Here we are on Sunday with Golden and LeeAnn
And if you can believe it, here's the entire Lee family (minus David)!
It's amazing we even got one picture with all the grandkids semi-behaving.
My mom with Benji in his cute blessing outfit.
Since Benji is a particular shade of pasty white, we quickly figured out we didn't want to put him in pale clothes for the blessing for fear of them turning him into a ghost baby. (We did however wrap him in the same white blanket Peter had for his blessing.) In the end we went with this great bright lime green outfit. I think he looks like a doll.
In other news, we were finally able to get Benji's heart murmur that his pediatrician found at his 2 month check-up looked at. After meeting with a truly wonderful pediatric cardiologist, it looks like Benji has a medium-sized Ventricular Septal Defect which is basically a hole in the dividing wall that separates the lower two chambers of his heart. This can be a serious condition which could eventually require surgery, but our doctor was pretty optimistic about Benji's outlook since he has been steadily gaining weight, eats well and has good color. We'll just be watching him for the next few months pretty closely for any signs of struggle.
In the meantime, we'd greatly appreciate all your prayers for our sweet little man.
