A Gift to the World

The boys have been excellent secret keepers (I have trained them well). They have known about his gifts for about 3 weeks now and Ethan helped me get them all wrapped up and beautiful. They get so excited when we do something special for John, they love and appreciate him so much, as do I. I wish I could do way way more for him, he has been so understanding while I have been slacking the past few months.

John is the most deserving person of all things GREAT, WONDERFUL, FABULOUS, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, and instead he's stuck with me!! lol!! Just kidding. I think he would argue that I am all the above (I try to be...since that's what he deserves). He is kind, sweet, caring and what I love most about him is that he is always looking to grow as a person. Hopefully we will continue to grow together and that I will spend everyone of his birthdays with him till his very last.

Birthday morning opening presents.

That evening we had a few friends and family over for appetizers and cake.

Mummy got John such a sweet gift, it very appropriately signifies a new chapter.
Before After

In one of my favorite love songs of all time the lyrics are, "And I find myself thanking your mother, for giving birth to a saint, my spirit flies when I say your name. If there's one thing that's true, it's that I was born to love you.". Your birthday has been a gift to the world. I love you.

Can't wait to see the professional ones! Waiting for the go ahead It's time!! Everyone ready t...

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...

Beautiful Baby Shower

This past weekend was our baby shower!! We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types. It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca. I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us. This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!! He definitely knows his Mummy! The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy). Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all). Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each. It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital. Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive ...
