Ben's firsts...

Bringing Benji home for the first time was nerve wrecking! But thank goodness for all that researching I did! Not only was I all stocked up on diapers and wipes (I am just now catching up to my pre-baby buying diaper stash!) thanks to Amazon's amazing deals! We had everything we needed...and then some! My sister threw me an amazing baby shower where I got everything I needed!

Now all there is left to do is wait for Ben's firsts....

One-day-old Ben's first Thanksgiving (in the hospital!)

Notice my amazing Photoshopping skills! (haha!) I love that vignette!

Ben's first Christmas!

Ben's first visit with Santa Clause!

I wish we caught his first smile on camera, but I was so busy enjoying Ben and hoping that it was indeed a smile (and not gas!) that I didn't think of my camera.

Sometimes living in the moment is the most important thing!

Ben's first shots! January 24, 2011

I cried on this day more than he did! I never thought I'd be one of those moms, but WOW, once I saw him scream a silent scream and then burst into tears, I couldn't help it! The thought that he had NEVER felt anything like that before in his short life of 2 months crushed me! But he was such a trooper! The very second I lifted him off the table and into my arms he stopped crying, me on the other hand...it was a couple of minutes after lol!!
