Bentley is Here!!!

So this is beyond after the fact (almost a month to be exact) but on the morning of Tuesday November 8th Jennifer and Patrick, our close friends, welcomed their baby boy Bentley into this world!  He was quite the chunk, over 10 pounds, and ultimately she was relieved to have him by C-section.  Everything went smoothly without any complications.  Amen to that!  That following Thursday morning we got to spend some time with them at the hospital.  Patrick was such a natural Daddy and we were very impressed.  We didn't take any snapshots of Jenn because who wants your picture taken after a major surgery anyway?!  But it was so great to see them as giddy new parents together.  Below are some snapshots at the hospital. 

 

He didn't open his eyes once.  He just wanted to sleep the day away. I don't blame him one bit!  It's hard work breathing and eating on your own if you're used to being fed through a tube. Anyway, thereafter I got to spend a Saturday with Jennifer, since she wasn't able to lift anything after the surgery and Patrick was working.  For the must part Bentley slept peacefully, only fussing for food at one point. He is a GREAT baby! I can only hope for a little one that good when it's eventually our turn (which is still some time away)!  Below are some snapshots of the 5 minutes he was awake and wide eyed.  He's just so sweet. 

Here are a couple more pictures that Jennifer took.

He's already a dog lover as an infant!

Bentley enjoys some swing time that's for sure.  

Lastly, we are very honored and excited to be Bentley's Godparents.  We treasure him and his parents so much.  We look forward to watching this little man grow up and also to being a part of his life :)  Congrats to Patrick and Jennifer for a handsome and healthy little boy!
