we got ourselves a baby

we had a baby GIRL on April 29th @ 11:00 p.m. i had a great doctors apt. and ended up in the hospital around 5:00. She is an angel at 7lbs. 6 oz. 20 1/2 in. long. We haven't agreed on a name yet still working on it but we have to have it by the time we leave the hospital. Labor was great i made it to an 8 and than begged for an epidural within 10 min. after getting it she joined our family a total of 5 1/2 hours my best yet! she is so precious and truly know she is a gift. she's already is a joy and so popular with the kids!

the final stretch

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully it comes in clear view friday! I hope i have scrubbed my house for the last time while pregnant today. The doc says he can start me on Friday so i will take it. A May baby will be great i was hoping for April but doctors know best (sometimes) I am just excited that this baby can join our family and stretch all it wants outside of a confined area. i am so anxious to see what it is and hopefully we agree on a name by the time we take it home. I don't think "it" is an appropriate name. The kids are sooooo excited. And as glad as i am to not be pregnant anymore i can't help but feel a little nervous. I have to push this kid out. I think we have all been there (if not keep it to yourself, i fell better thinking im not alone). but all in all i just hope this is a healthy, happy, child and a great delivery!

send your prayers

Eric's cousin had a baby 2 weeks over due and after being in labor all day they ended up doing a c-section. When the baby boy was born he quit breathing for 15 min. He is in critical condition and needs lots of faith and prayers. Heavenly father works miracles in many ways i only hope this is one of them. Baby Paul's parents are amazing and not giving up (as it should be) so if all that read this spread the word and add him to your prayers we all can help this awesome family.

Little Runaway

So i have to share this one. Last week me and Hudson were at the church (a few houses and across the street from us) doing the humanitarian day thing and well he had his little bike just peddling around the gym well a lady left and went to get her kids and said that Hudson wasn't in there anymore. Well i didn't start panicking yet i went around the whole church and opened every door looking for him after every room was empty i started panicking- mind you i am having contractions like crazy already so i am waddling painfully back to the room were the ladies were to ask for help. After a while and still no Hudson we found his bike in the foyer in between the doors so i figured he was outside. Well come to find out that little stinker walked home to the neighbors house to play and took the garage door opener with him. Well the neighbor just thought i was walking extremly slow behind him so she wasn't worried but after 20 minutes she stated to realize i wasn't coming. well it all ended up okay i just hope this summer is not the summer of searching for the little guy every day i might just have a nervous breakdown! Love you Hudson!
