Baby Ben is one month old!

Eyes open!


He's still a tiny little guy, but has gained a whole pound since birth - now up to 7lbs 11oz.  This puts him somewhere around the 30th percentile on the Down syndrome growth chart.  He saw the cardiologist today and got a good report.  Just a tiny hole in his heart, but nothing that will cause any symptoms or require treatment.  I'm redoubling our efforts at breastfeeding -- I'd really like to switch him over from the bottles so I can stop using the dreaded pump!  All in all we're doing so well!  So thankful he's a healthy boy and a good sleeper at night.  Can't wait to start seeing smiles from this guy!
