As the pain and tiredness has worn off from the first two weeks peace and contentment have settled in. The plan of salvation has become so clear to me. Having had so many years without Will and Benjamin, but seeking the blessing of a family and now having them here -- what a difference they make in my life. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for such priceless gifts.
As for motherhood, I never tire of watching Benjamin. His little movements, his expressions, his small stature, and his squinty eyes. With his whole life in front of him, I can't help but imagine him as a valiant priesthood holder. Courageous, choosing good from evil, much like Alma 13 describes.
Highlights from the past week, Benjamin has a strong neck and legs. I love when he pushes against me and stands on his own. He is so incredibly cute (as depicted in his first photo shoot shown above/below). Ben loves to suck, so as you can guess he really likes the binky. However, Will and I try to use the binky only in emergencies like - intense cries and when we are in public or his noises in the wee hours of the morning. Will just pointed out that in 11 days our boy will be one month old. Today he had a visitor who was three months old and the size difference was amazing-- babies change so fast. So put your helmets on and join us for an amazing year!

Okay so where are the first photo shoot pictures? :-)
Kara as you can guess I started typing and Benjamin wanted attention. I think he had his first tantrum in fact. So I had to finish the post later….

They do grow so fast, you're baby is going to look huge next to my new little baby (that's coming in a couple of days)!
