We Are Expecting!!!

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!!!

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?"  They both shrugged.  I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
