Brothers

Everyone has been wondering how Bennett is handling being a big brother. I think he is doing wonderfully. He is very curious about Brayden. He often looks at him and then just grins. He also will give Brayden lots of kisses, which just melts my heart!!! Bennett doesn't understand why I can't pick him up which is hard for me (I had a c-section and can't lift anything heavier than Brayden for 6 weeks!). Thanks for all of the prayers, visits, messages, flowers, and meals; we have great friends and family!

Brayden has arrived!

We started induction on Saturday morning at 7am. Started out great, was having strong contractions on Pitocin and I didn't even hurt really. I eventually got the epidural because I assumed pain would start eventually considering I was on the highest dose at that point. Well after a while I stopped making progress despite really good contractions. They thought the baby may just be too big. Around 11pm they decided a c-section was going to be our best option. So we went ahead with that. Brayden was born at 11:19pm weighing 8lbs 7oz and 20inches long. And he has a head full of long black hair! We love him and cant wait to be home with both of our boys. Bennett is not quite sure what is going on yet but I am sure he will love it too.

Maternity Pictures

We got the chance to have maternity pictures taken and here are a few of the favorites that we got. Audrey Anderson Photography took the pictures. We also got news that we are going to start induction on Saturday so we should have baby Brayden in our arms this weekend!

38 weeks

Bennett getting hair done for 1st time

We have been having issues with Bennett's hair in the back...it was kind of wild. It wouldn't curl in the back of his head; it stuck straight out. Well my "Little" sis from BBBS's mom said she would help! YAY! We thought is may need to be braided for a few days but turns out it just needed to be picked out really good because it was knotted in the back where it was sticking out straight. Mr. Bennett HATED this. I am sure it hurt the poor guy :( Mommy is trying to do better at his hair now! It is much curlier in the back now. Thanks Theresa.

Too cute

Bennett is getting so cute I just had to post some recent pictures :)

37 weeks and counting

Well we have reached 37 weeks. Today we are actually 37weeks and 5 days along! We went for a ultrasound today and a check up. He is measuring 8lbs 1 oz according to the ultrasound (which we know can be off). He looks good. Looks like he has my nose and Brian's lips and cheeks, we will see. I am progressing in the pregnancy. She said if I have not went into labor before next weeks appointment we will discuss induction :) YAY. We may have a baby in a week or so! It is getting so close. Thanks for all the prayers!

Huber's Farm

We got to take Bennett to Huber's farm to pick our pumpkins this year. I have always wanted to take my kids here to get pumpkins like we did when I was a kid. It was lots of fun. I think it was against the rules of "moderate bedrest" but I took it easy. Bennett was more interested in the vines and weeds then actually picking his pumpkin but he enjoyed it. Here are some pictures from the first family tradition of pumpkin picking!
