Here I was coming out
of a doctor's office and
decided to pose for a
picture with my big belly |
|
On Nov. 22nd, the day
before the C-Section,
we visited Michelle's
babysitter Irene & Fam. |
|
We have practically
come to adopt Irene's
beautiful family. |
|
Here's Lisa, the oldest
of Irene's daughters
with husband Scott,
and baby Scott Jr. |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
Here's Johnny!!! :)
( Irene's husband ) |
|
Irene, Johnny and younger
daugher Michelle. (Yes,
Irene also has a Michelle ) |
|
Spending the last few
moments with Michelle
before leaving her at
Irene's. |
|
My mom took this
picture. |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
My mom insisted on
taking pictures of the
belly...I was not as
enthusiastic as she
was.
|
|
We left our Michelle at
Irene's. She had fallen
asleep...my little angel. |
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
This is at the Saint
Joseph's Women's
Hospital at 5am on
November 23rd.
|
|
Baby coming out...do
not click to enlarge if
you already feel butterflies
in your stomach.
|
|
Ok...Baby is out!...he
is big and healthy.
Thank Goodness!!! :) |
|
Another pose.
Of couse, the little one
was mad the doctor
took him out. |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
The nurse wrapped him
up good...
|
|
and gave him to me. ( You
can tell I did not feel a
thing! ...at least not then! |
|
I was so happy to see
he was okay.... |
|
and then, he was taken
away for more routine
check ups.... |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
The nurse showed him to
my mom one last time
before taking him away.
|
|
My second little angel... |
|
Finally!...together again.
I am now in the recovery
room. |
|
Mommy and Daddy are
happy and Alex
is getting mommy's
antibodies. The tiny pirahna
latched on in no time at all.. |

This is Carmen, Vanessa's
mom, holding the baby.
|
|
Russ's parents sent
beautiful, big balloons
and flowers as they
confirmed Russ would
not be the last Hawkins.
|
|
I received gorgeous
flowers from Irene,
Dale, and my Pro Tech
Family as well. Thank
You so much guys!!! |
|
I can't emphasize how
special I felt looking at
my flowers every day.
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
Here's Dale, Irene, my
mom Carmen and my
Michelle
|
|
Here's Irene's Michelle,
and her two handsome
boys Brian and Brandon. |
|
Michelle was VERY
excited...not about Alex,
but about the baloons. |
|
Here's my mom Carmen
with the baby. She is such
a happy grandma! :) |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
Some of us were more alert
than others.... :-D
|
|
The house was ready... |
|
Vanessa was and IS
too happy to be able
to move again. |
|
Thanks to Grandma
Carmen, Vanessa
