4 Weeks

So today marks four weeks until our due date. We are so excited to welcome our new little one. Benjamin is getting really excited, I know he is going to do so well with her. I keep asking him what the baby will do and he says "cry". Then I ask what he will do when she cries, and he says "pacifier" "chocolate". Two of his favorite things.
I am doing well, I have been so tired lately and unable to get much sleep, but it is going to be nothing compared with what is coming in a few weeks. I just had an ultrasound and everything is looking more then perfect so we are so happy.
So far I have not done any shopping for her, except this passed week I bought her a christmas dress that I am in love with, I can't wait for her to wear it, it is so cute, it was weird to even buy tights.
We still do not have a name but I think we have narrowed it to four names and then we will decide when we have her. Middle names are still up in the air but we know it will come to us.

August and September Pics

My sleeping baby, he is still so cute, I was supposed to wake him up because he has been sleeping in to long, but he ended up pulling my blanket on him and going back to sleep.

]'Here is Benjamin and his Dad taking pictures of themsleves, Benjamin looks so old.

Here is my little Cheese Eater, he loves cheese.

Lazy Satureday Morning,

as if we needed any more proff that Ben is Steven's son.

September came finally some cool weather, which I am loving, Benjamin got to put on his fall clothes and he looked so cute I had to take a picture.
Here is our little puppy, it is Benjamin's halloween costume, he loves it and gets to wear it every once in a while. When he has it on he needs his back scratched it is really cute.

In August we went Peach picking, here is Ben on a ladder.

Here is Ben and Daddy picking the peaches, I stayed away from the ladder.

Our vacuum reciently had to have the belt replaced Benjamin helped his Dad fix it and since then fixes his vacuum regularly, it is really cute, he is quite the handy man.

As you can see there are not any pictures of me, I have been behind the camera lately, I am getting huge (for me) and we have a little under 8 weeks until d-day, it is coming quickly. Every time I am ready for a picture something comes up and we never get it done, sometime soon I am sure.

Other then that we are doing well and staying busy, Benjamin has been a little sick with a cold, he was running a fever but that has gone away so hopefully we are on the mend. Steven is busy with work as always and just getting more busy. But this Saturday he is not working for the first time in weeks so that is exciting, 6 day work weeks are long weeks. As for me I am making a quilt that I can't to put pictures up when it is done, and trying to keep my two year old happy. Benjamin's favorite day of the week is Wed when we go to the library for wobblers, he loves singing songs. Well I better be going, have a good week.

Where have I been

Life has been so crazy lately that I have not blogged it what seems like forever. First off things are going really well. I am 29 weeks pregnant and am looking forward to 30 weeks. This pregnancy has been fairly easy, and then I hit the third trimester and suddenly things are getting so much more difficult. I remember when I was pregnant with Ben I reached a point where if I dropped something I left it there, nothing was worth bending over for, but with Benjamin here with me I find myself bending to get things when it is the last thing that I want to do, also carry my not so little boy. So needless to say taking care of Benjamin is a bit of a challenge.
Enough about me. Exciting news for Benjamin, he has worked so hard and is potty trained! I am so proud of him. He did such a great job. It took him about 2 weeks to get it and about a month to stop having accidents. I know that accidents are going to happen still but he is so amazing, And has been acccident free for a week! He is so proud of himself, and it makes me so happy for him.
Steven has been working so hard for us, in August he went to houston for his annual meeting and
Benjamin and I went to Cottage Grove for the weekend. Steven of course missed us but Benjamin had a blast he loves playing with other kids and we just don't get to do it often enough. He played so hard everyday that by the time he went to bed he was so tired it took him a total of 2 minutes before he was out. He is going to love being a big brother. He also loved being with Grandma Naegle who gives him so much attention. Anything he wanted she was willing to do with him, even when I was not, he still asks to go to Grandma's house. Infact the other day we saw a car that looks like my mom's Tahoe, Benjamin was positive it was Grandma's and was ready to wait for her. It was not her car and I had to carry him away throwing a hugh fit. He really loves his Grandma.
So sorry about not pictures we have not taken many lately but I do have some I will have to down load them so they are soon to come.

It's a girl!

We found out today that we are having a girl, due Nov. 28th. She looked perfect and possed nicely for her pictures.

Elvis

Benjamin and I got to see Elvis. It was awesome. We saw some other singers but they were nothing compared to the star of the show. I was las vegas night, at the cruise. Steven missed it because he was working but we met some friends at the park and it was great. Here are some of the pictures.

Here is Elvis! As you can see there were a lot of people and we were pretty far back but it was still great.

Here is Benjamin next to a Chevy 55, my mom has a 55, it was my dad's so we had to get a picture, plus this one was orange.


Here is Benjamin running for a touch down.

Wyatt's Wedding

We made a trip up north again this time for my brother's wedding, it was a lot of fun as you can see from my previous post but we also went to a wedding, it was a long good day. Here are some of the pictures.

Here is a picture of the cake that I helped make, while Benjamin and Steven visited his parents. My only real job is to mix the frosting, my mom and sister decorated the whole cake themselves.



This is my friend Ashley, she watched Benjamin during the ceremony. He did such a good job with her, but later at the reception he was not digging it. But there were other men for he share her charm with.

Here is Benjamin and Aunt Autumn before the wedding he liked that she would take him outside while we were at her place.

Here is Benjamin looking so GQ!

Over all it was a beautiful wedding and Wyatt and Tracy looked really happy, and beautiful. I didn't get a picture of them, they had so many photographers that I would have just felt in the way taking a picture.

Benjamin enjoyed all the parties, and loved playing with his cousins. But he was in heaven when everything was over and we were back at G-ma Naegle's house. Grandma took him outside and let him jump on the trampoline, swing in the swing and even let him ride the power wheel. Benjamin was in heaven, and repeatedly asked to go back to grandma's house after we got home. He still says jump and runs to the door, saying gaaaama. But everyone knows the way to Benjamin's heart is to take him outside.

The Children's Museum

We took a trip up tp Portland this past month but I have been so busy I haven't posted so here are some of the pictures. We were going to Portland for my brother's wedding, in doing so my sister bought me a massage so we went up a day early. It was wonderful. We were able to take Benjamin to the Children's museum, he had a good time, it was so much bigger then the one we have here in Medford. He is a shy boy and there were so many people that it took him a while to warm up, but once we were playing in the water he was having a really good time.

Here is Benjamin and Aunt Autumn

Aunt Autumn made sure that Benjamin took time to brush the alligators teeth.

All aboard!
