Our first Outing... & Many Thanks!















Hello to you all - just a quick thank you to everyone that has been so sweet w/ your emails, phone calls and love that you've sent my/our way... I keep forgetting that I had surgery on top of bringing home a new baby, so really trying to get healed up, which is going really well... It feels great to be home (slightly overwhelming at times), but we're all doing great and just trying to figure it out as we go. Any new parent advice you'd like to send our way would be great -- we love hearing from the pro's out there!

We had our first outing yesterday - unfortunately Ben slept through it all, but it was great for us all to get some fresh air and get my body moving after surgery - we went down to the bike path and walked for 30 minutes, which was great! Also, Bennie had his first bath.. and we started w/ a pacifier b/c he has such a high need to suck and well... if any of you have nursed a baby, then you know what it feels like to be a human pacifier, which I dont' want... so, we use it in times of fussyness and he doesn't need it that often.... Here's a few pics... Enjoy and sending you all much love!

Great pictures!!! You guys look so happy!! You are both just glowing! Parenthood obviously agrees with you. I am really looking forward to coming to see you in person, but in the meantime, the pictures and comments on the blog are wonderful. Have fun on your continuing adventure.
Love,

This blog is so great......we love seeing pictures of our first grandbaby and his Mom & Dad. Each day will be new and exciting with this special little one. We can hardly wait to hold and cuddle him. Only then will it seem real.
See you Ben in less than a week!

Love, Gr & Gr Nelson
