Twelve: Bundle of Joy


Benjamin Stone was generally a sweet natured and contented baby. 


His parents both doted on him from the very beginning and that didn't change.


He was a 'big boy' with a healthy appetite.  Ben was not shy about letting folks know he was hungry in the only way he could.


Being a touch over-protective and a first time Mum, Ana sometimes slept in Ben's room and not upstairs with Alex.  This did help with the time it took to respond to those midnight and three am feedings.


There were moments when Ana would look heavenward and cry
"What am I going to do with you?!"
but there were also times she would offer a silent prayer of thanks for her little angel.

And of course Ben had the benefit of not two, but three loving people on hand to care for him.  Sometimes Jonah would rush to the nursery to see his nephew before he'd even changed out of his scrubs.

And things continued in this vein as the days became weeks, the weeks became months ...  ...  ...
