Soren Christen Bennion

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Soren to our family. He was born today (10/15) at 10:15 in the morning. Both he and Amy are doing very well. We are humbled by the incredible experience and are very grateful to have such an incredible little person added to our lives. We are excited for all of you to meet him. We'll keep you updated.
We think that he looks an awful lot like William when he was a newborn.
He was 4.23 kg (9.32 lb) and 55 cm (21.6 in)
We are extremely blessed to have incredible friends here in Denmark. This is one of our favorites, Elpida (and John) Leit. They live two doors down and we get to together as often as possible. She came over at 4 in the morning to stay with the kids and took care of them all day. When we got home the house was immaculate. They came to see the baby during visiting hours.

CONGRATS! I was sending you delivery karma Amy! ;) He definitely looks like William! I can't wait to hear all about the delivery differences from Denmark vs US. They do epidurals, right? He is just beautiful. Congrats you guys, we really can't wait to see him.

Congratulations! He is so beautiful Amy! Glad you finally found my blog! I have enjoyed reading yours. Someday we might join you on your side of the world. Shawn talks about working out there temporarily. We will be in Spain next March though.

Anyway, hope you are doing well!

Okay, time has gone by too quickly. I was wondering just yesterday how many months you have left and clearly I was off. Congratulations, he is so cute. Soren is a perfect name, what a darling boy. How are you feeling? How is it having 3? When are you coming back to visit?
