Knox Robert Bennett

Okay so I know he is 7 weeks already but I promised the birth story so here it is.

I had been having contractions on and off for about 3 weeks which was awful but what can ya do. Then finally on March 19th at about 9pm I got horrible contractions that started 5 minutes apart. So I finished packing my bag and Nick took me to the hospital. Once I got there I was admitted right away. I had to get 4 hours of antibiotics before I could deliver so I decided to get an epidural. Got my epidural tried to sleep for a bit but I was way too anxious so I just lied around while Nick slept lol!! Then at about 5:00am my epidural started to wear off which wasn't fun. My doctor came in to break my water at 6:00am then another doctor came in to top up my epidural. Dr. Mc Cubbin came back in at 6:50 and 4 pushes later Knox was born at exactly 7:00am. He weighed 9lbs 9 oz and was 21 inches long. Nick and I could not believe we had another little boy. My pregnancies were so different that we thought for sure it was going to be a girl but we are so glad to have another little boy in our family. Mommy is definately out numbered now.

Knox is such a good baby !! he has been sleeping atleast 5 hour stretches since he got home from the hospital and is just the most content little boy. Dexter loves his little brother and smothers him all the time. It is a full time job just trying to keep Dex off of him but we have adjusted and things are great.

I still can't believe I am a mother of two!! There is nothing I love more in life than being a mother!! I love both of my little boys so much!! I am going to be one busy momma for the next few years but I am looking forward to it!!

Knox just a few seconds old!!

Our precious little man

I love this picture!!

And I had to post this one. Look how grown up Dex is!!





Dex is 2!!

Well I can't believe my baby is 2!! I am not going to lie I may have cried a little on his birthday because he is growing up way to fast and these last two years have flown by. I also think I am getting anxious for baby number 2 to get here!!

Dex's actual birthday was on the 15th and we just spent it at home with just the 3 of us! We had Dex's favorites for dinner Pizza and milkshakes. He was in heaven. Then we hid his presents around the house and let him go and find them. He got quite a few gifts we spoil him way to much so I guess it is a good thing we are having another baby lol!! After he found and opened all his presents he played with his cars til bedtime and it was a great night.

On the 18th we threw Dex a party with all of Nick's family and it was so much fun!! We went swimming in St.Albert and Dex had a blast with his cousins like he always does. He loves the water. He is such a fish and has no fear at all. His favorite part was probably the waterslides and his dad got pretty tired out from taking him up and down the slides lol! I decided to swim too and I am just glad my water didn't break.. (I am feeling very HUGE these days lol) After swimming we came back to our house and had a spongebob party. I decorated the house and it was a lot of fun.  We had Krabby Patties for supper with lots of yummy finger foods. The kids were in heaven. I also attempted to make Dex a spongebob cake and I think it turned out pretty cute!! After dinner Dex played with his cousins and had tons of fun!! It is always so much fun to get together with family!! There were quite a few missing but we were grateful for the family members that came to celebrate Dex's birthday with us.

Still hard to believe my little man is 2! He is such a big boy and has changed so much!! He is talking a lot more now. Still a lot of gibberish but for the most part I can figure out what he wants. I think he is going to be such a good big brother and I can't wait for the new baby to get here.  I am almost 36 weeks so only a few more weeks to go!! This pregnancy has definitely  flown  by. Anyways I am so grateful for our little man and we love him so much!! I couldn't imagine our lives without him!! We love you Dex!!

spongebob cake!!

I am 2 and crazy lol!!







So Busy...

Life seems to be so crazy right now... These night shifts are killing me but I only have 11 more shifts of work and then I am done!! Which means baby #2 will be here before we know it. I am starting to freak out a little, but ready or not this baby is coming. I can't believe I am going to be a mother of 2 but I am very excited.

Dexter's 2nd birthday is next week and I can't believe it. These last 2 years have flown by and Dex is definitely not a baby anymore. I am frantically trying to get ready for his big bash next week but it's so much more work when you are hugely pregnant lol!! And chasing around my crazy toddler 24/7 doesn't help. Anyways we are doing a spongebob theme this year so I promise to post pictures. Sometimes I wonder where did the time go... I can't wrap my mind around the fact that I have a 2 year old. it actually makes me a little teary. Dexter is so full of energy and is always on the go. Sometimes I get exhausted just looking at him but I love him so much!! He is the most loving and funny little boy I know. I feel so blessed to be his mom and we just love him so much!!

I am also so grateful for my husband. I am seriously the luckiest girl. Nick is such an amazing dad and husband. I am definitely spoiled and I love him to bits. I love watching him and Dex together it just melts my heart. I love my little family so much and can't wait for this little one to get here. The anticipation is killing me to know if this little one is a girl or boy...

33 weeks and couting

He is such a goof!!
