39 weeks, 5 days . . .

My last day of work was Friday . . . and for the first time this will be my second blogger entry in a month! I think it will be best if I have this baby soon or you all may be seeing a lot more of us than you'd thought you'd ever see.

This is my friend Britta Bennion-- Due May 30th. She brought her camera over so we could take prego pictures. Ironically, we ended up kind of matching-- cute!

Well, about Saturday morning I'd had enough "waiting around" so Ben and I went and played tennis for a while. Someday when little boy king is a professional tennis player, he's going to appreciate this picture!

Our newest addition!

No, baby boy King has not yet arrived . . . but we got a pet!

Meet Tiger the turtle (its a girl!)

So, Ben was walking along the golf course, about to approach hole 18 when he looked down and saw the little shell walking beside him. Ironically, I had a pet slider turtle for 5 years and what a better surprise present to bring home to your expecting wife?

She was named Tiger in honor of, well, the golfer of course!

And who says we aren't ready to have a baby . . . 8 1/2 days to go!

Ben's First Baby Shower

Why is it that the dad-to-be never gets a baby shower? Sure, he doesn't have to experience morning sickness, labor, and weight gain, but . . . well, boys like parties and presents too!

So, here is Ben's first, very own baby shower-- thrown by the SICU staff at Buffalo General Hospital-

Okay, so I'm still in the picture . . . but this is Ben's shower and yes, he loved the diaper cake!

The shower was at "The Towne" restaurant

Narda (I hope I spelled her name right) was the mastermind behind the cake and decorations. Everyone was so thoughtful!

Look how excited he looks! After nine months of putting up with my pregnancy symptoms so well, he deserves his own baby shower!

And, only because you have been asking for it . . .

4 Weeks to Go!

Happy Spring . . . Buffalo style!

Where does it all come from? Between Friday night and Saturday we had record breaking snow here in Buffalo-- just in time for spring and daylight savings. Church was cancelled Sunday morning so we spent the day cooking (and eating!), reading, playing Wii, and taking pictures of the snow.

Now, for the updated baby picture. As you can see, he's growing well. 9 1/2 weeks to go! I do have to apologize though for all the "Krystal" pictures. You see, when there's only two of you, one person takes the pictures and then, well, there's me. After watching "Ben and Krystal" home movies, Ben's brother Royce pointed out that we really needed to have kids. Well, we're getting close and then we'll have a new poser. Until then . . .

Happy Valentines Day! We had a ward sweetheart dance which was a blast! Check out some of these party animals . . .
