The last 6 Weeks

Okay, I'm obviously no good at keeping this updated, but I have good reason. Mr. Benjamin Alexander Bastron, aka Mr. Serious has been keeping us busy to say the least. Oh, we love him so. As so many have said before of their own children, I can't imagine life without him. What a love bug!

I'm ready, but he's not

It's officially our due date, but no sign of Ben yet. Just lots of waiting on this little man. I look more pleased in the picture than I really am, but I'm trying to be patience. Lots of food and cut throat pitch played this long holiday weekend. Come out soon Ben, we're ready! My belly can't handle anymore.

The Nursery is ready

Well, I have to say, I'm pretty happy with the way that everything turned out. Ben's room is done!!! Thanks James, Tori & Mom!



Of course I could obsess over some imperfections (I hate the cheap press board built ins and bad dry walling), but I need to save my energy for what lies ahead very soon! Any day now according to the doctor. Will we have a turkey baby? This pop up timer is out. I think I've been a good sport until this past Thursday when just about everything has become uncomfortable. I never realized how much the average person bends down in one day until recently. Next pregnancy I'm getting one of these tools. My belly will thank me.

So lucky!

Another great shower hosted by my sister Tori and good friend Liz! Here are some of the photos to recap the event. Plus, I was very lucky to have Tori on some much needed sewing projects. Hoping the new window coverings next to the front door curtail Willie's barking.

13 days until the supposed "go-time!"

Fun with the ladies

Thanks to my mom's wonderful friends, I had a great shower this last weekend. And the weekend before with some great ladies from my street. I can't thank everyone enough for their generosity and participation in these baby parties! I love this photo of James' grandma Inez and I, although I can't remember (shocking) what exactly was so funny at the moment this was taken.

What will Benjamin look like?

Most fun I've had on a Saturday morning in awhile. I love this app!
From top to bottom, it shows what he'll look like if he's most likely like his mother, then his father, then a combo of both.

32 week profile

Baby B appears to be doing great and things seem to be progressing well in my ever expanding belly. The countdown begins and LOTS to be done before we meet this little guy.
