Our sweet boy is almost five weeks old and continues to get more and more entertaining. I can't get enough of his funny faces and antics. Watching him grow and change is amazing.

I can't believe my little bun is three weeks old but, at the same time, I cannot remember life without him.  We got out of the house a lot more this week.  My mom and I took him to Cumberland to spend time with both of his great-grandmas.  He slept for the entire hour and a half car ride there and back; as long as music is playing in the car, he is very content.  It was amazing to see my grandmothers make over my sweet little boy so much.  Casey and I had a little date Saturday night and my parents watched Benton.  It was nice to get out and crazy how much I missed him even though we were gone for less than two hours.  My heart is very full.  

On Mother's Day

I could not be prouder to be this sweet angel's mom. Watching him grow just over the past two weeks has been amazing. He already has such a personality and is bringing us so much joy. I love him more than anything.

Benton was born on April 26.  I was five days overdue and went in for a non-stress test, only to find that he was breech. I was several centimeters dilated and had been contracting for a week.  We went in that night to the hospital and they tried to turn him.  The painful process lasted about thirty minutes then they determined I would have to have a c-section.  Although the process was VERY different than the natural birth I had prepared for and envisioned, everything worked out wonderfully.  My 8 lb. 9 oz. (bigger than expected!) baby boy was born healthy and really is all that matters.  He is ten days old today and here are some highlights of his first week and a half:
