His delivery was scheduled for noon, and I had been very nervous the day before. That morning, however, I was more excited than nervous. It was so strange kissing Matthew goodbye and knowing that our family was going to change dramatically in just a few hours. I also knew what to expect, which was both comforting and a little nerve-wracking... the thing I dreaded most was the i.v. because it's killer. Much more so than the spinal in my opinion. And even though the hospital was running behind making Hudson's delivery at 1:15, it all went by pretty fast... before I knew it, Gus was off with Hudson while I was being stitched up. And once again, I laid there thinking how I couldn't wait to do it all again. {on july 6th that little wish will come true!}
And now we have this crazy little two year old that we are nuts about. Here are some fun facts about our "hudsie":
1. he loves his milk and says "milk pwease" on a regular basis.
2. he could swing for days and days.
3. he goes crazy happy anytime we mention a "tweat"... peanut m&ms are his favorite.
4. he LOVES ice {and so does his pregnant mama... we share it often throughout the day}
5. he loves to count "1-2-3-go" before anything fun like jumping on the bed or jumping off his little stool.
6. he can go from sunshiney-happy to cloudy-ticked in a heartbeat!
7. his favorite books at the moment are: bedtime peekaboo & goodnight moon.
8. he loves to wrestle with "mattu", and he's definitely the rougher of the two.
9. he loves to sit on the windowsill in the kitchen to drink his milk in the mornings.
10. one of his phrases we cannot get enough of is "hold you" :)
It's easy for me to go through our days and take Hudson {and Matthew} for granted. With this birthday and us welcoming another addition soon, God is definitely reminding me how undeniably blessed we are to have healthy & happy children. We thank God for our "gifts" and pray that we spend the rest of our lives pointing all three of them in His direction.
