Squeakers Goes Camping

It's that time of year again!
The cubscout spring campout!
Squeakers (Amalia) is such a great baby.

Okay, let me pause here and tell you where my nickname for her came from.
She always squeaks a lot before she cries to give me a chance to sort her out so she doesn't have to cry (so thoughtful!).  John always used to say she sounded like a baby raptor, after he had us all watch all Jurassic Parks I have to admit, she really did.  However, I think she sounds more like a baby tiger now, so cute.

Anyway, Our camping neighbours were concerned about a new baby in the tent right next to them, they didn't believe that she was as good as we claimed.  By the end of the campout people were asking if our baby was real because they never heard a peep from her the whole time! I think she really likes the outdoors, just like her Mummy.

Big brother Ethan picks flowers for her hair.
 NOT our tent! We dont drink soda.
 All holding hands, sweet.
 Squeakers!!!

And the Fun Begins

By
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

By
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 ...
