August 14th, 2009 – 36 Weeks and 2 Days Along…

Dear Baby Benjamin… The end is near…can you feel it? We are very anxiously waiting your arrival, even though from past experience, we doubt you’ll be here much before September 9th 🙂  I can’t believe in just a few short weeks you’ll be here for me to hold in my arms! It is very surreal. […]

July 6th, 2009 – 30 ½ Weeks Along

Dear Baby Benjamin, This weekend and last has been busy, busy! I’ve been working non-stop in your and Brighton’s room putting up shelving, rearranging the furniture, and organizing things so that the two of you can comfortably share that room. It’s been fun (I happen to like doing those sorts of things), but exhausting nonetheless. […]

June 17th, 2009 – 28 Weeks Along

Dear Baby Benjamin, Holy smokes…we just hit our 3rd trimester! You are about 14-15 inches long now, and weigh about 2 ¼ pounds. It’s crazy to me that you’re that big already! Your brother used to ball himself up underneath my ribs, but not you. You like to spread your 15 inches all out and […]

June 5th, 2009 – 26 ½ Weeks Along

Dear Baby Benjamin, Oh my goodness, guess who’s a little over 26 weeks now?….We are! Boy, we are just moving right along. I can’t believe that you’ll be here in just 14 short weeks…so crazy. So, this week I’m reading a book on Hypnobirthing. It’s all about relaxation and bringing a calm baby into a […]

May 11th, 2009 – 22 ½ Weeks Along

Dear Baby Benjamin, Today we had some issues 😉 I was sitting at work, minding my own business, when I started having some pretty strong contractions. Since you were moving around just fine in there, I gave it a couple hours to subside, but finally had to call the doctor. They wouldn’t see me since […]

April 30th, 2009 – 21 Weeks Along

Dear Baby…Benjamin! Your daddy and I went to the doctor today for our “big” 21 week ultrasound and saw without a shadow of a doubt that you are a BOY! We are beyond excited! We think it’s going to be great having two wonderful little boys running around the house and getting into things 😉 […]

April 13th, 2009 – 18 weeks along

Dear Baby, My, oh, my…you are just growing by leaps and bounds in there! As of today, I am 18 weeks and 5 days along, and feeling great. Other than a little bit of sciatic pain, everything is going very well! This past weekend was Easter weekend, and your brother, Daddy, and I had a […]

March 19th, 2009 – 15 weeks along

Dear Baby, Wow you are really moving around a lot in there. Tonight I felt you in two different places at one time, like you were bouncing from end to end! You are only about 4 inches long (I’m 15 weeks along), so don’t know how you were doing all that, but it’s great! Love, […]

March 2nd, 2009 – 13 weeks along

Dear Baby, I had another OB appointment today and I got to hear your heartbeat for the very first time! It was incredible! So very strong and fast – around 160. I am so happy that this pregnancy is progressing just as my first did. So far, we’ve had no complications and other than being […]

February 18th, 2009 – 11 weeks along

Dear Baby, I felt you kick today! I’m only 11 weeks along, and with Brighton (since I didn’t really know what to look for) I was 19 weeks along before I felt him kick, I was sooooo very excited to feel you moving around in there! It is so great, and I can’t wait to […]
