We Are Expecting!!!

By
John, myself and the boys are excited to announce that we are going to have a new addition to the family!!!!!  Excited, overjoyed, elated are a few of the words to describe how we all feel right now.

After having Ethan I truly thought I was never going to have another baby, not because I did not want one (because I did) but because, let's just say circumstances were less than ideal at the time.

John definitely did not expect to ever be...expecting... again either! But I guess we both never expected to find each other. =)
This is something we have talked about since day 1, and the time is finally here and now!

First things first... Need that cocoa butter to keep everything in check!!

Next, baby naming, it takes me forever to find a name I like, so the earlier start we get, the better!!



I have lost 2 pounds but my tummy is obviously growing!!

I put on 40pounds each pregnancy, believe it or not, so I'm ready!

Thanx to Mummy and Daddy for good, genes, I always pop right back to normal in no time. =)

 The beginning of the pregnancy was very rocky, but things seem to be stable now.  Still taking it as easy as possible, don't want to throw anything off.  The boys and John are my care takers, they are excellent at it! (Mainly keeping me fed!!)  My appetite is through the roof!!  Since I am already a healthy eater, and I want to give little Baby Benham the best start on life, I stick mainly to organic fruits, vegetables and juices... along with the handful of vitamins John ensures I take everyday.  Somehow I have no appetite for meat (weird) so I have to have ensure protein drinks, which are pretty yummy to me right now.

We are having so many changes in our life, all very positive.  Here's to the future and a little one!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

By
Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it.   Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet.   I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

By
Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
