It's a BOY!



Monday November 12th, 2012

 
Aaron and I walked to the hospital for a scheduled induction...
 
after being strapped to a moniter for hours...
and being hooked up to an IV...
and playing Battleship (Aaron won)...
 

 
turns out the baby was not fond of contractions
(I wasn't minding them so much yet)
so...
here I am being told
"you need an emergency c-section"
 
it was like a movie...

 
with an awesome ending...
 
we got to meet
Benjamin James Pipkin!
 
 Here's the proud (and handsome in those scrubs, no?!) Daddy with his boy

 
sweet Benji kisses
 
Check out all that hair!

 
Benji isn't so sure about us here...

but he sure loved looking at Grammy!


After our first night in the hospital Benji got to meet
Big Brother Isaac!
 
Isaac is so sweet with him - gentle, curious, and good at giving cuddles and kisses

 
Benji is such a snuggly baby, a good eater and sleeper, and pretty darn precious!

 
Here's our new and improved family!

Halloween-ween


Isaac was a zookeeper for Halloween...
and he had a blast at the HUGE Halloween party on base:

 
His favorite part was playing with this big balloon:


Daddy and Isaac made a Thomas the Tank Engine Pumpkin:
 
On Halloween day we went to Hesketh Farm Park
and our little zookeeper got to see some real animals:


It was too cold for trick-or-treating but he did get a cupcake
and the best part was shaking on the sprinkles!
 
Our Pumpkin hasn't appeared yet and we're anxiously awaiting his/her arrival!
