I AM BACK FOR GOOD!!


We have the internet FINALLY!! :0) I have been waiting forever and now I am so excited to share what has been going on in my life lately...

To start off, Hudson is now 26 months old and I am convinced this is the best age ever! I am realizing more and more that I am molding such a wonderful little boy. That doesn't mean he is a perfect angel by any means. It simply means that he understands the ways of life that I have taught him. His newest thing: He knows that he isn't supposed to say certain words that he has picked up from everywhere like "stupid" "crap" "dumb" etc. So whenever he says anything like that I say to him "Hudson, Jesus doesn't like that word" and he will say "Sorry Jesus for saying stupid." and follow with "Thank you." Well we now have the language police on our hands! Anytime Andy (or I, but usually Andy lol) slips and says "stupid", Hudson will say "Daddy we don't say stupid! Say sorry to Jesus!" and Andy will say "Sorry Jesus" then Hudson says very sternly, "Thank you!" lol. It is too funny! The best part is...HE GETS IT! He is understanding the idea that forgiveness is that simple. Of course it gets to be much deeper when you're older but for a two year old...that's not too bad! I love teaching him and seeing the world through his eyes, it's simply amazing.

The Lord has given us a gift as well...another baby BOY to be born in mid-March and I couldn't be more excited! I think that two boys will be so wonderful. We had the sonogram done a month ago today and I was 18 weeks along and he was sucking his thumb! It was the cutest thing I had ever seen! I bet I will have a thumb-sucker on my hands! :0) I'm not sure if that's good or bad. The name issue is driving me absolutely nuts!!! I am really desperate for help at this point. I am coming to the conclusion that I am just really picky but I knew with Hudson that was his name and I never doubted it once I heard it and I haven't heard my baby's name yet, I am convinced. I have put a baby name generator on my blog so that all of you may participate as you wish! If there is a name you like, comment and let me know! I need all the help I can get!

Now...I need to vent! lol. I'm sure many of you have been pregnant before and would agree with me. Somehow we need to send a message to the world that "if they dont have anything nice to say to a pregnant lady, dont say anything at all." Fair enough? Yeah, I would think so. I was in the post office the other day when the postmaster said to me, "Oh, you're not due till March? You're BIG!" My head's reply: SHUT UP!!! My heart's reply: "Yeah..." I have never been one to stand up for myself but I am beginning to think now is the time.

There's more...I was in a wedding this past weekend (hence the picture above) where a lady approached me in the bathroom just to say "They have your dates wrong!" I was like "What??? Actually, my dress exaggerates my belly a bit" and her reply is, "Noooo, I was never that big when I had my son!" and again speaking with my heart and not my head I just said, "Well, I had a sonogram..." and she just walked away. Of course that left me in hysterics for the rest of the night and pretty much today as well. In actuality the dress was maternity and it was empire waist and had pleats just under my breasts which did exaggerate my belly a bit, but still. My head wanted to scream at her: THANK YOU THAT MAKES ME FEEL WONDERFUL! SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Ugh...why? If anyone wants to comment on that feel free because I am beyond annoyed and upset about everything. I know that I actually have no control over what my belly does and this is my second baby! My uterus knows just how to stretch!

I had a OB appt. last week and all is well with the baby, my weight and everything so I guess I need to write those people off as ignorant and end it but I just had to vent first!! Ridiculous!!

On a positive note, Basketball cheerleading is starting tomorrow and I am super excited! I will be busy and might not blog as regularly as I should but I promise I will keep up with it! It's a good outlet...:0)

Hey! So nice to see you on here again!

That's precious about Hudson and his ability to understand what words aren't acceptable in your home. These toddlers are so teachable... Moreso than the majority of people give them credit for! Brooke says her prayers too and everytime I hear her talk to Jesus my heart is filled with so much joy!

I seriously can't believe that people are saying these mean things to you. People need to learn to shut up! When I was like 6 months pregnant with Brooke I got a lot of comments like that too so DO NOT let it get to you. Being pregnant is a wonderful gift and people just say stupid things to hear themselves speak!
