IT'S A.......

BOY!

Jaxon Jeffery Hawkins

 

                20 weeks

           His cute feet :)

We are beyond excited to officially confirm a little boy is in our future. Jared and I both felt this one was going to be a boy. I guess mother’s instinct was right ;) Most importantly, the anatomy scan could not have gone better and everything is very healthy. He is developing and growing as he should and we are so thankful for that! Also, my placenta previa found in the last ultrasound is completely gone showing the placenta has moved up away from the cervix as it should. Great news!

We can’t believe we are halfway through the pregnancy. Time is flying! I am still loving being pregnant and it has been so much fun planning and picking things out. It was a little overwhelming registering because there is so much to consider, but it was really exciting. We just can’t wait for him to be here! My heart has already changed so much and I am literally obsessed with him ;) I’m already “that mom” wanting to show off his ultrasound pictures lol. I can’t imagine how we are going to feel when we get to see and hold him for the first time. Our hearts are so full and we are so thankful for all the love surrounding Jaxon already.

I am finally starting to feel some kicking going on as of the last week or so and loving it. Jared hasn’t been able to feel anything yet, so we are both anxiously awaiting stronger kicks and consistent movement. His heart rate was beating strong today at 145 and we got to see so many great shots of him. We were able to see his feet and hands for the first time really good. It is amazing doing the ultrasound and seeing his brain, heart, kidneys, spine, abdomen, etc etc. So cool! I know I’m partial, but I just think his little profile is the cutest :)

For those of you that haven’t heard, we are moving to Houston at the end of this month. Work is taking us there and we are really looking forward to the change and everything ahead. It’s a great move professionally, but most important personally for our family. We were down in Houston last weekend and purchased our first home! I am flying back for a day this week to be a part of the design meeting picking out all the final options since it is a new build, which will be fun. We will officially be in Houston the first of April and move into our home in May. We are going to miss everyone here and the friendships we have made!! Lots of changes going on, but everything has been moving along smoothly. We are ready to get to Houston and get everything set up in preparation for the baby in July.

I will start posting more frequently as we have baby showers, the move and more appointments in the near future! There will be lots of pictures to post!

Thank you so much for the continued love and support throughout our pregnancy!! Below are some belly pics over the last couple weeks and shots of Jaxon from our last ultrasound at 16 weeks.

Love,

Anna, Jared and Jaxon :)
