the wait for 5lbs

Brant’s New Year’s resolution was that our house needed to change by 20lbs, I asked how he would like to accomplish this, he said "I either need to lose it or you need to gain it so I don’t look so big." Well 5lbs has changed EVERYTHING!

On Tuesday the 17th our new baby boy was born. Five weeks early weighing just 5lbs and he was 18inches long. On Thursday the 19th we received a phone call from LDS family services that a birthmother has officially selected us. On the 21st Bennett was released from the hospital at 4lbs 14 oz and placed in our arms.

There are so many details and miracles that happened along the way and some we are still discovering. We love him and have received a powerful witness that he is ours, we know he is and he knows it too!

I look forward to sharing the whole long story, soon. For now know he is loved and adored by his siblings, and parents.

He is growing and eating like a champ (3 days with us and he weighs 5lbs 3 oz). and although I think he has weird ears at least they are soft. :)

We have been overwhelmed with so much love and support, which we deeply appreciate.
