Well, after 3 days of labor & being sent home from the hospital not once but twice, we have a healthy baby boy! Baby George Ryan Bennett was born on December 6th, 2010 at 9:24am. He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and 19.5 inches long. I'm sure my pain tolerance is way lower than most women because the labor pain was really bad. That said, I only pushed for 5 minutes and he was out! He is worth it, such a sweet baby.
We are enjoying being home and Keith is doing well for the most part. He loves his new baby brother. (Doesn't love the fact that there is someone else that demands Mommy & Daddy's attention.)
We also celebrated our first Christmas as a family of four. It was a nice just the 4 of us, even if we did miss our families. We all woke up at 6am and the present opening didn't end until around noon. Keith was so excited about Santa visiting and also loved opening all his brother's gifts too. He played with some of the gifts between opening more, which I think won't happen next year when he's older.
I am so thankful for my wonderful family. I feel so lucky to have two healthy children, and a loving husband. Here's to a great year!

Oh Jen, I so enjoy this sweet post of yours. Congratulations on your newest family member! I can't wait to meet him.
