So, I think I had the nurse and the receptionist all freaked out when I was taking these pictures.  They had finally gave me the okay to go home, but I hadn’t got any pictures of him in his hospital gear, so I was trying to take them in a hurry.  I couldn’t get the angle that I wanted, so I stood on the chair and was taking them.  They all started freaking out and was worried that I had just had a baby, and was standing on the furniture taking pictures.  She thought I was going to pass out and they were going to have to admit me to the ER next!  LOL…  I assured them I felt fine and continued along taking my pictures!  

 

 

As anxious as you are to come home while you are at the hospital, I LOVE being there.  I love that life just stops for a few days, and all you have to do is concentrate on this new miracle you have been given.  I love friends and family coming to visit.  I love Dax and I cramming together, sitting on the hospital bed, watching tv just loving our new baby.

 

Coming home!

Cute little Hawkins just waiting to come home.  So he kind of looks like a little thug, but I love it!  I think he looks so cute!

 

The Big Brother and The Big Sister

To say that I was worried about how Ridge would adapt to a new baby is an understatement.  He had a couple months of tantrums, and was basically a little stink most of the time.  The month before we had the baby, he finally got out of his funk and was the sweet kid that we remembered.  I just knew that once the attention was on the baby, the terror would return.  Much to our surprise, he has been PERFECT!  Honestly, the best of Ridge has came out.  He is loving and cute.  Out of the blue he says, ”Mom, I like you.”  and gives me a hug and a kiss.  He talks to his brother in the cutest little baby voice, and rushes to him when he cries.  He tells us that he is not ready to sell his baby brother, and he still will tell you that his name is baby train tracks if you ask him!

Navie loves her baby brother so very much.  She loves to hold him, and I will find her just laying next to his bouncer and talking to him all the time.  I also found her trying to change his diaper all by herself the other day… I insisted on helping, but thought it was so cute that she wanted to try.  Navie thinks it’s great to make dad change all of the poopie diapers.  She couldn’t wait to make him change all of the “black tar” diapers, and trust me I am not complaining.  She really is so so cute with Hawkins and always wants to make sure he is doing all right!
