Ben = 2 months & is Blessed

Ben turned 2 months on December 23rd...MY birthday! 
Ben weighed in at 14.8 lbs and is 24.5 inches long at his 2 month checkup. that's double his birthweight. He's chubby everywhere, but I think he holds most of his weight in his cheeks/chin/man-boobs. they're HUGE!

Doctor sent us to a specialist for his eyes, (he's having some issues with his eyes). he calls it "Visually Delayed" which means he could eventually catch up and be able to see just fine.  
OR
 it could mean that there is a more serious cause, having to do with his brain developement. we just have to monitor it. and wait and wait and wait. we're going to be waiting and praying - a lot. We're also trying to not talk about it TOO much, because talking about it makes me worry, and we don't want to waste time worrying about the future that we cannot control. But, we are preparing ourselves for the worst, and hoping for the best
We will have another appointment in about 8 weeks. we'll see how it goes...

Ben's Baby Blessing
December 26, 2010
 We had a very small, private blessing for benny boy.
(it was in the Bishop's office. no microphone, tiny audience, no hosting a party afterwards, no stress). it was nice.
