I have to say my hospital experience was great! Wonderful staff, never a moment did I feel like people felt sorry for us, the nurses loved Bennett and couldn't get enough of him! No sadness, just joy and I'm so thankful for that. His blood sugar went up and down a couple of times but finally they were regulated and he failed the hearing test at first but passed this morning so we were very happy with that- one less thing to worry about! So for all of you that have been waiting to see pictures of the little guy, here you go!

I am so happy that Bennett is finally here and healthy (and chubby!!)and cannot wait to catch up. I am thinking about all of you... and miss you guys tremendously! XOXO to the girls and their baby brother!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! This is an amazing beginning for you and your family! Enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeleteHi Adrienne! I found your blog on a link from a friend and had to just tell you congrats on your beautiful baby boy. He is precious and I am so happy that your whole family is home and well. Your daughters are so gorgeous, too. I am sure they are loving their baby brother! My name is Mindy, I live in Utah, I'm a mother of four, and my youngest (Emily) was born with DS. When I read your first post about the abnormal triple screen-ultrasound-amnio results during your pregnancy, it was as if I were reading my own journal entry. We had very similar experiences. My Emily will be four in a few weeks and we honestly cannot imagine life without her. Best wishes on this new and wonderful adventure as Bennett's mom! He's blessed to have a loving family like yours...
ReplyDeleteAdrienne....he is absolutely beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome baby Bennett, so many people have been waiting for you to make your entrance into this world!!....you are just precious!

ReplyDeleteHe's adorable!!! Welcome home Bennett! I'm so glad he's well, and that you could all go home in 3 days! Great news, and how wonderful that your hospital experience was so good. Ours was, too, and it really set the stage for us.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, he is sooo sweet and adorable! Congratulations, I am incredibly happy for you and your family! I love the picture of your mom with Bennett, it reminds me of my mom holding Sylas. It sounds like everything went even better than anticipated, how wonderful. I look forward to staying updated with how things are settling in at home.
