Who is that cute baby?




It's been a long, hard, exhausting, yet exiting, three weeks and four days (but who's counting?) Babies take a lot of work, a lot more work than I've ever given new moms credit for, and much of that work is pretty monotonous (eating and crapping and eating and crapping), but it's completely worth it! I was blessed with a baby with lots of "personality," which means he parties all night instead of sleeping (takes after his mom), is defiant just to be defiant (takes after his dad), and is super gassy (again, takes after dad). We have been learning a lot and wouldn't trade a second for anything, but we did appreciate our first night off tonight (Nick and Norah's Infinate Playlist and dinner at a really nice restaurant), leaving Bennett to be fussy for Nick's folks. I also had my first experience with the pump and dump- I was too paranoid to feed the baby after a glass of wine and a glass of Champagne (back in the day I called that breakfast- now, it's the most alcohol I've had at one sitting in almost a year). It's definately a new kind of life. Anyway, enough of the deatils, you all want to see pictures, so without further ado, here are some pictures from the past few weeks. I may be biased, but I think he's pretty cute!

NICK PASSED THE BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have tons of good intentions of posting all the adorable pictures of Bennett that we have been taking over the past few weeks, but I had to take a minute and post our good news! In case something about the title is not clear, Nick got his bar results today and he passed! Not that there was any doubt in my mind, but needless to say someone in our house was on pins and needles all week!

Stay tuned for Bennett pics, hopefully today or tomorrow! Poor kid with two lawyer parents!
