Noah Benjamin

Finally, Noah decided to come see us. He was born on May 26th at 7:42am. After a long night of contracting, getting antibiotics and not sleeping, he came quickly after 6 am in the morning. I was so relieved to have him out and so glad to see him. He is nothing that I was picturing. He has blonde hair, I pictured dark brown, he was much smaller than I ever expected - 6lbs, 9oz, 18.5 inches. And I love him more than I ever thought I could. I miss him when I haven't held him for a while. The last two mornings, I woke up before he did and it took everything in me not to wake him up so I could hold him. Ryan is doing really well with him and always says how much he "lubs" Noah's hair. Life seems perfect right now.

Andrea was able to come and help out with delivery and I am so thankful that she was willing to be there. I am also grateful to Amy who helped us out with Ryan the night before. My mom, mother-in-law and Missy also were there and I was so glad that they were able to share this experience with us.

Now the fun part...here are a couple of my favorite pictures...
