Let's see, since December a lot of things have happened! In January, Jimmy and I celebrated our one year anniversary of being married! It's crazy to think that a year has already gone by, but we will be celebrating four years of being together in September.
In March Andrew finally got his first hair cut!!! He was apprehensive and really did not like it when they cut around his ears, just like his daddy! April 1st I had my baby shower and then April 9th I went into labor...which is kind of a funny story.
The morning of April 9th I woke up and wasn't quite sure if I was going into labor or not (I was induced with Andrew so I wasn't sure what to look for). This may sound gross, but I went to the bathroom and had more fluid than usually coming out and I wasn't quite sure if it was the mucous plug or not. So I called my boss and the teacher I work with and told them that I wasn't quite sure what was happening and that I may not be in that day. So after struggling on figuring out if I should go to the hospital and get checked or not, around 9 we finally went in and good thing I did! We sat in the room from 10 until about 2:30 or 3 (I think). The nurse kept coming in and asking if I felt anything because I was at a 5 or 6 and was in no pain. When I first came in for the labor check I was at a 4 and then slowly started dilating more. The nurse finally decided to contact my doctor to see what she wanted to do and she told them to admit me. So after passing the news on to everyone else we got settled into the labor and delivery room and my doctor came in to break my water. She broke my water started pitocin and the contractions started getting worse and I could feel them a whole lot more. I requested to get the epidural and then it was easy going after that. Before we knew it, it was time for me to push and Bentley James Bink finally arrived at 4:59 pm on April 9th, 2012.
It's taken a while to get used to having two little boys to take care of and I often times think I'm crazy but everyone assures me that it will be worth it in the end as I'm sure it will be. I also think I'm crazy sometimes because I'm still in school and still trying to finish my degree, be a full time mom, full time wife and work 40 hrs a week at a job I wouldn't trade for anything, but then I think...nope this is just the life I always wanted as a young mom :)
