Navy Marine Corps Society Nurse Visit

BREAKING NEWS --- Benjamin's Umbilical Cord Stump fell off last night
BATH TIME IS ON!

We were so very fortunate today to have Benjamin's 2-week check up done at home by Nurse Charlotte. Only the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) offers a home visit by the "visiting nurses" (That's right, for Navy and Marine Corps only - just one more reason to Beat Army!) It was very comforting to share the 2 hours with Charlotte, where we could rapid fire questions and she could demonstrate on our real live test baby (Benjamin). Bottom line, Benjamin is a healthy little boy and what she describes a "feeder and a grower" and "long".

Weight status:
Birth.....................................8 lbs 2.4 oz
2 Day....................................7 lbs 15 oz
2 Weeks...............................9 lbs 1 oz

Additionally we learned all about "Tummy Time" and how this helps in Benjamin's development (next update will contain video of his "workout"). Mom and Dad have already mapped out a training plan to have Benjamin walking in about 2 or 3 weeks.

Benjamin worked so hard during his baby workout that he PASSED OUT (but you have to say it like Arnold Schwarzenegger or those clowns from Saturday Night Live on "Sprocketts, Time to Dance"); nevermind.
