First three weeks

He is finally here!!!  Benjamin Robert Moeller was born on Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 4:27 pm.  He was 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.  He was born with a full head of jet black hair, just like his mommy and has a handsome round face like his daddy.  His eyes are still a beautiful dark cobalt blue.  Daddy thinks they will be brown and Mommy thinks they will be blue.  Benjamin decided that he did not want to wait for his mommy to go through labor and was born C-section.  Both Mommy and Ben are doing just fine!

Three weeks and one day have gone by since Benjamin was born!  I cannot believe it has been three weeks already!  He is the most beautiful thing we have ever seen and we love just watching him change and grow as time goes on.  Aaron and I are still in awe that he is ours forever!

Benjamin is a great baby!  He is sleeping well at night and only fusses when he is tired or hungry.  He has been working hard on training Mommy and Daddy.  Unfortunately, Mommy had to be sent through diaper bootcamp.  After Ben did a "sneaky pee" on 4 outfits by mid-afternoon, Mommy finally caught on. 

I am doing good.  The healing process after the c-section has gone very smoothly without any complications! I am able to be up and moving around and able to be taking care of Ben.  Fortunately, Ben is sleeping in large chunks at night already so exhaustion is not as bad as it could be!  On my list of favorite ways to spend my day are snuggling with Ben, kissing Ben, watching Ben explore his new world, memorizing the shape of his features, and watching him grow.  My little Peanut is already in 0-3 months clothing! 

Daddy is so proud of his little boy!  Aaron was able to take 2 weeks of paternity leave to be with us in the hospital and the first week at home.  It was a blessing for all of us.  His first week back was a little rough as we were still trying to figure out what we were doing with this new little wonder.  Benjamin has already watched some basketball and football with Daddy!

Personally, we think Benjamin is the most adorable baby ever!  It helps that he is a really good baby as well.  At this point, his favorite things are staring at the ceiling, snuggling, pooing now more than 20 minutes after a diaper change, and sleeping. 

Yesterday was a big day for little Benjamin!  His umbilical cord fell off and revealed a cute little belly button!! 

Just one more thing for Mommy to kiss and oodle over.
