Mas Decorating



I told you my mom lost it.  She dragged my dad to Hobby Lobby and Target and Babies R Us, where she really appreciates the expectant mommy parking up front (Thank you Babies R Us!!), and got the rest of the stuff she wanted to use to decorate.  I love it!  And my dad was such a trooper about doing everything, especially when my mom was kinda pushy and bossy, like how she can get.  Hee hee.  He loves her anyway, and she knows how lucky she really is.

The Ben Cave

Hi Everybody,

My mom and dad got after it this last weekend, and put all the finishing touches on my nursery.  It's definitely in full working order now. They still have a few things left that will decorate my walls, but it's starting to shape up, and I thought you'd have fun seeing what it looks like, so far.  My mom's completely lost it...she can't stop shopping for fun boy art to go on the walls, so just hold on...more to come.

20 more days til I'm there, so here I come!
See you soon,
Ben



My dad is in total denial about how little I'm going to be at first. 
He thinks my mom shrunk all my outfits,
after washing all my stuff. 
LOL...hilarious!


My dad is crazy about my mom. 
He leaves her these cute notes all over the house.


This is my parents room. They set up my new Pack N Play, bassinet style, for my arrival, and it matches their room perfectly. I hope mommy stops snoring by the time I get there, otherwise me and dad will be sleeping elsewhere.  Just kiddin' mom. 
I know you can't breath right now, so all's forgiven.  Hee hee.

She's hanging in there, and daddy continues to dote on her all day long!

Sonogram Pictures of Me!

Hi everybody!

Wazz UP?  I am livin' La Vida Loca up in this crib.  Hahaha...I don't even know what that means, but it sounds pretty dope to me.  I've heard my mom & dad talking like that before, and then they start laughing like hyenas.  It cracks me up. 

Well, today was the last sonogram my mom is going to have until she & dad see me in person.  Holy cow, 5 more weeks left, so it is officially safe to say they are freaking out.  It's hilarious, because they don't even know what they are doing, but they're trying to act so cool about it.

My mom feels super emotional these days, which her doctor told her is totally normal, but she doesn't quite feel like herself, if ya hear me.  Cuckoo!  ;P  I think a huge part off it is the fact that she's not felt her hands since the beginning of May with that crazy Carpal Tunnel.  It seems to be getting worse, so she's just trying to calmly learn to live her life w/ tingly fingers, hands and parts of her arms until I get there. With the end near, I know she is getting really excited, and both her and dad are getting SUPER sappy about me getting there cuz they want to know what I will look like!  After they saw these sonogram pictures of me, my dads thinks I have my mom's chin. She is not happy about that one, but again, we're rolling with it here, folks!

My dad seems like the coolest guy around.  I'm not kidding, he takes care of my mom's every need and waits on her hand and foot.  He even rubs her back, neck, feet, hands and arms every single day and asks if he can do it, so that my mom doesn't have to beg.  She loves him so much and can't believe her new hubby has been so great with all her late pregnancy issues.  They seem like such a great team already!

OK, so here are the sonogram pictures from today.  I'm super big now - 5 lbs 13 oz's, and I'm in the 70th percentile for my age, so we all feel good about my size so far.  My mom also keeps telling everyone that I'm all taters.  I can't begin to imagine what that means, but they keep talking about it and giggling.  Oh well...I guess I'll figure it out one of these days.  They seem kinda 'off' to me, anyhow, so we'll have to see about these 2 jokers when I get there to assess the situation.

Can't wait to meet you all soon! 
Love,
Ben

This is my profile (left side of my face). 
Can you see my arm above (behind) my head again?
That's me...fist pumping & partying already!

Confirmed 3 times over...I am a boy for SURE!

OK, this one is hard to see, but if you tilt your head to your right (come on...keep tilting til you're almost sideways, with your head resting on your right shoulder kind of),
you will see me facing you, directly. 
You can see my eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth and chin, sort of. 
My parents think I'm so cute already!  I have to say I'd agree.
