40 WEEKS...and still waiting!

Yes, we're still pregnant. BJ and I were so excited for May 1st to get here. Well, it came and went and no baby. I think we were so anxious that when Ben decided it wasn't time, we were both a little disappointed. We have had people calling from all over wondering if we've had him yet. It feels good that our friends and family are thinking about us. Especially since most of you live so far away.
Both of us have been so busy trying to get stuff squared away at work before we go on leave. I'm taking at least 6 weeks off and BJ will be around for most of that time as well. We are very lucky to be in the jobs we are now. Both are very understanding and flexible.
FULL HOUSE is going to be an understatement on Memorial Weekend and we can't wait. My dad and sisters and their families are coming to visit for the weekend. It's going to be similar to Christmas at Dad's, except the kids will all be sleeping in tents. It's going to be so much fun. This will be the first Memorial Weekend I've had off in 5 years. The perks of working in a state park. I'm really looking forward to it. It will the first time they will all get to meet Little Benjamin too. :)
We are actually going to have lots of company over the next month or two. BJ's sister, Nicole is planning on driving down here right after Ben's born. Then I'm sure Mema (BJ's mom) will be heading this way soon after. Austin (BJ's nephew) and his friend Bret will be here the first week in June, which will be fun. And Dale and Merry, BJ's dad and mom are moving to Arkansas in the middle of May. They'll be in NW Arkansas, which is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to visit. Only 5 hour drive versus 10-11 hours. Been trying to get all of our families to visit since we moved here. Ben's not even here yet and he's doing a better job than we did. :)

Patiently waiting soon-to-be parents
