Rachael Emily-Baby Naming

The hardest part about having a child for me is finding a name.
I have been dreading the naming process, that is why we started so early.
I didn't get a name for Ethan until I went into labor and was hoping that would not be the case this time.
I am a super organized control freak kind of person so it has been stressing me out.

We decided to go to Barnes and Noble to give it another try. While searching, and hating every name, I re-suggested a name that I have loved for a long time and we decided! Yay! I was SO excited! I still am so excited.
I never would've guessed we would find a name so soon.
For now I will announce the middle names and save her name for her birth announcement. The middle names are Rachael Emily.
Rachael is to honor my lovely sister that passed 8 years ago. She is my heart.
Emily is my little sisters middle name, and she is my everything.
My 2 favorite people balled up into one precious angel, our daughter. =)

Celebrate with a pumpkin spice hot chocolate and a chilly Autumn walk.

We watch a movie with the boys every night. We do seasonal movies, because I am season obsessed. We got to start this season with one of my all time faves, The Corpse Bride.

I cannot watch this movie enough, I'm a hopeless romantic and huge Tim Burton fan, this movie was made for me. Hopefully the boys will let me watch Coraline next, it's such an eerie movie, I really don't like it one bit but can't help myself.

My other favorite thing about fall...

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 ...
