Happy Birthday Ben!

James Benjamin Butler made his appearance on Tuesday, November 23rd at 4:22pm. He weighed 8 lbs. 10 oz. and was 21 1/4 inches long. He is a big boy and I'm not really sure as to how he fit inside of me! We just got released from the hospital this morning and have been home for about 3 1/2 hours. Since being home, Ben has eaten, pooped, slept, been smothered by big sister Kate and ignored by big sister Maggie. And of course Lucy and Chuck are trying to get a handle on the situation too! I'm feeling pretty good, considering I had a baby 2 days ago. So all in all, I think we're doing pretty good as a new family of 5!

Enjoy the pictures of Ben's first couple of days of life!
