Introducing Benjamin Thomas Roberts!

Well our little Benjamin is here! He arrived at 8:02 January 15th, 2007. It took 12 hours of labor (only an hour and a half of painful stuff before the epidural) Otherwise it went great. I only pushed for 20 minutes in comparison to the 3 hours with Ashley so that was a huge improvement. He is doing really well now that we are home. Feeding well, sleeping well, I think that is about all a new mom can hope for! My only issue is engorgement, ahhh that part is no fun! We took him to the Dr. today for his check 1st check and he is already gaining weight since leaving the hospital. His bilirubin level was slightly elevated so they had to do a heal prick to double check, it was 14 which for his age they said was normal. They are going to check it again at his 2 week appointment. Ashley is adjusting well to having a new baby brother in the house. She had a rough day yesterday with lack of sleep and a messed up routine but is doing much better today and is enjoying "helping" with Ben. I will update with more pictures as time allows......Thanks for all the well wishes!
