Christmas With The Benhams

Since we decided to go to Christmas dinner at one of the best restaurants in Dubai, with our best friends in Dubai, I decided that I was making Christmas dinner for our friends on Christmas Eve.
I have to say I did a very good job!
Especially with it being my first time, I am officially a big girl now. =)

The kids could not have had a better Christmas morning.
Mummy and Binky joined us on skype while we opened presents and watched the kids go crazy!

Amalia was the best first Christmas John and I have ever seen with a baby.
I think maybe it is because of the excitement of the boys, but when she opened her gifts she went crazy singing and dancing and small bursts of sounds because she was just that excited!
Kaiden and Ethan their first Christmas were cute and more confused than anything.

She also started playing peek-a-boo on Christmas Eve and started walking (with the help of a toy) on Christmas day!
So much excitement packed into a short period of time, needless to say she has been sleeping quite a bit since!

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...
