We are excited to announce that our baby boy was finally born. He came to us on January 28 at 11:55p.m. He weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces. He is a great baby and we are all loving having him with us. We named him Korver Dade Hawkins. We are planning on blessing him the first sunday in March for any that can come.
I'm really bad at blogging lately but I thought I would give a quick update. We are still busy working on our house and after a few sinks get hooked up we are pretty much ready to move the rest of our stuff in. Hopefully this will be soon. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little boy. I had an appointment yesterday and am dilated to a 2 and around 70% effaced also my doctor tried some things to see if we could get things going so still hoping on that one I have started having more regular contractions which since last night have been about 7 minutes apart. Hopefully it will happen soon. If not it sounds like they will start me next week, guess my babies just like to be difficult about coming out. Anyway we'll keep you updated and hopefully our next post can be pictures of our new addition.
Tonight was our ward party which was a lot of fun. Except being too big to get down the skinny rows and Taysen running away on me down the skinny rows so I couldn't catch him. Taysen was very excited to see Santa Claus and said he was going to tell him he wanted a big hammer, a drill, and a present. The line was long and we were second to last, but we finally made it up there and he was so excited to sit on his lap. I thought santa could have weighed a little more, but other than that it was great haha. We also spent earlier in the day helping Papa make his famous chocolates which was a lot of fun. So I will get Florida up but for now I will try to keep you up on our fun holiday happenings right now. Enjoy!
I know it is Christmas but as you all remember my computer was broken at Halloween time, so here are the pictures now to catch you up on the fun we had. Come back again I'll try to get you updated with our trip to Florida as well. Enjoy Taysen is the Elephant and cousin Eastyn is the Monkey.
We are still alive! I know I am slow at blogging lately, but I have good reason the day of my birthday our computer got a nasty virus and has been out of commission. So with the help of John we are finally up and running again. Since our last post we did have Taysen be an elephant for Halloween and he had a lot of fun trick or treating. I will post pictures soon I promise. Then we headed off to Florida for a little family vacation and once again pictures are coming soon. We had a great time in the warm weather and now we are back to school and work and trying to finish up the house. Taysen is finally walking normal again and the baby seems to be doing great.
Okay so last Tuesday while I was getting ready Taysen was taking a bath. And like he always does when he decides he is done he just hops right out. He got out and stepped onto the rug and then onto the floor and I told him to get back on the rug while I stood up to grab his towel. Well he actually listened to me and went to step back onto the rug but slipped to the side and started crying more than he ever does. So after finally getting him calmed down a little and getting some clothes on him he would scream everytime I touched his leg. So I tried to stand him up on it and he would just bawl and say his leg hurt. I was a little worried what he had done but I didn't want to be one of those crazy moms that takes their kid to the doctor everytime they get a scratch so I decided to wait a little bit and see if it got any better. After about an hour he still wouldn't put any weight on it and so I called Tim to come home and see what he thought. We decided to wait a little longer and if nothing changed then we'd take him into the Urgent Care. Well nothing changed so it was off to the doctor. At first it seemed like it might be in his knee but they decided to do some x-rays to see if anything was broken. Nope! Couldn't see anything so they said if he didn't start walking within a day or two to take him to a Orthopedic Surgeon. By Thursday nothing was changing and so we made an appointment. The doctor looked at it and this time it seemed to be his lower leg that was causing the pain. He decided it was best to cast it and that should help whether it is a break or a sprain. We go back on Thursday for more x=rays and fun to see how he is doing, but don't worry he isn't letting it get him down it only slowed him down for a few hours and then he figured out how to get everything he normally does. He has now even figured out how to do a gimpy little walk with it on and calls it his red bandaid. Crazy Times!
We had a great conference weekend at Papa's cabin. Tim's family was all able to come and the kids enjoyed running all over and playing pool. Last Christmas the kids all got fishing outfits and so we decided to get a picture of them all together in them. They didn't all want to hold still but some of them turned out pretty well. We had a great time! Thanks Mom and Dad Hawkins!!
