Getting Ready

I have so many photos that is why I have had to do so many posts leading up to the wedding.
From one Aunt I uploaded 633 photos (that would be you Aunty Susan!)
I have photos here and there from friends and family.

It was so exciting waking up on our wedding day.
My flower girl kept whispering to me, "I'm getting nervous Aunty Becca."
My response was of course, "So am I!"
Kindle kept saying, "This is how a wedding day is supposed to be, so calm and happy."

And she was right, it was perfect.

Me and the bridesmaids, flower girl and Mummy and my Aunts met up to get ready.

                            Finishing touches.                                           

I have been writing a journal for 2 and a half years for a wedding gift for John (yes, I knew early on I was going to marry him).  I had the boys come over from the guys wing to bring it to him as a surprise.

Now we are all ready to be Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready to come down                                                               Mummy 1st     With this ring...   You may kiss your bride! Ethan is a true romantic.  Whenever we watch movies with happy couples he always says that they are me and John.  For years he has been talking about us getting married. After the ceremony when we came in he was crying.   He said he tried to hold it in as long as possible...                      

Jamaica: How We Surprised The Boys/Video

I have so much going on that I am actually getting things done quicker (you know how that goes). So here are the pics of our last evening and the Vacation video!! Jamaica 2013 from Rebecca Benham on Vimeo . My friends came over after the family pics and we had so much fun reminiscing and catching up. I miss these girls so much, we have so many memories together.

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 couldn't feel pain in my back, it wasn't
