And a couple more...

Halloween Party

Here are a few of our guests - it really was a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who came by.

Busy Days...Busy Nights

So...it's okay that I'm the worst blogger ever. I've accepted it and moved on. I love going to my friends blogs and seeing how their lives are, so I've decided to be better. I'm knee deep into my PhD program, I have two weeks left teaching this semester, and little Bentley is now 3 months old - my how time flies. Here are a bunch of pictures to show our busy lives these past couple of months - including our fun Halloween Party!!

HOLY CRAP!!!

Okay - so I completely suck at updating on here. Some of you are so great at it and I love going to your sites. I'm just giving you a quick heads up that this weekend I'll put up some pics from our ROCKIN' fun halloween party. Til then.

Busy, busy, busy

So...Bentley will be 4 weeks old this week!! I can't believe it. He is the cutest dang baby in the world. It's amazing how fast the days go by...Bryce is home before I know it every day. On top of having a new baby, I finally got surgery on my hernia last Friday. It's a total pain in the butt not to be able to lift more than 15 pounds. I feel useless...but Bryce has been amazing. I can't wait to work out again; to go running or lift weights or anything!!!! I have been lucky enough to keep off the baby weight but I need to lose another 10 pounds!! I'm lucky to have the job I do so I can spend time at home and still get a paycheck!!! Gotta go.....

HE CAME!!

Hello my fellow friends!! Bentley finally came! He came early - 2 weeks early actually. He was born August 20th at 0443 in the morning. He weighed 6lbs 6oz and was 19inches long. He's beautiful!! He definitely made me work for him. I was in labor for 16 hours and pushed for 2 1/2 and he still didn't want to come without force. He was vacuumed out and lets just say that my episiotomy isn't small! =) However, he is so worth it. I didn't know you could love someone so much! He's perfect - I'm biased but I think it's true!! He's been eating and sleeping well and loving his momma. Here's a picture - so all of you can see my new pride and joy. Bentley Dean Cantwell!!!

Baby is COMING!!

So - here's the update. I am due in exactly 16 days - crazy but true. Everyone is betting that I'll come some time this week because of crazy problems - and a part of me is so ready. I can't wait to hold our little guy and have him be a part of our lives. I am pretty lucky as far as pregnancy goes. I've only gained 15 pounds, I haven't started swelling anywhere yet, but those things don't bother me. My belly is still plenty gigantic - and I have plenty of sleeping problems at night. I would love to sleep for longer than 2 hours in a row - but oh well - just preparing right? I've started having some serious contractions, I'm dilated to a 2 and I'm 80% thinned - that's called getting my hopes up because I know plenty of people that are dilated to a 3 for weeks.....but I'll keep you posted. School starts soon...very, very soon, I have to go back to the office starting Tuesday!! Hope all is well with the rest of you...

I finally learned!!

I learned that you have to delete your whole dang blog when stupid graphics freeze your site. It makes me angry - so we're starting fresh!!!
