Benjamin Davis Key

Introducing Benjamin Davis Key. He was born September 10, 2009 at 3:44 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 inches long. He made quite an entrance into the world and is probably the most interesting birth story of the three children. He loves to sleep and is quite content most of the time. Lillee Grace says he eats, sleeps and poops. I would have to agree. He is such a sweet baby and just came right into our family like we couldn't imagine being without him.
Proud dad. A little sleep deprived already. Don't they say babies born in the middle of the night are the ones that get their days and nights confused.
I hope Scott got a good look at this operating room as he will be the next one to be in one during his "procedure".

A source of arguing for the two of us. I would say I took this pic about 8 a.m. Already at it.






This is the afternoon after Ben was born. LGK got off the bus and Scott brought them up to meet Ben. Lillee Grace was so excited and just loved on him. Baxter wanted to know what my IV was about, the things on my legs, my bracelets. Truly fascinated with the hospital garb. Oh, and Ben was cute too he thought. Lillee Grace is really a mother hen. So sweet.




Lord, be with us and guide us to know what to do. Amen.





You can imagine both children's surprise when they woke up Thurs. a.m. and mom was not at home to fix hair and get them dressed. Luckily, shirts were already out and they were very surprised to hear that mommy left in the middle of the night to go have Ben! Our many thanks to Aunt Amy for coming over to spend the night so that daddy could be at the hospital.

More details to come on Scott's Google search.
