Stella's Smile

Stella started smiling last week. I think she actually started the week before but I kept telling myself it wasn't real, plus it wasn't as consistent as it is now.  She's smiling at the ceiling fan of course. I did get her to smile at me but not as consistently as the fan. It's like that damn fan gave birth to her or something.
Again, for the ceiling fan.
We also got her a floor gym and she LOVES it! Darren and I hate the music but it's a small price to pay for a happy baby. It sounds like Jamaican music mixed with old Milli Vanilli instrumentals.  Darren and I keep making jokes that she's going to ask where the swim up bar is.  And of course someone's going to show up at our house and ask if we want our hair braided.

There's also a trippy light show with the music that Stella loves. She is mesmorized by it. Who knew something so simple would captivate her.  The floor gym also gets a lot of smiles.  Mom and Dad, not so much. I guess this is a sign of her teenage years to come when friends win over parents.

Stella, ceiling fans and floor gyms will come and go but you only have one set of parents.

    Oh, she loves you! The fan is only a fleeting crush, a phase every girl has to go through.

    She has a beautiful smile!

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...
