They're Baaack

Darren had a business trip Tuesday through Thursday so my parents came in town to keep me company.  The thought of being in my house for 3 days and 2 nights without any other adult interaction was quite scary to me. I was thinking a cross between "I am Legend" and "Cast Away".

My parents got here on Tuesday evening bringing dinner of course. They loved seeing how much Stella had changed. My Dad loves this little girl. He's amazing with her. I kind of think Stella looks like a monkey in this picture. Sorry Stella, it's true.

This is one of my favorite shots, a little blurry but so cute. You can also see Stella's amazing old man comb over look she's currently kickin'.
My parents also made me leave the house on Wednesday for a couple of hours to do whatever I wanted to. I ended up at BabiesRUS...shocker. It was kind of fun being out but it felt weird too. While I was out painting the town red my parents went out on the deck and sat in the shade with bug.
I am so fortunate to have these two girls in my life. My mom is amazing and Stella is pretty cool too. I am learning so much from them both.

My Dad even got a picture of Stella and I together.



In other news, Stella discovered another baby in our house. She is completely in love with her. Actually it's just Stella in a mirror but she doesn't know that.


Also, I am a horrible person and didn't mention where my header picture came from. Jennifer LeMay took this stunning picture when she came to visit Stella a few weeks ago. That's right, she just snapped it! Jennifer is an amazing photographer and baker (her cupcakes are amazing). Jennifer please come take more pictures! As you can see I have no eye for this!

And now I leave you with a video. Stella watching the ceiling fan. Yep, this is the video of the next president of the United States.

    Adorable. I was wondering about your header photo - it is really gorgeous. I love reading your blog and remembering those times - the first time you leave the house without the baby seems so foreign, doesn't it? And inevitably, you end up doing baby things! Love you!

    This is so sweet. Time is going too fast. SLOW DOWN STELLA. She is so beautiful Emily! And yay for your parents. Being by yourself can feel really lonely sometimes.

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...
