NEED for a change...

I finally gave my blog a much needed makeover, as you can see!

Today, I had an OBGYN appointment. Pretty routine at this point but as we near March my mind is racing with labor and delivery worries! Good news is that I explained to my new Dr. (long story) that my labor with Hudson was short and sweet and he agrees that the same scenario may play out again (I hope)! My Dr. broke my water with Hudson (no real pain before then) and I had Hudson five hours later and only pushed for 20 minutes! Basically for your second, the labor and pushing time can be cut in half! Now THAT is my prayer! :0) Anyways...besides that the baby is doing wonderfully and is now head down and I didn't gain any weight from my last appointment! (Yay!) I wasn't trying not to...just happened. I think bc my weight gain from the last appointment was basically the baby's main growth spurt. I will go back again on February 12th and then only have one month to go...I can't believe that it has gone by so fast this time!

We have started working on potty training with Hudson for the hopes of not having to buy diapers for two children! $$$$ He is doing well but it does take a lot of time and patience! When we are home he gets to wear his big boy underpants and then when we go out I do put a pull up on him just incase but I still take him to the bathroom often and try to keep it dry. It's difficult but I have made a vow not to turn back to diapers now! :0) And...I dont think Hudson would like that either now that he knows diapers are for "babies". Anything that's for babies is just not for him right now. He is at that stage where he wants to be older and independent. I really love watching him grow and watching his personality flourish. He has "adult" conversations all of the time and he definitely wants to do EVERYTHING that daddy does. So cute...at night they will both get their showers and use "big boy stuff" (Old Spice body wash) and they will both put on their matching navy blue robes over their jammies. I love my boys...

Anyways...it's late. I'm going to get a shower and off to bed! Goodnight world...

Hey! I'm so happy that your appointment went well. Good to hear! You guys must be getting so excited over there. Now tell me, DOES THIS BABY HAVE A NAME YET??!?!??!?!?!

That's so funny about Hudson with the grown up things... Brooke must have perfume, rosy cheeks, and her hair brushed each morning before she's satisfied. They're starting kinda young. Ya think???

I know, we seriously NEED to get together. We miss you guys too:-( John's working days and has weekends off now so it will be easy to find time to hook up. When are you guys free?
