Benjamin 2 Month Photos

I love this little boy so much!  It is amazing how much my life has changed in the last three months. He has already grown so much and is my little social butterfly.  I am so blessed to have my little buddy Benjamin!

Happy 3 Months Benjamin!!!

I can't believe how much this little guy has grown in just three month! Life has definitely been an adventure from day one.  We just love our little Benjamin!

Fabulous February!!! ...just a little late

Oh my goodness! I could not be more grateful for such a wonderful February!  In a sacrament meeting talk given in my ward a brother said "It is not psychologically possible to feel stressed and grateful at the same time."  I loved that thought and decided I would make it my goal to feel more gratitude for each day.  As I have done this, I have found myself to be a much happier content person.  There are so many things I have to be grateful for: a great supportive family, a loving attentive husband, a healthy boy in my tummy, a strong body and most importantly a promise that I will never permanently lose these things if I rely on Christ and keep my covenants.

 Here are just a few pictures to document this happy time in my life.  

Beautiful roses from my wonderful Daddy!!! 

I still got a valentine from my sweet Mommy even though I am far away!

Valentine from my Mom continued 

This is what I got to wake up to Valentine's morning.  I love my Zachie!  

Wonderful hand-me-down decorations from my Mom.
 I just love all the memories they brought back to me.

We climbed to the top of Stone Mountain.  Oh boy I loved being on a mountain again. It made me miss my stellar Utah hiking.

More Stone Mountain...

I was so lucky that Zachie took me to this fancy restaurant!  It was fantastic and fancy! 

He is such a good husband!  What a good sport to sit through the Romeo and Juliette by Atlanta Ballet with me.  I couldn't have asked for a better Valentines Day! 

I still love being out in the woods even though I am pregnant, clumsy and feel much more fragile.  At one point during this particular little nature walk we had to cross a river using rocks. This would have been no problem pre-pregnancy, but it was quite a bit harder to leap from rock to rock with added weight to my tummy and less agility.  Zach, being the great husband he is, crossed the river first trying to be cautious and pretending to have the same limitations I did.  One point in the crossing required him to take a slight jump to get to the next rock.  As he was carefully doing this he slipped and fell in the river.  I have never seen him fall while doing this activity because he is so athletic and sure footed.  It took every pregnant muscle in my abdomen not to pee my pants from laughing. 

Isn't he so handsome?

Alright!!! Cheesecake Factory with a candle for my Birthday!!

I got to skype with my family on my Birthday when we made it back from Atlanta.  I'm so grateful that they still know exactly how to make my day special even though they are far away.

I love sunflowers and I love place settings! Such a perfect birthday gift!  Oh! I don't have a picture of it but I also got a maternity swim suit and a pool pass.  

I am so lucky to have so many generous people surrounding me! Most of this baby stuff was given to me by the sweet ladies in my ward.  Yes...I know I have a lot of work ahead of me for March...
