Bennett's first snow day



Although he didnt venture outside, we told Bennett all about the snow and how it was causing all sorts of trouble for his mom and dad traveling to the hospital in Tacoma.

I havent driven since August and the weather is definately not too inviting. Joel has been driving me up and down to the hospital but has loved to get to see him everyday even if it is stressful for his work schedule.

Bennett is definately not too busy these days, just sleeps most of the time as he would be doing if he was still in the belly. He is doing wonderful and I had a Dr. say to me "Someone needs to tell Bennett that he was supposed to be in the womb for 8 more weeks, He is sure trying to act a lot older." An overachiever already I guess :)

We are working pretty hard on getting him transfered to the nursery in Olympia. The only big step left between now and his venture home is learning to feed. This is something they usually learn how to do at around 36 weeks so it may be a couple more weeks in the hospital and we definately want him closer for that time.

It is very hard to leave him there at night. But not to worry, the night nurses love the round the clock calls from Mom. They are very sweet to update us on his every move no matter what time of night it is.

I know he is changing everyday so I have been getting a ton of pictures. He is amazing and we definately feel like the luckiest parents in the world.
