Baby boy Hawkes #2 has arrived. He was born on February 5th, which was also Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday this year! Our day started at the hospital at around 8:00am. They started me on the pit drip and gradually increased the amount until I was ready to push at 2:45pm. Eli was delivered in two pushes!! There was a short moment of panic for me when they told me he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. They cut the cord and suctioned his airway. A huge relief came when I heard his sweet new baby cry.
Eli weighed 8 lbs and is 19 inches in length. When Marsh and I got our first good look at him, be both said the he looks a lot like Cohen. So, I guess we have a brand. :)
Cohen is so excited to have a baby brother. He loves to give him kisses all over his face and forehead. Since we have been home, Cohen wakes up in the morning and immediately starts asking to see his, "mya-bebe."

He is so cute and I'm glad you put up pictures! I'm sure Cohen will make a splendid big brother! Let me know if you need anything...since I'm just up the road :)
I LOVE this last picture of Cowen and Eli! It is sooo cute! That is so fun that he has a little brother. That is going to be so great for Cowen. I still can't believe it only took 2 pushes to get Eli out! He's such a cutie!
Get feeling better and a fast recovery!
