Sorry, had to reference the facts.

On to Benson! His weight is getting better and better, he is now up to 10lbs 14oz, which is a whole 3lbs 1oz more than when we went to the hospital on April 18th. Praise The Lord for that! Benson is being fed a healthy diet of formula now and he seems to be enjoying it quite well.

It's fitting that we were so distraught about Benson's non weight gaining and at the time the weather was terrible and not spring like. And now that he is gaining and healthy the weather is very springlike and beautiful! Speaking of beauty, I couldn't be more impressed with how well Pauline has been doing as mommy, she does such a great job with Benson and I am very happy to have her as my partner!

Mother's Day is this Sunday, it's fun to be able to help Benson with what to get for his mommy, or at least anticipate what he might choose based on his personality so far... Hopefully I am right...

The most recent 2 month check up, which was three weeks late, Benson got some immunizations. Sounds as of he cried quite a bit getting the shots, but it seems that there have not been any adverse side affects to date. He felt a tiny bit warm the day of the shots, but when we checked his temperature he was normal. Also at the check up, the doc referenced that Benson's sniffles that he had been having for a few days were the result of what seemed to be a cold. We had thought that he was just producing normal boogers, especially since he didn't have a runny nose, but what do we know? 

Just last night and today we started noticing a cough as well, so I guess the doc was right... Poor little guy, according to Pauline, she can definitely tell that he doesn't feel well. Still cute as a button though! (Never really understood that saying, is it because buttons are small?)

Anyway, I am grateful Benson is gaining weight and that I have such a great family! Pray that Benson's cold goes away, even though we know it will eventually.

Closing stats.
