Summer on the Green/Rock the Light Concert

Check out the new blog for SUMMER ON THE GREEN

It has been a long time since I have posted last and since I pretty much only use this to show pictures of Ben, I will stop writing and give you what you want.

Three Weeks

Ok, so I know that I am not good at posting to our blog, but just be happy when we do! The last three weeks have been amazing! Ben has done super well, as has mom. He has been a great baby in terms of his sleeping and crying. He really only cries when he is hungry and he is getting close to sleeping all the way through the night (well, 6 hrs!) regularly. My brother got married last weekend in Pittsburgh and it was amazing to see how much Ben had grown and changed in just the three days I was gone! They grow so quickly! He has baby acne right now, which comes and goes. He is also a pretty gassy baby. He takes after his mother (just kidding Hope!), it's probably his father! Here are some more pics of Ben and his new adventure in life!

Friends and Family

Visiting

If you would like to come and visit Hope and little Benjamin, please feel free to come by Tuesday or Wednesday. Give me a call (636-484-2924) to let me know when you are coming so that we can make sure we are available. We would love to see you and introduce you to Benjamin. Here are also some more pics!

Charles Benjamin Parsons

He is finally here! Benjamin is 9lbs. 0oz. and 22 in. long. Enjoy the pics!

We're at the Hospital

We went out for dinner last night around 5:30 with a friend and began waiting and waiting for the phone call to come to the hospital, our bed is ready! We waited at the restaurant until Hope couldn't sit there any longer. I told her that as soon as we left and got back to our friends house they would call. Sure enough, we literally pulled in his driveway and they called telling us to come in! So we got into our room and about 5 nurses swarmed Hope and started poking, prodding, sticking, questioning and who knows what else. As soon as they swooped in they were gone. It was a whirlwind 15 minutes, but there we were, alone in the room, awaiting what the next 24 hours had in store for us. We watched "Waking Ned Divine" last night and Hope slept through most of it...so that was good. She slept fairly well in her bed last night. I say in my chair tossing and turning the whole night realizing what the next 25 years of my life was going to be like. The nurses came in every two hours two check Hope's blood pressure, ect. They have been very kind here and very accommodating to all of our needs. They are great. They finally started Hope on Potassin (the drug used to induce labor) at 6 am this morning. It will probably be another 10-12 hours before we have any really exciting news. So we continue to wait, pray, and take in this amazing experience. I will try to keep you updated as the day progresses!
