50% Chance of Showers

Lots of things about pregnancy were not awesome... the ankles, the snoring, the peeing and the lack of wardrobe to name a few. But one thing that is great about pregnancy?! All of the baby showers! I actually had 3 baby showers, but for some reason I only have pictures from 2 of them on this computer. My first shower was thrown by my friends from nursing school. They are so much fun and it was great to get together outside of school!

Guess the baby food...

My second shower was thrown by my mother in law over Thanksgiving weekend. It was so

much fun and we got lots of great gifts for the baby. Unfortunately, I am missing pics from this event. (Just imagine me getting larger by the second eating cinnamon rolls, smiling and opening fantastic gifts from friends and family)

My last shower was supposed to be held on Dec. 27, unfortunately we were still in the hospital with Hudson so we had it last week instead. My sister Cortney and her friend Bree did a great job throwing it together quickly and my Mom was sweet enough to let us have it at her house.

Looks like we are going to need a little time before these pants fit...

Little Lili is a great babysitter...

Thanks to everyone who came to my showers! They were so much fun and we really appreciated all of the things we got for Hudson! He looks fantastic in your outfits, loves to pee in your diapers, smells fantastic from your lotion, and sleeps like a bug in a rug in your blankets. We ♥ you!

Let me apologize in advance for the Hudson overload. I know all of my posts are getting repetitive but our house is "all things Hudson". I should have titled this post "drama queen", because although I have the sweetest baby on the planet (no, really). He has already learned how to work the system. Manipulate if you will.... I say these not so nice things about this little darling because he refuses to lie alone at nights. If we put him in his bassinet there is a fit to rival all fits. He kicks and screams and squeals until he is lifted out and placed next to Landon or I. That fit? It ends instantaneously. I guess I shouldn't be surprised so much at my child's flare for the dramatics, have you met Landon lately? Haha...

Cuddles

So we circumcised the little man today. (Can I say that online?) I guess so.... He was so brave, he hardly cried. I literally shed more tears than he did. Point of this? In the 7 days since we brought this little superhero home I have changed. The thought of Hudson feeling any sort of sadness or pain is unbearable to me. I feel softer and and so full of love you could pop me with a pin. I could (and do) stare at him for hours. Landon and I literally say to each other, "Look! He moved!" Who knew the cliche' statement, "You won't understand until you have one of your own." is legit?! This baby is magic. He turned my entire world upside down.... amazing.
