One Month Old!

Can't believe the twins are now one month old. It has been a whirlwind month and I think I only remember 25% of it. :) I have enjoyed the precious moments of the last month though and can't wait until they are awake a little more and sleeping a little more at night! I wish I could say it's been easy but it's been challenging to say the least. I wouldn't change a thing though. I am learning slowly how to balance motherhood of three. and loving every minute.

Couldn't get Eli to sit up like his sister. :)

Eliott Mitchell

My three lovies. So proud to call them mine. Allie is so excited to be a big sister after so many months of talking about the babies.

Big Life Changes

For those of you who still check this you probably already know we had our babies. and since life has been a bit busy I am just getting to this post 3 weeks late. Although life has been crazy I wouldn't change anything. I am so in love with our new additions. I have a ton of pictures too but for now I will post a few and if you are my facebook friend look there for more.

The babies are now 3 1/2 weeks old and are doing great. They are both gaining weight but Samantha seems to like her food a bit more then Eli and is now almost a pound bigger. As for me I am getting a bit more sleep thanks so my amazing husband and awesome family. Thanks to everyone who brought us meals, folded laundry and did our dishes. I owe you!


Here I am the day after Easter at 36 weeks pregnant. My water broke that afternoon and surprised us all.

Samantha Rose was born at 2:58am. She was 5.4 lbs, 18 3/4 in.

Eliott (Eli) Mitchell was born at 3:04am. He was 5.7 lbs, 18 3/4 in.


Big sister Allie came for a visit later that day.

Holding a baby for the first time.

Leaving for home


Finally home with "The Big Benz Family" as we are now calling it. Allie is loving having them home. She gets so excited and asks where her babies are when she wakes up. We are all still adjusting but slowing each day gets a bit better.
