Amalia's "Big Girl" Room

As much as Amalia loves pink, and believe me she really loves pink, I decided to go with a more neutral room.
I was so nervous she wouldn't like it but she absolutely loves it!!

I think I might love it more though, it is so peaceful, calming and chic.
Good thing I get to hang out with her in there as much as I would like.

We moved her old toys and bookshelf into her closet since she is (let's be honest) still a baby and hasn't outgrown them yet.

I also gave in and am keeping a lot of her toys in the living room, something I swore I would never do, but they are so well hidden you would never know that not even one child lives in this house!

Can't wait to see the professional ones! Waiting for the go ahead It's time!! Everyone ready t...

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...

Beautiful Baby Shower

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 ...
