AW: Introducing Ben (PIP)
Here are a few pictures of Ben! Our first few days have been pretty eventful. We've left the house every day since coming home, and today I even nursed in public, which was a big accomplishment for me.
Ben dropped from a birthweight of 6lb to a discharge weight of between 5lb9/10 oz. Yesterday, we had our first doctor's appt/lactation consultation and he's up to 5lb12oz.
H and I are adjusting to life with a newborn. Ben has been really good so far, so we're just enjoying this phase with a baby that just eats, sleeps and poops.
This was Ben on Friday evening. I sent H home to get a good night sleep, and Ben and I were just chilling in the hospital room watching the baseall game. He's such a good luck charm for the Pirates this season.
This was right before we took him home from the hospital. So tiny!
Here he is after eating. Such a milk mustache!
