Hudson Tine Ploog

Hudson Tine is here!!!! Yesterday I thought I was kind of having contractions, but they didn't hurt at all? We went to my parents for a big taco lunch at about 12 and my mom asked if I was feeling anything. I was (kinda) but no pain. A week ago I was a 3 so my biggest fear was I would go in and be a 8 and too late for epideral!!! My mom called and her friends were all working so they said have her come in and we will just check her and see how she's doing. I went in at 2:30 and must not have been contractions because I was still a 3:) I had the best nurse ever, my mom's friend Patty, and she said," well do you want to have this baby?" so I got my epideral at about 3:30, started pitocin and delivered sweet Hudson at 5:23! He was 8 pounds 14 oz 20.5 inches and is perfect!!!! He eats like a champ, is a great snuggler and his big bro is his biggest fan already:) SO fun to have a newborn again and can't wait to see little Hudson's personality develop. We are going home tonight to celebrate his bro's birthday!!!

We did Vander's second birthday party at Hullabaloos and it was such a great time. The kids were able to jump, climb, run, go down huge slides, it was perfect. My battery died on my camera like 5 minutes into it, so not a ton of pictures, but we had a great time. We did his party on the 8th even though his birthday isn't until the 17th. I wanted to do it early in case we had the baby.  I saw the dr. on tuesday and he said I was dilated to 3 and was 80 percent effaced. That was Tuesday though and today is Friday and here I am:) He said he didn't think he would see me at my next week appointment so we will see. I feel ready. Every day that he has not come I have gotten a lot done, a lot crossed off of my to do list. With the feeling of everyday maybe being my last before the baby comes I have been super motivated to get stuff done. Now everything is done, we are ready for him to come!!! Vander's birthday is MOnday and Dan thinks he already wants to be like his big bro and is waiting for that day. We will see....
