Birthday Bash!

Tomorrow is Matthew's 29th birthday! We are going Oak Grove to spend time with his family. Grilled hamburgers and homemade icecream! Yum! Well, atleast the icecream part anyway! I haven't been able to eat a hamburger since the first trimester of my pregnancy! They still make me sick to my stomach! We will see if I can overcome that tomorrow!
Anyway, Hudson Wade is wearing his Dodger's t-shirt for his daddy's birthday. We got Matt a pair of boots for his present. He needed some for the winter around here and also for the snow! We are going snow skiing with my family this winter and he doesn't have any boots for the snow! So, that's what Hudson Wade and I got him for his birthday! They are called Bogs! Supposed to be a really good brand!




Tomorrow we will be in OG all day. And, optimistically I am only bringing two bottles! The rest of the time I plan to breastfeed! I hope it works out okay! Lol! I know others probably won't like it very much that they can't feed him but I am really trying my hardest to nurse and give him breastmilk as much as possible! I just know that it is the best thing for him and I want to try to keep I going as long as I can! He has been doing wonderfully nursing and I hope that he does tomorrow too! The only thing I have concerns about is producing enough milk for the whole day. Today I ran out and had to give him formula. That's why I am bringing two bottles tomorrow.. For a safety net!
We will see how it goes!
Btw! Happy Friday!

Special Times and Special People

This weekend was sooo busy! I was in a wedding Saturday so all day Friday and Saturday were full of my matron of honor duties!! It was exhausting!
Here's a pic of my sis and I while waiting for the ceremony to begin. She was a bridesmaid too! A gorgeous one!!!






Saturday ended the Encounter Weekend for Shockwave youth in which a few special people were in town for. It was so nice to visit and see faces that I hardly ever get to see anymore. It was almost like a Shockwave reunion. Makes me miss those days even more! And Hudson Wade was so fun to show off! Of course everyone says that he is the spitting image of his daddy! Although, I'm beginning to see more of myself in him! Regardless, my baby is soo cute! And he loves church!

Here's a pic of him playing on his mat.

Ordinary Day

Today was pretty ordinary. I TRIED to sleep in with my baby but he refused! We got up and he was extra fussy all morning until we got in the car to leave. I had to take care of some stuff at school and he fell right to sleep just as I started to drive! He usually does!
We got home and took a SHORT nap before daddy came home.. SHORT! Lol.. Like.. Probably ten minutes!
Anyway, i go to the dr tmrw for my postpardum check up and I am reeaaalllyyyy hoping for a green light to start working out again. Right now I am only allowed to walk and I have been doing that faithfully everyday! Usually with Hudson Wade in his stroller but today I went without him while his daddy watched him.
I took some pics today while Matthew and I spent time admiring our sweet little baby boy. Nothing special... Just some face shots! He's such a cutie!

Easter Sunday and Openning Day!

Yesterday was Hudson Wade's first holiday, first Easter, and first time to church in our new worship center! He was such a cutie!!!



Today was the first Dodgers game of the season. I dressed HW up in his fan gear for daddy and he wanted to make sure we got a picture of our future Dodger pitcher! He was a little fussy but we managed to get a semi-decent one:



Now we are just going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon as a family! Maybe cut open our watermelon later! Yum!

April 3rd

Today Hudson is exactly one month! Wow! Thank God for such a healthy baby!
I ordered some prints of his newborn pics today! Pick them up tmrw!
Today we went for a walk and he enjoyed it. He also is starting to pay more attention to his toys!

Good Friday Family Time

Today my family came over. Dad helped Matt rebuild the gate next to our house and that took all afternoon. Mom, Lauren, Hudson Wade and I hungout inside and visited. Blake was there for for a few hours and then he went on a date!
Melissa and Justi drove in from Dallas for the weekend and she came over today for a few hours. It was so good to see her and even tho it's only been a few weeks since the last time she was here, it sill feels like forever ago! I miss her sooo much!
She got to spend some much needed time with her new favorite little boy in the whole world!



Tonight I was sitting on the couch playing with my little angel and he was beginning to coo and learn his voice! He smiled and grinned bigger then I've ever seen him grin before! It was just about the best part of my whole day!
