3rd Trimester

I cannot believe I am already in my 3rd trimester. Time really does fly. I can remember going to the doctor at 8 weeks and thinking that 28 weeks seemed forever away. Well, here it is! Where does the time go? I am sure all the veteran moms out there are thinking, "wait til you have the kid, then it really will fly by". Things have been great in the Benton household. We got to go to Oneonta to visit my family for the 4th of July holiday weekend, and it was great. We played in the lake most of the weekend--which makes me miss being close to water! It was so nice to be with my family, I feel like I don't get to see them much, so I really treasure the time I get to spend with them. Then, on Monday I had another special treat. My mom's aunt Eloise and her two cousins Honey and Beth, and Honey's son Lyle's girlfriend Alex came to see me. They took the official tour of the Benton house, and then we went to eat lunch. It was so nice to see them too. What a great family filled weekend!!

This weekend I am headed to a bridal shower for Carley in Columbus, should be fun to see more family (Bryan's). And, next weekend....drum roll please.....we are having our first baby shower!! My great friend Kara and my awesome cousin Jennifer are throwing me a shower here in Memphis. I can't wait to see everyone and catch up, and get great things for Martin. Hope everyone is doing great!
