The tour is finally over and I feel so relieved! Everything went really well...my mother-in-law was here to help me out and manage all of the treats we set out for everyone. Everyone really liked our house and decorating styles but they really couldn't get over the view we have of the creek and the geese and everything. I came to the conclusion that I don't appreciate that enough! :0) Now I have a spotless house moving into the holiday season and I couldn't be happier. The tour forced me to totally get ready for the baby as well! All of the clothes are hung up and put away in the dresser and also sorted by size in bins! I am glad I got that done with twelve weeks to spare because once you get to the end...you don't feel like doing ANYTHING! :0)
I will be 28 weeks tomorrow and I can't believe I am already beginning my 3rd trimester. I have an appointment on the 26th and soon after that I will be seen every two weeks! It went by so fast and I am thrilled. Luckily I have cheerleading to keep me occupied until the baby comes. We are supposed to go to another competition on March 1st in Utica...Hmm...wonder how I will feel then!? lol. I told Michelle that I am going no matter what! :0)
Yesterday I took Hudson to my work to visit and then we went and got some gifts for daddy for Christmas. Andy got out of work early because he was called in at 2:30 a.m. so we went and picked him up at 2pm and went to the mall to finish up our Christmas shopping. I am totally done! Hudson kept seeing things that he wanted and everytime he would look up at the ceiling of the store and say "I want that ______, Santa!" It was so cute. So of course, we visited Santa at the mall again and Hudson had to tell him about his new discoveries.
Christmas should be really fun this year with a 2 year old...I really want to cherish this time with him because it will be his last Christmas alone! I am praying that the snow stays away on Christmas Eve so that we can have our daddy with us! That's the only sad thing about Andy's job...SNOW REMOVAL! :0( Let's hope! Tonight Andy and Hudson are going to make sugar cookies while I am at practice so that should be interesting...no more clean kitchen!!! :0) Oh well...what's more imporant?

Number One Fan
I can't believe that I have only 95 days left in my pregnancy...it seems like it has gone by so fast but at the same time, not quite fast enough! I can't wait to get this baby boy in my arms. I miss it so much! Hudson is just getting too big...he carries on real conversations and follows directions and always understands what I'm eplaining to him and replies with confirming statements like..."Oh...so we don't get hurt?" or something like that. Just so cute...I really do enjoy this age but I am ready for a baby who needs me and relies on me for everything.
We went to the mall last week before our dr. appts. and we happened to see Santa without a line of children waiting for him so we just stopped in and talked to him. Santa asked Hudson what he wanted for Christmas to which he responded..."An Eli jersey" Santa looked puzzled, so I said, "He wants and Eli Manning Football Jersey" and Santa said "Ohhhh I'm a fan too! What number is on Eli's jersey? Is it nine??" Hudson said.."NOOO it's not nine....it's TEN!" And right he is! Eli's number is ten and boy does he know it! He is probably the biggest Eli Manning fan you would ever meet for a two year old. It really is unbelievable. He has a poster in his room that he "pounds" every night. Footballs that he runs around and puts his fingers on the laces and throws while saying "I'm throwing like Eli!" Everything is Eli Eli Eli....I can get him to eat almost anything if I just say that it will make him grow big like Eli! lol. One night he had a nightmare about a mouse and Andy brought him in our room and said "Oh, you're just afraid of a little mouse?!" and Hudson replied (half asleep) "No he's not little....he's big like Eli!" lol. After some searching on Ebay...I was able to find a Jersey, size 4 so he can grow into it, for Santa. Boy is Santa lucky! :0) Now I'm on the search for a youth helmet. How cute is that?!
Anyways...the tour is this weekend and I am all set except for last minute cleaning and picking up after Hudson. I think we're going to go out shopping tonight for some groceries and stuff so that should be fun. I have been cooped up in this house for wayyyyyyyyyy too long and I just can't stand it anymore. :0)

The Doctor is IN...
On Thursday Hudson and mommy went shopping to finish up some Christmas gifts and go to a few Doctor appointments. Hudson had a follow-up visit for his ear tubes and I had an OB appointment. Here are the reports:
Hudson's tubes looked great. He never had any drainage or fevers at all which was so nice. The doctor (and most importantly Hudson) let me look into his ears to see what they looked like also. When our nurse brought us to the room she asked Hudson if he knew what was in mommy's belly and he said "my baby brother" to which she responded..."well I'm not sure how they get any cuter than you! That would be pretty hard!" I have to admit...I have wondered what this baby will look like and act like. All I can picture is Hudson right now, of course, and it's so strange to try to picture a little boy who looks like him but not totally like him. It's amazing...I really can't wait to just hold a baby again. Three more months will go by fast! :0) (I hope)
At my OB Appointment everything went well except...I have Pubic Separation Symphasis which is something that some women get during pregnancy. I had it with Hudson but it is significantly worse this time. The tendons that connect your pelvis loosen up when you are pregnant to allow the baby to come out. For some women, it can create a lot of pain, popping, and discomfort down there. I sleep with pillows between my legs which doesn't really help but when I roll over from one side to the other the pain is excrutiating! Then...in the morning when I get up to walk to the bathroom, I can barely move without pain. It pretty much feels like someone is taking your pelvis and ripping it apart. I spoke with my Dr. about it just to make sure it was normal for it to get increasingly worse with every pregnancy and he responded, "Yes...in fact, I have had a few recent patients who have had to use crutches on their first pregnancy, a walker for the next, and a wheelchair for the third pregnancy." Andy and I haven't really decided if we want to have more children yet but I just felt like that was a big let down. The pain does not affect the baby whatsoever and it goes away immediately after giving birth but I'm not sure if I can go through a pregnancy where I may need crutches or any kind of assistance. Can you imagine? Anyways...we have always talked about adopting so we may do that which seems like a perfect option if only it wasn't so expensive. I know the Lord will take care of that though. :0) I just have to concentrate on getting through the next three months...that will need some prayer too!
Lastnight Andy took Hudson to the Lights on the River while I was at a Basketball game. They had a lot of fun together and Hudson can't stop talking about the fireworks and the ladder truck! :0) So cute...I have some pictures they took that I will post later!
Today we have a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser for Cheerleading at the school so I will be back and forth all day....so fun! (?) My tour is next week! AHHHH!!! It's going to be crunch time! :0) Why did I sign up for this? Who knows?!?!
