It's a boy!!!



Bentley Wayne Desjardin
Born 5.31.12 at 7:42 am
7 pounds, 11 ounces
19" long

We are so thrilled that our baby is finally here!  He surprised us and came a week early.  I was pretty happy because I secretly wanted a May baby.  I get to share my birthday month with my little man.  He came just in time!  I wasn't too surprised it was a boy - right when we found out we were pregnant I thought it would be a boy.  Two boys.  I hope they will be the best of friends.  

Bentley is precious!  Perfect in every way.  He has a perfect round head, with a perfect little face and chubby cheeks. :)  Teeny, tiny feet and teeny, tiny ears. Dark hair and as of now blueish-gray eyes.  We'll see what color they end up.  I just love everything about him.  I can (and do) just stare at him all day long.  There is nothing better than snuggling a newborn.  I am trying really hard to soak it all up because I know how fast it goes.  Ryder seems HUGE now and I can't help but think about when he was just a tiny newborn - feels like just yesterday and I can't believe how the time has flown by.

Rudy is home for another week so we are just trying to enjoy some time with the 4 of us before reality hits and he has to go back to work while I somehow have to manage both boys on my own all day.  Freaking out just a *little* but I know with time it will become the norm, we'll have a routine and we won't even remember life with just one kid.

I will share more about Bentley and my birth story soon, but I really just wanted to get some pictures up!


L&D triage ... waiting for our room



We're having a baby!!



Middle of the night .... waiting.....



He's here!!




First thoughts:
1.) He's perfect!!
2.) He looks EXACTLY like Ryder the first moment I saw him.
3.) He's very blue - is he ok???




Assessing the baby and trying to determine why he is blue 







Waiting to hold my baby!!!























Proud daddy




Getting his first bath



Poor little bruised face (will explain w/ birth story post)


Peek-a-boo!









Brothers meeting for the first time!



Ryder quickly lost interest ... too much stuff in the room to mess with







Sweet kisses! <3









Haha, being a newborn fresh in the world has got to be rough ... I think his face says it all



Bentley's present to Ryder .... a new garbage truck!!



Sweet baby boy.







He has such sweet little eyes.




Snoozin....

 No more pictures please....











He reminds me a lot of Ryder here






I just love that little face!!

I Agree, There is nothing like newborn snuggles!! Soak it up for sure, it flies too fast. I hate that in one year they are already walking, it's not fair!!! The first 3 weeks are my favorite and I already wish I could turn back the clock on my baby! So exciting too that you had another boy!! I'm sure they will be best buddies!! YAY! ENJOY and CONGRATS!!!
