Well, it’s finally happened, I had my new little baby boy. We named him Ben. He was born tues, june 3rd and weighed 9lbs 1oz, 21 1/2 ” long. They say only 4% of women actually have their babies on their due date, and now I’m part of that statistic. It has been a great first week. It’s taking a little adjusting to three children, but overall we’re all doing great.

A lot of you have already heard that we are going to be filming me teaching Ben to use baby sign language right from the beginning. I think this will be so helpful to parents. It makes a big difference if you can watch someone in the process. I’m also excited that I will be able to document all of the stages and steps to have as a reference.

I would love for any of you that have already started teaching your children to use baby sign language to comment on the blog and share your stories. And for those of you that are planning on teaching your children, this will be a great place to ask questions and get support.

I look forward to hearing from you all!
