32 Weeks!

Hey Hudson!

We are 32 weeks this week. You are HUGE and I can feel you all over the place. We got your chair and ottoman this week! I will take a picture after the slip covers are washed and dried. Our friend Robin is on bedrest with her pregnancy right now. Her husband, Daddy's friend, is on deployment with the Navy. I hate it for Robin... and Brian, because I know he wants to be home with her. Her situation makes me feel very unprepared. If I were to be on bedrest right now, I wouldn't have anything done. I don't have a bag packed for you or me for the hospital. You don't have a car seat, mattress, or any supplies but a few diapers and wipes. Our shower is July 10 so I know that stuff is coming soon and that's the only thing that keeps me from going out and buying it all right now. I feel like I'm nesting but there's no sticks. I keep reminding myself... there will be sticks and lots of them soon enough. There are babies born every single day with SO much less than what you already have. You are such a blessing to me and our family.

Love,
Mommy

20 Weeks!

We are half-way today baby!! Your daddy and I got to spend the day together shopping and running errands to prepare for you. Originally, I had the day off so that we could close on our house but that didn't happen as planned. We will be closing on the 24th instead. I'm so glad we got to spend the whole day together. These days are so precious to me as we prepare for you to change our lives forever. We talk a lot about what your name will be and we both try very hard to consider each other's choices carefully.... but... we are two very different people and that makes it pretty hard to agree on something so very huge. We've pretty much decided that I'll pick your first name and your daddy will pick your middle name.

I am feeling you move a lot more and I LOVE IT!! I can't wait till your daddy and everyone else can feel you too! I haven't remembered to bring the ultrasound pictures home from work to scan them and post them. I will try to do that tomorrow. Sometimes I feel like you are eating my brain. I can't remember the simplest things lately!! During the ultrasound, they said you probably weighed in around 11 ounces! That's huge. You're probably the size of a small cantaloupe.

We found the perfect chair for
your nursery at Pottery Barn Kids

We've been discussing the design of your nursery a lot too. We've narrowed down to two options.

1. Neutral walls with blue and green argyle bedding...

2. Blue and green walls (maybe polka dots, stripes or even diamonds) and white bedding with blue/green piping.

This is your furniture.

Now just to buy the house to put all of this stuff in and start decorating!!!!!
