A Proper Introduction

Looking back through my posts, it has mainly been about Jaxon, and I noticed that I hadn't properly introduced Huxley, so here is a little bit about my new little man :)

Huxley Edward Quinn Hartney, was born on Janurary 3, 2012 at 8:29am, by C-Section. The section was planned so no surprises, however I was quite sick and fainted right before I was supposed to go into the operating room. I honestly don't remember much, I remember the Doctor asking me if I wanted to see my baby and I said yes, but I don't remember actually doing so.

Huxley's name came to me before I was pregnant with him, and when a girlfriend had posted the name on Facebook as a potential for her little boy, it stuck with me. I facebooked her to ask if she was going to use Huxley and she said no so it was meant to be. Edward is Scott's grandfather's name as well as one of his middle names, and Quinn is my youngest brother Caleb's middle name. So both of our boys have one of my brother's names and both of Scott's grandfather's names, which are also both of Scott's middle names-ugh mouthfull! They both have good family names.

Huxley was 53cm long and weighed 7.9lbs, bigger than Jaxon is both ways but so thin, whereas Jaxon was built like a tank from day one! Huxley has fair skin, and hair and bright blue eyes, whereas Jaxon has dark hair and eyes. They don't really look alike, but do, if that makes sense. When he was born he had trouble reaching normal temperature so for the first day he was wrapped up tight and placed on a heating bed, by the next morning he had reached 36, but he still gets cold really fast and doesn't like it, he likes to be warm, wrapped up in blankets.


He is now three months old and he has the biggest smile, it lights up his whole face, he is super strong always wanting to stand, and has been sitting in the bumbo for about a month now. He sleeps through the night-amen! Loves the water just like his brother, and can eat. He really has added so much to our family, in a time that was quite dark and for that I am so greatful.facebook.com

Easter



Today Jaxon, Huxley, Scott, Mum, Auntie Lisen and I made our way to Memorial Park, for Jaxon's first Easter Egg hunt. Jaxon got his egg that was dropped from a bucket truck and we made our way to get our prize, however it didn't work like that! Although a little confusing at the beginining we were soon told that our eggs helped put us in different line ups for crafts and then they would be calling the numbers on the eggs later for a prize. So Jaxon painted a bag for craft, and looked for eggs in the hay, he found one all by himself! We then made our way to the stage to get our prize but our number didn't get called, so we made our way to the park and played for a little bit. As we were about to go home, we noticed people lining up and exchanging their eggs for candy, so we filled our bag with candy and headed home. Huxley was all smiles but Jaxon was pooped and fell asleep in the wagon. Good first egg hunt!
