Saturday Number 5

Today you had a few firsts. You had a real bath in your whale bathtub that Aunt Sissa gave you. You loved it and we were really happy. (I also think you loved it because of the fun wash cloth Aunt Sissa also gave you that we could drape over you to keep you warm) Maybe this means you will like to swim too! You laid there and let us pour water over you and we listened to Michael Jackson while we bathed you. Maybe you love Michael Jackson and not baths....I guess we'll find out later.

We took you to Atlanta Bread for lunch after your bath and you slept the whole time (as usual). We will be sad when this time ends but it will be fun when you're awake more too.

Later on in the evening we decided to be brave and take you to the grocery store for the first time. We tag teamed it by taking the stroller. Daddy pushed you up and down the aisles while I got groceries. At one point I was on one end of the store while Daddy was on the other just strolling you through the aisles. We've learned you love constant motion. We met up in the whole foods section, grabbed the last of the groceries and then checked out. I mentally high fived Daddy as we left. We did it!

Of course now we are home and you won't go to sleep because you are overtired.  With every victory there is a small defeat. We'll figure this out together. :-)

Your Nana and Papa Chicho arrive tomorrow and we are so excited for them to meet you. They are moving here from L. A. in July. Yep, they are moving across the country just for you baby girl.

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up.  We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small!  Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar.  I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny.  So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

To Stella

I thought it would be fun to write a letter to you before I met you. We could read it together later and laugh about how clueless I was about you! Dear Stella, It's Christmas 2011 and I honestly haven't thought at all about the holiday this year.  All I can think about is March, when I get to meet you for the first time.  Your Dad and I went to the hospital this week to check out where you would be born! I thought for sure going to the hospital would make me anxious but instead it made me incredibly excited. What a gift it is to bring someone into the world and because of you I get to experience that.  You have no idea how much you were prayed for, wanted, hoped for, for so many years. I always knew I wanted to be a mother, even back in high school when I worked in a toy store and joked about getting my tubes tied. :-) But, when I found out about YOU I couldn't have been happier.  I remember standing in the bathroom completely convinced that I had willed ...

2012 Highlights

So I'm obviously abandoning my attempt to try to capture every Saturday in Stella's life. I now realize that's impossible. Plus, not everything in the world happens on a Saturday. It's the fun/sad/crazy moments that are the ones you want to remember right? (by sad I mean "my baby's growing up" sniff sniff)  And those usually happen on a random Tuesday or something. So I'm going to attempt in this last post of the year (and some of you may be saying "your only post this year", no I had like 7 okay...ha ha) to remember the BEST moments of my life in 2012. You may want to go pee, eat something and bring a drink back, this sucker's going to be long. Our House January 1st we moved into our house. I love our house. It is seriously a fairytale house and neighborhood where I want my babies to grow up. I have a nightmare once a month that involves us moving, I usually wake up very sad. Odd, yes. Apparently you know you're old when you...
