Ben’s Baptism
Sunday, March 19th, 2006It went great! Thanks so much to everyone that came! Some of you drove quite a distance, and we’re really grateful for that. We got a few pictures that we’ll throw online eventually… :)

Two-week doc visit…
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006…yesterday afternoon went very, very well! He’s up 1.5 pounds since birth, right on schedule. Doc wanted him gaining a pound since the visit two weeks earlier, and he was up 20 ounces. Hurray for breastfeeding! ;)
We had a lot of questions for our pediatrician, this being our first child and all, and he happily addressed all of our (apparently slightly paranoid) concerns. As it turns out, a lot of stuff that seems frustrating or even a little scary to us as new parents is perfectly normal in a newborn. We’re definitely relieved!
There was one thing… he’s got a little bit of a flat spot on the back left side of his head. We’re not sure if it was from his rather taxing delivery or if it’s something he’s developed since being home. We’re keeping an eye out, though, and we’ll see.
Barring any developments, Ben’s next doc visit isn’t for another two months…. for SHOTS! Yikes!
First church visit, upcoming baptism…
Friday, March 10th, 2006Our little guy went to his first church service last night, btw… Thursday night Lenten service. He was very good (read: asleep most of the time), even with the very bright church lights shining like a laser into his face! ;) His baptism is on the 19th during the 10:30am service, if you’re in the neighborhood.
