Hudson Brock is two months old!!!

Can you believe it!! Hudson is already two months old!! =( My baby is growing up sooo fast! I was talking to someone the other day and and I swear when I had two months left in my pregnancy it went by so slow!!

Hudson is such a good baby! He only cries when he's hungry or has a dirty diaper. It's so cute, he gets his left leg going, kicking it! He brings it up to his belly and then brings and down and kicks! The more he gets frustrated, the faster he does it! Also he can see the bottle, so I show it to him, and he stops crying, but then he starts kicking faster!! Soo cute!! Todd said it's probably the leg that was kicking me in the ribs for so long!!! LOL

He's already growing out of some of his 0-3 month clothes!! Well most of the tags say they're for 24inches, well he was 23 1/2 when he was born!!! He still looks long and skinny though, but he's starting to chunk up a bit! =) We go on Monday for his two month shots! =***( So not looking forward to that!

But he's starting to do new things everyday! Since I'm a papparazzi, I am constantly having a camera in my face, Hudson has started smiling when he sees the camera!!! I really can't believe it! He smiles all the time, and has started to laugh! We say HiiiiIIIIII to him all drawn out, and he coos back at us and smiles! Also, he has a bouncy seat, that has things you can pull down on and it will sing, well he grab it today!! He didn't pull it, but he fell asleep with the ring in his hand!! Too cute!!

However, he thinks he's going to suck his thumb! He starts by putting his whole hand in his mouth then finally it ends with only the thumb! It is really cute, however, I can't take away a thumb, I can take away a paci!

Well I know this is a lot of rambling, but just wanted to Post about my Bubbaroo! I'll post some more pics too!! =) These are his two month pics!

Hudson's Baths!

Well I haven't posted in a while, but, wanted to post some of his pics of his baths. He had his first bath in his bath tub on August 1st! Well he did not like it very well! He was screaming the whole time, so I didn't want him to go through it again, so I just sponge bathed him until I tried it again. The baby tub that I got is a clean flow tub. You have a continuous flow of water that goes in, and the dirty water goes out, and there's a thermometer on the tub, that lets you know the water is safe. Well in the bath tub(that was the 1st time), the water was flowing too fast so it did not work that well. So the second time I decided to do it in the kitchen sink! Well you can actually keep the flow of the water really slow so it works a lot better! Well I was scared to try it again, but he liked it!! He was just sitting there in the water, having fun!!!! But as soon as he got out of the water, he didn't like it at all!! =( Well here are the pics!

The second bath can you tell the difference?!?

He might end up being a boxer! He thinks he's pretty tough!

Hudson's newborn pics!!!

Well FINALLY after 9 whole months of taking pictures of everyone elses babies I got to take Hudson's pictures!!! I changed his outfit 3 times, and changed a poopy diaper, AND did diaper shots! He was awesome, he was awake and alert the whole time! And never cried! I was so excited, that he did such a great job! He seriously was the best newborn baby I've ever took pics of, and he was my own baby!!! I told Todd, you cannot rush me or tell me to hurry today, because I've been looking forward to this for so long! LOL!! We were there for 2 1/2 hours!! LOL!! So I finally got them posted on here!!

Hudson's Delivery!!

Well, I was supposed to be induced on Sat at 9 am, however, he decided he wanted to come on his own!! I started getting pretty bad contractions, about 5 minutes apart lasting a minute to a minute a half apart. I was tearing my hair out and crying, so I finally called the doc and they called me back, knowing I was in pain, they told me to come on in. I got there and got checked about 3 am, and was 3 cm. I got to my room, and got my iv started (they didn't tell me that was going to hurt!), and actually got my epidural at 4:20! I was checked again at 5:30 and was at 4-5cm, then around 6:30 I was feeling a lot of pressure in my bottom, so the nurse checked me and I was already at 7-8cm, 20 min later my water broke! I felt a lot pressure and a lot of pain, so they told me to hit my epidural button again, well it was not working!!! They checked me at 7am and i was already at 10! So I had to start pushing at 7:15, and omg it hurt!!!! Well he came out at 8am! Hudson Brock Gilliatt was 9.05lbs and 23 1/2 inches long!! He's a big big baby!!! =) I got really sick (throwing up and really dizzy) after I had him and was nauseous through the whole pushing. Which I kept saying I couldn't do it anymore! and just get him out! I really didn't think I could do it anymore!!
I was really dizzy for a long time, but I guess I lost a lot of blood during the delivery. When I came in my hemoglobin levels were an 11, which 12-13 is normal. Well it went all the way down to a 6.3, which is really low. Well I couldn't get out of bed without almost falling over, I was dizzy just sitting in the bed. I finally was so bad they had to give me a blood transfusion! They gave me two units of blood and brought my #'s back up to a 7.7 which is still pretty low, however now I have to take iron pills for 3 months! But I'm feeling a lot better now, however since I couldn't move from my bed for 2 days I have a lot of swelling, hurt to walk because of my ankles were really swollen.
However my baby boy is soooo adorable, cute, handsome,and just a good baby!!! However he pees a lot!!!!!!! He keeps soaking through his diaper, and his clothes!

Being induced!!! Hudson Brock is on his way!

Well it's official!!! I'm being induced tomorrow, July 19th, 2008 at 9 am!! I'm soo excited!! There are so many feelings involved right now, excited, nervous, terrified, ready, scared, happy!!! I just keep thinking about it, and I'm just so restless right now! I start something, but have to stop, because my mind is going a mile a minute! I'm really ready to be unpregnant right now, it's just been a very long 9 months!

I was supposed to have my doctor's appointment yesterday, however they called and told me they had to cancel it, because there was a power outage! I was not very happy, because the Doc said he was going to induce this weekend, so I really didn't think they were going to be able to see me today, to schedule my induction!! Well I woke up at 7:45 today(and I set my alarm for 8!), and tried to call, well I finally got through about 8:15, and they didn't call back until 9:30! Well since I was I'm so far along in my pregnancy they said they would get me in today( you bet that were! LOL), at 10:30. So we get there, and he checks everything, and he's like well do you still want to come in this weekend and have the baby! I"M LIKE YES!!!!!!!! YIPPIEEE!! I couldn't stop smiling, becasue I really didn't think it was going to happen!! So they called the hospital and scheduled it for 9 am tomorrow, but I have to call at 8 am to make sure there aren't to many people delivering and push it back(they better not!). It's going to be so hard to sleep tonight, hopefully I'll get some in, because I did get up at 7:45! But I did get to sleep a little late on my bday! Which I guess was my last for a very very long time!

Well yesterday for my birthday we went to Ryan's for dinner (yummmmy!!) (Thanks mom and dad!), and visited with some family members! Then when we got done, we went to the Gamestop in Franklin, because the had a Wii Fit! Which is what I wanted for my bday and that's what Todd wanted to get me! Well we set it up when we got home, and my Mii blew up! LOL I'm not obese so that's good! You have a goal weight to set and a certain time period to do it, I was like hmm how bout 10 lbs in 2 weeks! LOL Todd said that was cheating, because I'm getting ready to have the baby! Hey good confident booster! Well we played a little bit of it, my balance is soooo way off, 9 month pg woman trying to do it, not so hot! Todd had fun doing it! (He said he doesn't like these games, but I know he does!)

Well the next time I post I'm going to be a Mommy! That just sounds so unreal! I'm so excited and nervous, I just want to be the best Mom I can be for Hudson! I know I will, and I know that I'll have a lot of help from my mom, sis, family and friends! Just the unknown is what is the scary part is! I know you learn from experience, and I'm sure there will be a lot of experiences I'm going to endure, and I can not wait for the journey to begin!!

My art Projects! =)

Well I decided I was going to start being a little crafty, and well make Todd do some stuff as well! =) I bought letters that spell out Hudson for his room, and I decided I to paint them blue and white! Well I didn't realize how much detail were to these letters! And they took me forever!!! I also bought some canvases for Todd to draw sport designs on, because he can actually draw!! Well much better than I ever could!! We decided we're going to have Hudson's room be sports theme! Once I have him we're going paint one wall of his room, as a baseball diamond, and make it a Chicago Cubs wall! I got these cute 3 1/2 feet wire baseball and football guys, that we're going to hang on the wall! The other wall is going to be an Indianapolis Colts wall! YAY! Well I have all the letters done! YIPPIE! However Todd has three of the sports drawn out, and one half way painted! I have quite a few more that I want done, however, who knows when they'll get done! Hopefully soon! I'm going to try and post some of the pictures on here and show you what we did! Hope you like them!! =)
