Say Hello to Benjamin Maxwell - Our Newest Addition

It's been 5 weeks since our little man graced us with his presence.  And I have to say, it feels like he's been with us so much longer than that.

Benjamin Maxwell Muir was born on May 27th, 2015 at 9:33 am, only 3 days after his scheduled due date.  He is the cutest, most amazing little guy and we are so happy he's joined us.

Now, I just have to figure out a makeup routine that I can perform one handed, since Ben LOVES being held all the time.  HA

    

Where I've Been This Past Week - In Pictures

All I wanted to do this past week was sit down, relax and write some amazing blog posts.  Instead, I've been tired.....so tired.

And working on our Little Man's room (with Allan, of course, who's been doing all the heavy lifting).

Check this out.

This beautiful work of art was made for little Benjamin by one of my best friends and his "Aunt".  Thank you Auntie Bronwen.

His new crib, pilled high with all the clothes I need to wash for him.

Our new-to-us glider chair.

A bookshelf with too few books and tons of elephants.

My dad's dresser, from when he was a little boy, repainted white.

Not everything is completely ready but we are getting there.  We still have 9 weeks to finish!!

So Many Things to Tell You All.....

This past year has been one of the best for me.  

Not only did my husband and I get to backpack Southeast Asia for 3 months BUT we are now expecting a baby.  Yes, friends, I am 13 weeks pregnant!

I'm scared, excited, exhausted, ecstatic and overwhelmed all at the same time.  However, you will also notice that I haven't posted a pic of myself yet....and there are a few reasons for this: One, I feel big, already; two, my skin is rather bad and three, I have JUST begun to feel less nauseous so not quite ready for the camera.  However, I am on the mend and will post as soon as I "pop".

My other news is that I am now selling an amazing makeup brand called Younique.  Now, I will not be bombarding the blog with info about the brand BUT will say that Younique has the best mascara and eye liner I have EVER used and you all know I have tried a lot of these products.  If you do have some time, and are looking for some new products, check out my site and do some shopping.  You will not regret it.

So, you have now been filled in to the exciting things in my life.  Can't wait to see what the next few months will bring!
