Events of Week 12

This past week was quite busy for Baby Hawes. Baby Hawes had their first time traveling in an airplane to Minneapolis for a Red Cross Conference. Traveling was quite interesting, but for the most part people were very helpful switching seats to make us more comfortable and we even met some wonderful people who shared their own baby stories. It was 35 degrees below zero in Minneapolis, but being a super yooper and northern WI baby the weather was quite bareable. We sure missed daddy while we were gone and got him a special present from the Build a Bear store at the Rainforest Cafe which will more than likely end up in Baby Hawes's nursery.

When we got back Wednesday night we had to head to work first thing Thursday for a big blood drive at the Burn's Park elementary school where all my students (4th and 5th graders) are in the midst of compiling a list of names they think we should name Baby Hawes. Last time I heard one of the kids saying they loved the name Elvis....I'm a little scared...Bless their hearts!

Saturday, we went house hunting and then we all went to the UM Red Cross Club Red Ribbon Advocacy Event promoting HIV/AIDS awareness. The event was a great success and we had a great time (we even won some silent auction items).

Finally, it is Sunday and well mommy is boycotting the Superbowl and only watching for the commercials. (She's still a little bitter about the Packer/Giants game.) It was a lonnnnnnnnng week and we really haven't had much of a chance to rest. Hopefully, this week will be a little quiter and we can catch up on some much needed sleep. This week will be week 13 and we'll be jumping into the 2nd trimester! We're very excited!

Stay tuned for more information!
