It's a BOY!!!

It's a BOY!!! :D
My husband and I welcomed our new little son, Benjamin Simon into our arms at 10:58 on Friday morning, Aug 24. He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and measured 20 inches long. All are doing well!!!! :)

(this is the first time I've accessed the computer since being home - and will be not really 'here' on OMD for a bit til things are settled down at home with our new baby. Thanks for all the love and support from my OMD friends - it's much appreciated and I was excited to post the news on here for you girls to see!)

Thank-you to everyone for all your support and congratulations on the birth of our son. He's doing very well, and is 2 1/2 weeks old now!

I have been popping online when I get a chance and keeping an eye on things on OMD, but I usually can't type much of anything b/c Benjamin hasn't been giving me much free time during the day. For some reason, he's being really good today, though!

Last evening he was very fussy, but after his bath he settled down and was a really good boy for us overnight - sleeping for two 3 hour stretches, and one 2 hour stretch. His mommy and daddy are very thankful that our little boy sleeps pretty well at night!

This morning, a photographer friend of ours did a photoshoot with him, and hopefully when we get those pictures back in a month or so I'll be able to post them on here also. For now, though, here's a computer sketch of him sleeping on my arm from last week:
