Happy one month Benton!! Marika I'm so happy you've been able to hold Benton for Kangaroo care. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to wait that long! Those pictures are adorable and you're just beaming. :) Nate and I send our love and prayers.

ReplyDeleteOur first baby came 3 months early on 12/30/78 - weighed 2-1/2 lbs and 11" but keep in mind the year. He just turned 35, has a PhD in physics from Cambridge U., and has been a winner every day of his life. You will all be GREAT - Best best wishes and lots of prayers your way.
