What a little tough guy...

A mommy for two weeks

I have been putting photos up for the past two weeks but I have yet to actually write anything. I am not quite sure where to begin or what to write. Hudson was born two weeks ago and that means I have been a mommy for two weeks. I still cannot get used to saying that.... I have a two week old son... I am a mommy... C R A Z Y! At the same time, it feels as if Hudson has been with us forever. I cannot remember not having him. I do have fond memories of uninterrupted sleep but I am even enjoy getting up with him in the middle of the night because it is just him and I.

More Smiles...

I figured out how Hudson's grandpa gets such great pictures of Hudson, including these smiles... He has the camera aimed at Hudson, focused with the flash ready to go, just waiting for Hudson to do something. He gets some great photos!

Grandpa, STOP taking my photo!

Oh No, Grandpa, another photo?!

Born April 3, 2007 at 8:22am and weighing in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces and 20 inches long.

Monday April 2, 2007 at 5:00am

On Monday, I awoke at 5:00am with some mild contractions and some nausea. I wasnt sure if 'this was it' so I just waited and started timing them to see if there was any rhyme or reason. They were around 15 minutes apart but not always regular. Around 10am JR and I went to dog park to walk around and get the dogs some exercise and to see if walking would start things up more.
I thought the contractions were going away and began thinking that this was not the day our baby would be born but a false alarm. I started walking back to the car when a flood of water soaked my pants. My water had sprung a leak... and I began thinking that this might be the day after all.
We went back home and walked around a bit more to get things started on their own. We wanted to stay home as long as possible so I had to continue to check my temperature and make sure the fluid was clear and without a smell.
Everything was going well and around 4pm, the contractions were five minutes apart and we left for the hospital.... Traffic time.
We got to the hospital around 5pm and they checked to see how dilated I was. I was 5cm so they admitted me and I went to a Labor and Delivery room. Everyone thought we would have a baby in our hands before midnight.... but Baby Reynolds had other plans...and I had MANY more hours of labor before I would have the little one in my arms. After 28 and a half hours of labor, we finally met Baby Reynolds.

No April Fool's Day Baby Here

Soooo - thirty...nine...weeks... and no baby! I am going back and forth between thoughts of "come out baby!" and "if you need more time to cook, go ahead and stay as long as you want." I feel that if I just stop thinking about it, then the baby will come out and it will all happen. BUT - how do you stop thinking about the moving baby that is hanging out in front of you? Impossible! Here is the most recent picture... Until next time, I will continue to grow...
