Mitchell invasion

Born
Mitchell Ryan Hawkins was born February 27, 2015 weighing 8lbs 1oz. Exactly what I weighed! 

I ended up with a c section because this little guy was breech but I must say it was not bad at all! I'm glad I was in shape because the hardest part was walking the first time. I 100% believe I divine intervention and I think I was supposed to be in great shape to ready myself for this activity. My arms and legs are making up for my abs and I'm once again in awe of my body. 

Stella 
To make Stella feel special we had a birthday party for Mitch in the hospital and Mitch brought Stella a gift (a Minnie Mouse look and find book and a Minnie dress up set). We also had a cupcake cake. Stella was thrilled. (Mission accomplished!!)
Grandparents
What would I do without my parents and my inlaws. I am truly blessed to have so much support and love not only for Darren and me but especially for our babies. Seeing the grandparents with our second child was just as thrilling as when they met Stella. 

One Week
I feel so blessed that Mitch has been such a good eater! At this point Stella and I were still struggling to figure out the nursing thing. He has gained his birth weight back and I'm guessing maybe another ounce. Grow Mitch grow! We are still in newborn clothes and ended up going to Target yesterday to pick up a few more onesies. I forgot how my kids live in onesies when they are first born. It's so easy for changing diapers and  changing outfits when someone pees on their back. (A boy thing that I never had with Stella). 

My kids look nothing alike! Lol! Stella is all Darren and Mitch is all me. 


Baptized
Yesterday I was baptized by Mitch for the first time. Just my hand but wow he's got good range! 😜

All in all we are doing it and I'm cautiously optimistic about our 4 pack. 

Stella is so in love with her brother. She asked to hold him yesterday and she kept saying "he's softly" and "look at his tiny ears". 
Darren and I have been tag team parenting. I can't pick up anything heavier than Mitch so he's had Stella. Last night I realized he's literally only held Mitch a handful of times! What?!? So I had him hold his son and every time he spoke Mitch tried to turn around and look at him. I have a feeling these two are going to be close. My heart is so full.

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...
