Hello everyone! With our family and friends scattered all over the United States, I have decided to try my hand at blogging. I will try to keep you up to date with some of our favorite pictures of Benjamin, new milestones that he reaches and how life with our little man is going.

After the delivery the nurse guided Chad to the nursery where Benjamin was introduced to Grandma Becker.

Our first thoughts when we got home were "Okay...now what??" With no nurses to help we adapted quickly to the throws of parenthood. I am pretty sure that the hospital gives you the pee, poop and eat charts to take your mind off of the sleep that you are not getting but mostly to reassure new parents like us that as long as he pees and poops according to their guidlines that he must be eating enough. I have to say that it did put my mind at ease.
