nana and grandma

both nana and grandma were at the hospital to meet hudson.

the funny thing is they were not there at the same time and these two pictures were taken of them looking at hudson.

nana.

grandma.

same side of the bed, same posture, same expression...pure joy and excitement!

the lineup.

grandma and grandpa's grandkids from oldest to youngest.

Gabriella Rae, 4

Kainoa Ray, 3

Jacob Hampton, 2

Khole McKenna, 5 weeks

Hudson Haude, 2 weeks (when the pic. was taken)

due date.

our computer wasn't working yesterday, or any of this week for that matter, or the week before, but whose keeping track...

anyway.

yesterday was my due date!

with all three of my babies i have had them long before my due dates and everytime i reach my due date it is always a weird feeling because we are well on our way with our new lives and then the actual due date comes and it makes me think how weird it would be without our new addition already in our family.

hudson is such a joy.

check out that belly! he is a healthy eater!

i took these the other day just because he is so precious.

no other reason really. they make me smile.

i have been sick these last couple of days with a terrible cough.

having a cough and healing from a c-section do NOT go together!

it is very painful and my incision has even started hurting again...which i'm sure is not a good thing.

i called my doctor today and had to leave a message and they never called me back so i guess they are not worried.

in other news we are about ready to start our cloth diapering journey!

i'm very excited!

i will do a full post on that when we get started.

i decided i would wait until the meconium stage was done and then also until he was all healed from his circumcision.

we have about 10 more newborn diapers and we will be on our way.

another first for us that i am excited to experience.

1st bath.

Hudson got his first bath last week and boy did he love it!

it seems like we had to wait forever to give him his first bath, but first we had to wait for his umbilical cord to come off and then he got circumcised and we had to wait a week after that before he could have a bath, so it was finally time.

he basically slept and sucked his thumb the whole time.

he loves the water already...that's my boy. he will definitely be a swimmer.

jacob took some video and let each of the kids hold the video camera too, so they both loved watching him take his first bath!

when we gave him his second bath gabi asked if we could video tape him again...it was very cute that she wants to get all of his baths on video.

after his bath i rubbed lotion on him and he was loving it! he smelled so sweet and i just loved holding him while he warmed up.

it is so exciting to experience all of the firsts again.

meeting hudson

gabriella and jake are so much in love with hudson it's not even funny.

they ask for him first thing when they wake up and give him kisses all day long.
it is very precious to see how much they are excited and loving toward him.

we are all in LOVE!
