Time to Blog!

Okay! Time to blog! Since it's been so long! Or atleast it feels like it anyway!
We are soooooo happy that daddy is out for SUMMER!!! Yippeee! This means more time for me and my hubby, more time for my hubby and his brand new baby boy and also more mommy time to herself!
Unfortunately my mommy time includes this horrifying summer math course that will be taking up 5 whole weeks out of our 2010 summer. Boo. :(
Well, here are a few pics of my sweet baby!

Long time, no blog!

I know it's been a little over a week since I have blogged. Let me cover the bigger events from the few days!
My first Mother's Day was the sweetest! I got a card that was signed by Matt AND Hudson (og course Hudson had a little assistance signing his name!) The card was filled w watermelon seeds bc I have been telling Matt I want him to plant me some watermelon! My presents also included the 3rd season of The O.C., a brand new HOT PINK Chi, and I goty laptop fixed! It was a sweet Mother's Day!
Hudson Wade went to his 2 month check up and now weighs about 12 lbs and 22inches! He is growing so fast that it breaks my heart to pieces!
Here are some recent photos of my little man!


He can now sit in his Bumbo seat! I think he likes it!



We've been waiting to dress him in these USPA onsies! Mom bought him some shorts and you can barely see them but he can now wear his brown shoes that our pastors wife bought him!



Passed out!!! So funny!



His new hairstyle! A mohawk!!



Watching the Dodgers game w daddy! They are so cute together!



His Paul Frank onsies fit him now. They are a size 3-6 months. STOP GROWING HW!!!



My two favorite boys! Aren't they handsome?!? I love them so much! I'm such a blessed little wife and mommy! Thank you Jesus for my family!

Anticipation

Tomorrow is my first mothers day! I'm not getting to spend it exactly how I'd like but atleast I'll be with my boys all day! I'm anxious to see what I am getting.. I really have no clue this time! Lol (usually I do but matt doesn't need to know that ;)
Well, my little man is growing! He measured 22 inches at his 2 month appointment and he weighed 11.4 lbs! He can now wear his 0-3 month clothes and he can fit in his size 1 shoes!! Also, he can sit in his Bumbo seat! And he loves it!!!

Pop and Nan

Last night I had a scrapbooking party at church that lasted from 6-midnight. Matt was helping his friend Nick with some yard work. So, Hudson Wade stayed the night with Nan and Pop for the first time ever!! I wasn't sure if i could handle a whole night without my baby! I had to hold back tears when mom came to pick him up. She told me that he pooped in his bath and then threw up on her afterwards. Then she said she didn't get any sleep. Ha! Maybe she was the one who couldn't handle it! Anyway, for about two weeks she had yet to see him really smile and laugh out loud, responding to what you say to him. She told me that she got an ear full this weekend! Dad and mom were both making him a very happy little baby boy today! I couldnt pass up such a sweet photo opportunity! I had to capture that precious angel smile!



Notice he is wearing his 'Grandma loves me' shirt!








I distracted him with the camera!

When I picked him up he just layed on my shoulder and looked at me. He missed his mommy and she missed him too!

Great Times with a Great Grandpa!

Today was my Pappaw's 64th birthday. He had chemo all day today so we bought him some Popsicles for when he gets sick. He played with Hudson Wade and talked to him about all kinds of stuff. It was the sweetest thing! He is so proud of his great grandson! And Hudson Wade adores his Pappaw!

Dirt Cheap and Faster then Weeds!

Last Thursday Dirt Cheap openned up in Monroe. I spent $123 on Thursday and then went back Friday with Matthew and spent another $180!!! My gracious! We did buy things we needed or have been wanting for a long time. We got a beach umbrella for $9, a 10x10 canopy tent for our backyard for $75, a blueray disc player for $70, 500 threadcount sheet set for $20, a
Jumbo box of pamper diapers for $12, a jumbo box of wipeys for $3.. I got Hudson Wade a 71 piece Lego block set for $7, some beach towels for $3 each. Those are some of the bigger things we found. I think I have a new addiction! I LOVE Dirt Cheap!!!
Hudson Wade has really begun to show his personality more! He is cooing and laughing more and more everyday! And he really is growing faster then weeds!! He is still just a tiny little angel but not as tiny as he was 8 weeks ago! His 2 month appointment is next week on May 4th and then the week after that he gets his 2 month set of shots! Ouch!!! Mommy hates it for him! I have a few tips from a good friend of mine to help make it a little less uncomfortable for him! Tylenol an hour before and have a bottle ready for immediately afterwards!
Here's a recent pic of him snoozing! He's dreaming of his mommy! ;)

Where is the Pause button?

Sometimes I am desperate for a pause button. I want to make everything stop and go crawl under my pillow and cry or either hop a flight to somewhere tropical and buy a margarita! Marriage and motherhood are sooooo incredibly rewarding and wonderful but sometimes they can be sooo incredibly and unbearably overwhelming. Most of the time one is better then the other! But when they are both making me feel like no matter what I do it isn't good enough, that's when I need to escape! When I can't make my husband happy and can't make my baby stop crying is when I want to trade lives with a true 21 year old college student who is making spring break plans with their besties! You know what I was doing on my spring break? BREASTFEEDING!
If only I would lean on Jesus more. It's not that I don't want to or don't trust Him. I just try to do it on my own. But then I end up going to the bathroom and just crying for 45 minutes wishing my nanny was still alive. His ways are so much better! The truth is that I can do nothing without Him and He gives me the ability to do everything that I can do! Being a wife and a mother at 21! I know I couldn't do it without Him so why do I try to during the toughest moments? I need to run to Him for serenity. I need to make Him my escape.
Lord, change my habits. I want you to be my Hiding Place away from the chaos that fills my life sometimes. I want YOU to be the One that dries my tears! I want YOU to be my margarita! I want my life to pause so that I can spend that much needed time with YOU!
