Hudson's 1 Month Check Up

Who doesn't love a boy in a monogrammed shirt???

Hudson was 1 month old on Tuesday. We celebrated with a 1 month well check. It was great to go to the office and see my friends and we were even seen in one of the brand new exam rooms! I am excited about going back to work but still get to enjoy another month at home with my babies.

Hudson has gained a whopping 4 lbs in 4 weeks! If you knew how much he ate, it wouldn't surprise you! He is 10 lbs 5 oz. and 21 inches long. You can definitely tell he is gaining weight. Our pediatrician said that everything looked great. We downloaded the monitor and found that he had not had any apnea or bradycardia and we don't have to wear our monitor anymore! We are going to keep it on at nights for at least another month. Hudson is happy to not wear his monitor either because the leads were irritating his skin. It is a lot easier to carry around a baby without the monitor. Not much has changed in the month other than our growth. His eyelashes have come in and are growing blonde. He is still sleeping 4 hours at a time at night and eats about every 2 to 3 hours during the day. He is an excellent nurser and takes the bottle well from the babysitters. He is such a good baby and we are falling in love with him more everyday!

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day 2009! I tried to get a picture of both kids together in their semi-matching monogrammed outfits. Hannah wouldn't cooperate so we took one with each kid. This may be how we take family pictures for now on.

MHS 10 Year Reunion

This weekend was our 10 year reunion. It is really fun sharing the same reunion with your husband and all of your friends. We had a good time and although I was very hesitant about going (because I am self conscious about just having a baby and carrying some extra baby weight around) we went to most of the events and had a great time. I was disappointed that so few people ended up coming but enjoyed hanging out with our friends who live here and we see all of the time and the few who I don't see as often who did come in.

Friday night events kicked off with the Midland vs. Lee football game. We did not go to the game but had our sitter come over later in the evening so we could go to an after party. We went to a really nice party that had a DJ (who played 90's music!), fajitas catered, a bar, and great people! We stayed out to nearly 1am! Woah! I cannot tell you how long it has been since we have gone out much less stayed out that late! Hannah and Hudson both slept the entire time we were gone with Hudson waking up right before we got home to eat.

Saturday, we went to the park for a picnic lunch with the families. Although it was primarily friends from Midland who have children that are in Hannah's class... it was nice to see the Conder's and the Hill family and their kids who came in from out of town. I also got to enjoy visiting with my sweet friend Katy who I haven't seen since her wedding 2 years ago. We brought both kids (it was cool and I figured since we were outside and there wouldn't be a lot of people there, I could bring Hudson and keep in him in car seat the whole time) and picked up chick-fil-a.

Saturday night, before leaving we put Hannah in the bathtub so we could get ready. I was feeding Hudson and Hannah stood up in the bath tub and grabbed my curling iron that was set on 450 degrees! that was on my vanity. She screamed and cried for over an hour! Thankfully, it didn't even blister but it broke my heart! We left her crying over at Mimi's where she would spend the night and Hudson stayed at home with Angie. We met some friends up at the Hilton Bar before eventually heading out to KD's Bar-b-que for the reunion. We both had a great time visiting with friends and stayed the entire time not getting home again until nearly one. To end the high school reunion weekend. Stuart and I stopped off at Whataburger (pronounced Waterburger... for my non-Texan blog readers) for a late night snack! Ohhh... High school, has it really been 10 years?

Go Dawgs!

Future MHS Cheerleader!

First Day of School

Hannah started Mother's Day Out today! Yay!!! Of course, she cried hysterically once we walked in the door (and it didn't help that I shut her fingers in the door as she was trying to escape!). The entire class of 10 was crying hysterically! However, her precious teachers said that by 9:30, everyone was fine. When I picked her up today, she didn't want to leave!

Pretty Pretty Princess

These very kind friends of my Dad sent Hannah this princess jewelry set for becoming a big sister. Of course, like shoes, we are also very into jewelry right now and especially bracelets! Hannah loves this! and she looks so cute all dressed up! Let "dress up" days begin!
