Celebrating our very own....Dancing Queen Today!

Yep you guessed it we have our very own
dancing queen in this family.
Joyce, You are the dancing queen,
young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen!
Happy Birthday Dancing Queen! We love you and hope you have a great day!



3rd Trimester - Baby Beasley

Busy Baby Beasley is growing right along...we have reached our 3rd and final trimester!!! I think this one might be the real kicker. I am 28 weeks and can already tell a huge difference in my body. Sleeping is now a luxury which happens on the rare occasion I can find a spot to get comfy. Ashley came to town this weekend and brought me this wonder pillow that fits perfectly to my body and has been helpful but lately when I get out of bed I come back to find someone else hugged up to it. :) Jason and Luke are trying to be real troopers with all my tossing in turning. I am sure I annoy them about 100 times a night but they don't complain (thank goodness).


Here is an updated picture at 28 weeks.


I had my 28 week appointment yesterday along with my sugar test and passed with flying colors! The doctors took another look at Baby Beasley because I don't feel a lot of movement and all was good. Mom went with me and got to see Baby Beasley for the first time. They assured me in time I would feel all the punches and kicks like everyone else. Baby Beasley has moved but is still breech. I start my 2 week appointments now so we will have many more updates on progress.

Babies, Babies, Babies

We have BIG news....Baby Beasley is getting a cousin! We could not be happier. Jennifer & Larry are expecting a sweet little bundle of joy due September 16th. Jennifer came to town this weekend with 12 week ultrasound pictures and Baby Marchant looks perfect! I tell you what soon-to-be grands Joyce and Andy are going to be BUSY this year!! :)

Cheers to babies....Jennifer 12 weeks / Caroline 28 weeks!

A Construction Zone

Baby Beasleys room is now under construction. Thursday evening our carpet came in nicely bound and delivered. We are so thankful to our soon to be grands Joyce & Andy for cushioning our feet for when we start our many nightly walks in, out, and around in there.

Friday...Mom, Emily, and I headed off to Charlotte to do some baby shopping. We spead out of Hartsville early, well as early as Benson girls can get off. It was nice to have a little girl time and have mom and Emily there to help me weed out things. We kicked off our adventure with the Tot Trade in Concord. It was a small let down since we don't actually have a baby yet and most it was clothes. So we moved on to Ikea. Mom's new heaven. :) We spent hours there in amazement at how much stuff one store can have. We were able to purchase a crib for moms house so that was a success! We dined late after a day on our feet and then rested up for a new day of shopping.

Saturday...the journey for the dresser got serious. We found a store in Charlotte that had just what we needed, however we (mom and I) were not as ready as we thought. Emily on the other hand was ready to sign, seal, and deliver. :) I got the information I needed and came home to re-measure, re-think, and re-do about all my thoughts before realizing that was the best thing for Baby Beasley.

So today it's Monday and I have called back and ordered the dresser. Yippee!!! It should arrive in 6 to 8 weeks. Cross your fingers for six so I don't have a late pregnancy break down waiting on it. It was a great weekend. Baby Beasley, Jason and I are very lucky to be loved so much.
