We have a Nephew!

My sister and Bobby had a baby boy this morning! Benson Robert was born at 5:45am, weighing in at 7lbs, 1 oz and 20 inches long. Andrew and I are so excited to be an Aunt and Uncle for the first time, and we feel very special to be a part of his life! I can't stop opening my phone and looking at the pictures Mollie has sent of him, he looks really cute and we get to meet him tonight on Skype! I'll post pictures as soon as I receive some that I can download.

Andrew and I have been busy trying to prepare ourselves for what my sister and Bobby are going through right now. I feel like our to do list is longer than it should be with about a month left, but we'll get it done! We have yet to take our childbirth classes as our hospital has dropped the ball on the September classes, and we are scrambling to find somewhere else to learn. We may end up just hiring someone to come to our house and personally teach us the ins and outs of everything to come. I just can't believe that in a month we will have our own little baby to take care of!

I haven't posted pictures in awhile, so below are a few of the bump progressions.

Aug 14th - 29 weeks (7 months, 1 week)


Aug 27th - 31 weeks (7 months 3 weeks)


Sept 4th - 32 weeks (8 months)
Excuse my non-cleanliness...this is me after a workout :)


Sept 18th - 34 weeks (8.5 months)


This past weekend Andrew and I took the weekend to get away and went Upstate New York to a B&B. The weather was wonderful and we had a great time walking around some of the small towns and relaxing. This is the last getaway we will have ever just the 2 (and a half) of us! Above and below are pictures of the walkway over the Hudson River (a little over a mile each way).


Since we are down to the wire I will try my best to post more until the baby is born.
We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the end of summer weather! xoxo :)
