30 Week Appointment

We went to the doctor for my 30 week checkup today with Bennett and everything looks great! His heartbeat was a strong 140 bpm and the Doctor thinks he weighs around 3.5 lbs! Big Boy! I still can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! I guess with moving, the holidays, taking care of Arrington, and Arrington's 1st Birthday there hasn't been much down time. And, I would NOT change that!

 While we were there today and talking with Dr. Read, I kinda got sad thinking that this might be my last pregnancy. Call me crazy, but I really don't mind being preggo. I love the feeling of knowing that I am growing a little life in my belly that is so much a part of Ben and I. I also love feeling all the kicks, jabs, and movements. I could just lay down, watch, and feel my belly move all around for hours. Don't get me wrong, the first trimester and a little of the second was not fun. That constant hungover feeling can get to ya. Overall though, pregnancy is amazing and such a blessing from Him above! I can't wait to see the love and interaction between our two babies! We love our little Bennett so much and can't wait to smother him with sweet baby kisses and gentle cuddles!

30 Weeks and 5 days Preggers!

 Arrington already LOVES her baby brother!
 This is my FAVE! I can't wait for her to meet him!

I was riding in the car the other day with my Dad and Mom and this song came on by Brad Paisley. My Dad said that it reminded him so much of Ben, and him becoming a Father to our baby boy. We absolutely love the lyrics and each time it gets us thinking all about our baby boy. We can't wait to hold him in our arms in just a short 9 weeks! 

I remember saying I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm ok
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said "You see that thing right there well you know what that means"

And I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me
He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast
End up every summer wearing something in a cast
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
He's gonna get in trouble oh he's gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me

I can see him right now knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass trying to melt a Tonka truck
Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on
That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along
He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
And heaven help him if he's anything like me

He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass
He's gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week
He's gonna get in trouble we're gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me

He's gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day
He's gonna hug his momma, he's gonna shake my hand
He's gonna act like he cant wait to leave
But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out
If he's anything like me there's worse folks to be like
Aw he'll be alright if he's anything like me
