Baby Ben's First Day

We went into labor overnight on Monday the 25th, our exact due date (Ben takes after his dad in the punctuality department:) . He arrived at 8:19 pm that day after about 12 hours in the hospital, weighing in at just under 6 pounds. Welcome to our perfect little guy, Bennett James Dowers!
