So the first month raising Benjamin went by just like that. He is doing very well, and growing fast. Weighting in 11lbs (5kg) and measuring 22 inches (55.9cm) in length. The first month wasn’t so bad since he slept most of the time, well breast-feed, and stayed warm and comfortable with humidifier machine turned on 24×7. Besides, Grace was extremely helpful with getting baby socks, diapers and such. She loves her little brother, and there wasn’t much a jealousy problem. We thank God for this beautiful baby boy, among many other special blessings that come along with the package. We are thankful for: no waking up much during the night, no rocking baby to sleep, no jaundice (yellow-skin), no severe illness, etc. He is just wonderful! God knew our limits, and He gives what we can bare. That’s what so amazing about God.
In our culture we celebrate baby-1-month-old. It is kinda like Baby Shower in the western world but we celebrate after birth instead of before birth. Lots of people from church are talking to be involved helping out with setup, foods, cooking and such. We are blessed with many loving, caring people around us. We will definitely post that here in our blog.
For those we missed sending the baby announcement, we apologize. Benjamin Christian Le was born on October 29th, 2007, 1:55pm, weighted 7lbz 1oz (3.2kg), measured 20 inches (50.8cm)
