The Jarnigan Family: Welcome Bennett Michael!

I know it's been a month since Bennett arrived, but as you can imagine, life has been a bit crazy around the Jarnigan house (It's only taken me two days to do this post). Therefore, I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably not going to be sending out birth announcements. I didn't do it for Ed either, so I don't feel so bad. :-) I wanted to post some pictures of Bennett from the hospital and then a short little video I took of him the other day. When he was born, he was 7lbs. 13oz and 19.75 inches long.

Ed and I took Ben to the doctor yesterday and he has grown so much in the past month! He is now 10lbs. 7oz. and 22.75 inches long. He is such a big eater, so I'm not surprised at all that he has grown so much.

Some may be wondering how Ed is doing with it all. He loves his little brother and is so proud to be a big brother. We haven't changed much about our routine, so that helps. Ben just comes along wherever we go. He lives in the carrier and loves every second of it. He's my snuggle bug.

In the pictures, you can see where he has spots on his face. The cord was wrapped around his neck when he was born and they had to vaccum him part of the way (only about 5 sec) because his heartbeat was quickly going down. A bit scary for a second, but he was fine. It was an easy labor otherwise- only 8 hrs!
