Going Private

Hi friends! Well, now that we have a little boy, we've decided to make our blog private. But, we want to keep sharing with the people we know. So, just leave your email address in comments and I'll send you an invitation. I won't publish comments on this post so you're email address will be kept private.

Here is Baby Ben hanging out with Dad. He often has this worried look on his face--I'm sure he got that from his mother!

Benson Michael Foster

Our little guy is growing up! He is already 2 1/2 weeks old, 21 3/4 inches long, 10 lbs. 5 oz., and growing out of his newborn look. He's been a pleasant little boy most of the time...but late in the evening he gets all of his grumpiness out--poor neighbors.

Choosing his name was a traumatic experience for me and never again will I wait until our child is born to choose a name. I'm too emotional, sleep-deprived, and dramatic to choose a name after birth. But, after a week with our poor little guy having a different name each day--we decided on Benson Michael Foster!

We need to take new pictures because he has already changed so much, but here are a few from when he was just a week old.

Look at his cute little smile--he does this all the time in his sleep!
