Benjamin

Benjamin Thomas Correll was born on Tuesday, July 29 at 8:21 am. He was 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 21.5 inches long. He's very healthy and is adorable, soft and sweet! Billy is welcoming to his new brother, and the transition into a family of four seems to be going smoothly. We feel very blessed!!

Thomas Train

You know who Thomas is, don't you?!

It was a beautiful summer day, and we had a great time meeting Sir Topham Hatt and some of his trains in Snoqualmie. The train ride took us right over the Snoqualmie River.

PS- Happy 33rd Birthday to Aunt Ruthie!! It's gonna be a good year!

Expecting

Yes it's down to the end of the pregnancy, and we're ready and waiting for our second son to arrive. The due date is July 22, which means anytime now! Personally, I don't think he'll be early, (based on my past experience,) but many have predicted he will be... we'll just have to wait and see. And most likely if you read this blog, you will be alerted the birth right away.

We are aware that our lives are about to change forever... and are both nervous and excited about that... but having a son as wonderful as Billy contributes to a general feeling of confidence. Billy seems to be as ready as can be for his brother's birth. He has a baby doll he's been practicing holding, and is fully aware that there's a baby in my tummy- (it's hard to miss!)

We've got the carseat in the car, the hospital bag packed, diapers stocked, and clothes washed... and that means we're ready, right?!!

Warm Thoughts and prayers much appreciated!
