25 Weeks!

Hi baby Hudson :) - 99% sure this is your name!! I really don't know what my hang-up is about declaring a name for you but I feel really hesitant.... even though I feel really sure about this name.... Hudson Elway Morgan. And if by some chance John Elway goes crazy and kills his family, your middle name will be changed to Elliot or something cute like that :)

We have been very busy working on the house for the last week (DeeDee/JoJo, Pops,and Mommy on the weekends and Daddy during the week at nights.) We are still on target to move in the 30th but I feel like we will be right on the line. I can't wait to get in there!!! I'm ready to have the washer and dryer and your furniture set up so I can organize, fold and refold your clothes. You actually have several piles thanks to Aunt Rachel and a few good sales at Martin's :)

This week, you are growing.... fat precious baby cheeks. For the rest of the pregnancy, you will be "filling out" and becoming more baby and less of a wrinkly little thing. Your hair is growing and developing more texture and color. You are around the size of a rutabaga but you feel like you are getting heavier by the day. I have to be careful about my posture or my back hurts. I feel you every day but you are still shy and won't always let Daddy or anyone else feel you. I get a little freaked out if it's too long between kicks... but you soon remind me that you're ok and then so am I.

I always knew I would love you. I always hoped I would love being pregnant... and I do. I was a little scared at first that I would have unnecessary complications because of my weight. So far, I have been very blessed with an amazingly smooth and comfortable pregnancy. I am beyond overwhelmed that God has blessed me with you, Hudson, and I refuse to take one minute, one "symptom", one ache, or one second of discomfort for granted.

I can't wait to meet you... but take your time! We will get to see your face on the 4D ultrasound on May 4th!!!
