cutest chubby cheeks ever!
Well, he made it! Bennett has been trying to come into this world too early for months now. Michelle has had to take medicine, shots once a week, ultrasounds every other week, and then the ultimate naughty word for all pregnant women...BED REST. It all worked, because Michelle made it to 39 weeks and was induced Wednesday. It was so fun! Mom, Kiley & I were able to witness Danny and Michelle add one more to their family. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We got there at five pm and he was in our arms at 1 am. It was so exciting. Michelle's epidural worked (third time is a charm) and she was able to relax. She was feeling pretty good, when all the sudden she cries, "It's not working anymore! It hurts!" The nurse came in and said it was time to push. Two HORRIFIC pushes and out pops chubby Bennett. Oh, I tear up thinking about it! He is so wonderful.
This is Luke asking, "Do you have another Bennett in there?" so nice to hear after giving birth!
Oh, and so nice of your sister to share this on her blog :o)

The German Family
Rylee brought mommy flowers and Luke brought Bennett two of his old, dirty blankets he carries around and a spiderman movie! So sweet...
