Baby update

Well, there really isn't much to update. We had a sonogram today. I am officailly 16 weeks and 5 days. We were not able to find out what we are having--bummer! Dave and I knew the chances weren't very good. My dr. said they don't really look very hard until my 20 week sono, but we were still hoping. I guess we will have to wait a while longer. I wish I had a scanner because we got some really good pictures. We even got a pic. of baby A sucking his/her thumb. It is amazing to me that I have these two little people growing inside of me. It is such a miracle! I am still feeling really good. My doctor told me I am about the size of someone (carrying a single) who is 21 weeks pregnant. If that gives you any idea??? I haven't taken any pictures. I don't really know why we haven't done that. I guess time has just gotten away from me. I will have to get better....Anyway, I will post again when we have more news.

That's interesting how they compare you and your size/growth to someone carrying a single baby. It helps comprehend the effects of carrying 2. What a sweet little thumb sucker....did they get a picture of it?

We love our sweet little thumb sucker (Major). Thumb suckers are such good babies!

Bummer that you didn't find out yet, but I'm glad that everything seems to be going well.

Maybe I should bring my camera to church? We need a group picture...and soon!

We need to get together!!! Sounds like there is a lot to catch up on and a lot for me to lecture you on!!!! You better not be stressing over that job. I know, I know, it is easier said than done, but your body takes on a lot of that stress before you even realize it. (Obviously, that is just what I think, but that is how I feel like I deal with stress. By the time I really notice I'm stressed, it is out of control.) Anyway, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for you and I can't wait for the shower!!!! We need to get to planning, sister!

Benjamin at 6 months

Ben is such a joy!  He is such a sweet, loving, cuddly, happy baby!  Ben loves taking a bath.  He will splash and splash and splash in the tub for as long as I will let him.  We haven't started giving him any food yet.  I can just picture the huge messes ahead and figure if I can put it off a little while longer, why not?  I know, by the looks of him you would think he eats us out of house and home!  He is a big guy and we love kissing on and squeezing every sweet soft roll!

November

As I was looking for pictures to quickly update about November, I realized I don't have many.  Here is Ben trying to eat the stem of a pumpkin.  He had to squish his face down against the pumpkin because the stem was so short, but he was determined to bite it.  Repeatedly! Gracelyn and Ellie had their first program ever and I missed it.  Yep, I deserve mother of the year.  I was at home with Ben and just forgot.  If you know me, you know I cried.  It was a sad day.  And I can't find a decent video to copy from anyone.  The short clips I do have are really far away and all I can really see is that it was absolutely precious.  I still can't believe I missed it! We drove to Atlanta for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with Dave's parents! Everyone was exhausted on the way home!  It was a LOOOONG drive home!  I did almost all of the driving and drove through the night so we could get home for Dave to work ...

Just because...

It was a nice day today so we went in the front yard and played for a little while.  The girls had fun running up and down the sidewalk while Ben just bounced away in his bouncy seat.  Love watching these precious babies grow up!! Gracelyn Ellie Benjamin
