Weekend Fun

After 3 solid weeks of doing "kids stuff", we have a kid free weekend!! (Minus a fetus of course) So, what can an exhausted pregnant girl do? Not much, but we did manage to have a full and entertaining weekend.I had a fudge craving, perfect excuse to take a quick trip to Helen on a Friday evening.  I am so so so glad we went.  I always find Helen to be very romantic, and, as usual, it was.  Can never have too much romance =) 

Between a lot of hand holding and eye gazing we found some time to be a little silly while grabbing some fresh squeezed lemonade, I'm SO making a pitcher of that! 

It was a great break from my typical going to the pool... and I guess that's all I have been doing!! It's obviously not THAT bad to go to the pool frequently, up keeping my summer glow, and spending time with John when he can come with me, but I have been missing my gym time now that I have become lazy and suspended my membership... =(  I seem to keep up on exercise walking through EVERY baby store in the entire Atlanta area!

Anyway, today we went to Cirque du Soleil "Dralion", it was the usual Cirque du Soleil AMAZING!! It is about my 6th show, don't think I will ever get tired of it.
All in all, a great week and even better weekend.  Can't wait for the boys to get home, I always miss their little faces. =)

Oh! And even though you can't really tell in the pics, little baby Benham is getting bigger and bigger, which of course means I'm having a harder and harder time fitting into my teeny clothes, so exciting!

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...

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical.
