Happy Birthday To Me!

I have been so busy with other things that my birthday snuck up on me so suddenly.
I woke up feeling a bit "off" and came out to a fully decorated living and dining room.
John so sneakily got out of bed and set everything up for me.
Then time for presents!
The boys told me they were making my present, I had no clue what it was but I did not think it would be as good as this.
I LOVE my hand carved heart shaped rocks!
John tries to stay away from buying me clothes, but he saw this Darth Vader hot pink T and knew it was right for me!
Then a "gift card" for a full day of shopping in Dubai! Umm, yes please!
We ate at the Cheesecake Factory there which is always nice because while you eat you look out to the aquarium.
THEN my family back home put money in my account to add to the shopping day.
Let's just say I spent my birthday in the largest most amazing mall in the world doing one of my favourite things, shopping!
And in my old age I was so exhausted that I couldn't make it out to dinner so we ordered in my favourite food and met my friends at the beach club for a little while to celebrate a bit.
They were all so sweet giving me flowers, even the boys friends got me flowers!
Everyone made me feel so special and the boys were extra extra sweet.
Thank you so much everyone for making my Birthday AMAZING. I love you all!

P.S. Excuse the "1" candle, I bought 4 different ones for Amalia's birthday and these were the only candles we had. John claims that the "1" stand for #1 Mummy, #1 daughter, #1 sister and last but not least #1 wife! =)

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
