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. =)

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...

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...
