And now introducing our newest member!! 

Isn't she beautiful, sound asleep. 

Tired, drained and out of tears, we are still as happy as can be! We thank God for giving us the strength to get through these wonderful nine months and for giving Carla the extraordinary courage she had! Good job babe!!! 

Carla's mother, a seasoned grandmother, fell in love with this one too! 

Tanna and Nancy our OB Tech and Nurse, who by pure chance, happen to be the best at what they do!!! Thank you two for all that you did for us!!! 

And last but not least, here is the man who helped us through the nine months!! Dr. Hickox was the best doctor we could have wished for for this special event in our life! Thanks Doc!!! 

Tis the season! Happy Holidays everyone! Baby Benton is ready to go!!! 

My sister April and Jennifer, both of whom threw this shower for me. Thanks to my sisters and all of my friends who made this day special, there were too many of you to put all of the pictures on here.. 

Some students that Mrs. Benton taught, Gianna, my neice Kaelyn, Yesenia, Cailynne and Savannah.... 

Me and Tori, a good friend of mine. 

Me and my friend Jessica, whom I've known since high school. 

Three Pregnant buddies: Darice, Me and Cheryl All due within 2 weeks of each other... 

Carla's dad, Phil, made this cradle from scratch for Baby Benton. Doesn't it look awesome? Can you see the palm tree?

Trying to hold back the tears....Thanks for all the hard work dad! 

From left to right, Carla's Mother Lynn, her sister Jennifer, mommy-to-be,daddy-to-be, who is holding Cousin-to-be Kaelyn and next to her is her mother April. 

Grandma Donahue, Ryan's Mother and Of Course the beautiful Carla. Hmmm...Something looks a little off here.... 

Ok, so we were lucky enough to be the very first patient ever that Dr. Hicox performed a 3-D ultrasound on! Aren't we lucky! Test subject Carla was very patient...The following baby mugshots are now on file at the police department...just in case... 

This looks a little wierd because the baby's face is actually smashed against the uterus....Dont worry, no matter what happens it won't look like daddy.....whewww..... 

The baby's posing already..... 

Look alike? 

What beary cool shower my cousin Toni put on! Thank you Toe Knee!!! 

Baby Benton's grandma made these cute booties, sweaters and caps, but they didn't quite fit me....we can't wait to see our baby in these!
