The Big Farewell

By
As you all know we have moved to Dubai! And since we have been so busy with the move... and a total of 30hrs travel time, I am only now having time to get caught up on the blog.

Before we left we on course tried to see all our friends and family (who I miss incredibly by the way).

Here Amalia is with her Grandparents.  Daddy came from Florida, we visited Johns parents, and Mummy, well, the last 5 weeks she practically moved in, and when possible worked from home... our home.  So did my sister Bianca.
 Bye friends *waaahhh*
 Kids say bye
Everything was surreal, packing, saying good bye, didn't feel real, it still doesn't.

The first hardest goodbye was Daddy, and the second was Mummy and Binx.  Every time I thought of them when we were on the plane I cried.  The boys would just come over and hug me.  

I'm doing well now because skype and facetime makes it seem like they are in my living room everyday.

The last night Mummy and Binky stayed the night.  
Mummy and Binx, this will be hard without you.  I miss you so much already.  <3  Hope you don't mind me posting our "no makeup" pic, but I'm sure you knew paparazzi me would!

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.

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 ...
