I’M HERE!! Surprised ’em all at a hefty 10 lbs. 2 oz. and ready for life! /s/ Ben!

This post is from Gramma Oli :  Benjamin William Krug is here with a message for you:   “I broke the scale;  they had to bring in another one.  It was 12:22 p.m. as I recall, that I muscled my way out.  I let ’em hear about it, too!  Everyone was all smiles, and I saw my big brother, Sam who’s very happy, but had just told Gramma that I would be able to crawl!  I have some catching up to do, I think.

Daddy and Mommy have been holding me, of course, and I really like my swaddling blanket a lot.  And my breast milk, too.  Mommy and Daddy decided to let Gramma give me my first bath.  What a kick that was!  I heard her say, “He’s REALLY strong!”  She finally got my arms pried up so she could clean my pits!  I see I’ve got some training of these grownups I’ll have to do.

I might be home tomorrow afternoon.  I can’t call — they haven’t given me my cellphone yet.  But I’ll holler as loud as I can. 

Thanks for praying for me and my family.  It worked!
