Bath Time

Here are some pictures from a recent bath. Kailyn is less than thrilled about bathing at this time. She looks so cute with her hippo towel!

Pictures of Kailyn and Ryleigh on June 9th

Ryleigh heard Kailyn crying and thought she would bring her kong over to share with her. It was a nice thought of her to try to share her toy.

Pushing her kong toward Kailyn.

I tried to get her to look at the camera but she found something else more interesting to look at on the couch.

Sleeping, my favorite activity.

We are adjusting to having our sweet girl as apart of our family. She is getting ready to turn 1 month old on Friday. The time is going by so quickly. She is doing good and is growing. She is sleeping 3 hours at a time at night so I am getting some sleep. We like to sleep in to make up for some rest for mom. Brad finishes up with school tommorrow so we look forward to having him around.

Our Baby!

Kailyn Elizabeth Bensen has arrived! 5lbs, 14oz at 1:51 am. Alycia is doing great, as is baby. Doctors wanted to induce as they thought the baby was measuring small-- but they were wrong as proved when she arrived. Quick labor and 2 happy parents!

Trip to the Mountains

Chimney Rock

Hiking in April with snow along the trail. I could not help but throw a snowball!

Brad looking out at the view!

Proof that I made it to the top pregnant! 33 weeks at the time.

Lake Lure behind me.

It was a great trip to Asheville, we were able to get away before the baby comes. It was refreshing to get away for a few days.

Trip to Richmond, VA

Dena at her shower opening her gifts.

Here is the Chargers onesie and blanket that we got for our nephew. A picture was taken of Dena and I together but I think she has it so I will have to get her to send it to me.

Last Saturday, we packed up the car and headed to Richmond, VA to visit Brad's side of the family. I got to go with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to her baby shower. It was a great time together. We got to spend some time with Brad's mom and taking her out to eat.

Our First Baby Shower!

Here I am with the bouncy seat and booster seat that we received from a group of friends in our Sunday School class.

A very cute outfit, you can't see them here but there are little ears on the hood.

Here are from, left to right, Laura L and Taylor, Bianca, and Laura H

Here are, from left to right, Jillian, Debbie and Wendy. We also see the back of Sarah C head.

Here is a cute giraffe that winds up and plays music.

We are very thankful for our friends in our Sunday School, I was blessed to spend some time with several of the ladies in our class as they showered me with words of wisdom and gifts for the baby. We appreciate all of the beautiful gifts and words of wisdom that I will take with me as we begin a new season in our life.

This Week so far!

We had a great snow day on Monday. Ryleigh was running circles in the backyard in the snow. She was loving it. Brad and I came out later and played with her and walked down the the gas station to get a newspaper. She would have stayed out in it all day! On Tuesday I had another OB check up. Everything went well and baby Bensen is continuing to grow, no ultrasound this time but will get one on our next visit in two weeks. I am at 28 weeks and counting. We are working on the nursery slowly but surely. That evening we went to our first Preparing for childbirth class at Rex. Brad said he has already learned alot and hope it will prepare us with what to expect on our big day. I need to get some pics of my belly up soon!
