Hello, world! It’s been entirely too long since my last post! Frankly, I’m a little embarrassed, but we’ve had a lot going on. 
In March of this year, we welcomed our sweet baby boy, William “Bennett” Babb, into the world. He came out with a head full of dark brown hair and dark eyes just like his sister. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to tell their baby pictures apart!
We’re calling him “Bennett” (my maiden name) to honor my dad who passed away July 2009. Bennett definitely has my dad’s face shape; I hope that he also grows up to have the same kind spirit, tenacity, godly character and integrity that my dad had. We’ll be sure to teach him all about his Didaddy - Bennett would have loved him so much. (and vice versa!)
Outside of a few rough weeks of reflux, he’s been a pure delight. He’s nursing well, napping well, and (almost) sleeping through the night! He loves to coo at momma and already laughs at his crazy big sister. Now, if we could only get him to tolerate the car. (Oh, those dreadful car rides!)
I’ve been taking this precious time to love on my little ones as much as possible, as I am going back to work the week after next. As most working moms can relate, I am both thrilled and heartbroken. It will be tough and I will probably cry the entire way (that’s an hour and a half commute!) to work for the first few weeks, but we will make it work as best as we can. I have an incredible network of family and friends watching my little ones while I’m away. I could not be more confident with their care.
In this economy, I am thankful for a job and we really need it to help replenish the losses we’ve taken the last few years. Plus, it’s a fabulous place to work and I love the people and atmosphere. It will be nice to have a little “adult time”, but I will deeply miss the time with my little ones. Praying God’s grace and protection on them while I’m away.
Anyway, hopefully it won’t be so stinkin’ long ’til my next post. Thanks to all of you for reading!
