Ultra-Sound Photos

Here are some of the 17 week ultra-sound photos. Amazing how clear they are! The technician said the baby is about 6 inches long and weighing about a 1/2 pound.

Little Doggy

I was filling up the dogs' water bowl last night and Hudson decided to copy Maya. Maya loves to drink straight from the hose and so Maya and Hudson were going back and forth, drinking from the tap. I am sure we are just days away from Hudson drinking out of their bowl.

18 Week Bump

Ok, so I cheated a little. These pictures were taken right wnen I woke up... when my stomach is the smallest.

No Internet....Again

No joke, our internet has been down for the past week. This time the modem died. (I did the last post from my parents' house). Time Warner came out this afternoon and replaced the modem with a more 'modern' one and now we are up and running...again. I dont even want to talk about how long I have been on the phone with Time Warner this past week.
Anyways, without internet (and without tv those first few weeks) I started reading books again. I used to be a HUGE reader. I like books far more than movies. I have always liked reading. But during law school, reading got put on the back burner. It was hard to read for fun when I couldnt finish the assigned reading from professors, so it just didnt happen. Then when I was pregnant I didnt have the attention span to get through a book.
Well, without modern technology, I started reading again. I finally read:


I loved Kite Runner so much I cant believe it has taken me so long to read his other book.
I also read:




I enjoyed all these books (all recommendations) and am excited to start the next one:

I would love to hear some more recently published "must-reads" to add to my summer list!
So something good did happen from the Time Warner/AT&T mess...

Bump Watch 2008

I wasnt going to put this picture up. But because I dont want the next one to look extra large, I thought I had to put this one up. For comparison. It is the only one I have for this pregnancy. One bump photo in 4.5 months. I took so many pictures last time, I have to remind myself to do it again this time... Anyways, this was taken before we moved, so it is the 12 week bump shot. Showing a little sooner than last time...

Flying By

This second pregnancy is flying by. Mainly because each time I go to the doctor, they push my due date up to an earlier date. I went this morning for a 'high-tech' ultra sound to determine the date (long story, but date of last period doesnt apply for my pregnancy calculations and we have to rely on ultra sounds). I finally got an ultra sound where they measured the bones and took about 200 pictures (it was a 40 minute ultra sound) and calculated the size to determine a due date of November 29th. This pregnancy is flying by ... almost half way done!
We are not finding out the sex. Like Hudson, we will wait for the delivery surprise. I must admit, it is much harder not knowing this time, but we love finding out in the room.

Just a Taste of Hudson

The video below shows how Hudson gets into his ball pit. He taught himself how to do this and he does it about 100 times a day. Just as a comparison, let me first tell you how Gianna gets in the ball pit: she is careful, calculated, she takes her time. She has both hands on the railing, one leg in at a time while never letting go.
Here is what our crazy little man does:

Cruisin'

He figured out how to drive his car... Now we just need to teach him how to steer!

Coming Soon...

Little Hudson is going to be a big brother! Baby Reynolds Number Two is coming soon with a due date of December 4th.

Dancing Machine

Watching Hudson dance never gets old to me....I want to cry and laugh at the same time.


Sorry for the angle...anyone know how to rotate on youtube?

The Move

Over Memorial Day weekend we moved! Yeah! To a house with a YARD! Yeah! Those of you that know where we lived before, know that we had ZERO yard. With two dogs. And a wild child who likes to play outside. JR found the perfect place and we felt at home and settled in LONG before the boxes were unpacked. We spend all of our time hanging out in the back yard and our dogs are happier. Hudson is happier. And all of that means JR and I are happy with our move. Hudson literally wakes up in the morning and after looking around and yelling for "DADA" he asks "Owe-sigh?"... meaning he wants to go 'outside' and play.
Here are some shots from the last couple weeks:





The dogs lovin' it too...

Disneyland

A few weeks ago Hudson went to Disneyland for the first time. I am so glad that I am taking him to places like Disneyland and the Zoo and the Aquarium because he LOVES it and proves to me each time that he is not too young to enjoy these types of activities. He had a blast running around and going on rides (and was even a tough guy on the scary rides - like Alice in Wonderland. That ride is completely in the dark!).








Hudson and Gianna holding hands on a ride...


And someone got really tired from running around all day... he fell asleep on our way out of the park.

2 weeks

Believe it or not, we still dont have internet. I am at my parents again doing this... There was a problem with the modem they gave us yesterday so after ordering another, they will be back... again. It has now been 2 weeks.
Here is a cute picture that I found on my parents computer so you know that Hudson is still doing well... Laughing as usual and being a crazy boy!

We Moved!

I am sorry that I havent posted in forever... I didnt realize so many people checked this blog. But the reason I havent posted is because we havent had internet. Or cable. In over a week. AT&T took three days last week just to tell us on Friday afternoon that the new house is too far from the box and that they cannot provide internet and cable. We called another provider and HOPE they can come next week.
I am at my parents house now picking up Hudson and doing a quick blog update. I have no pictures of the new place though. Sorry. Lots to post as soon as our life is unpacked and back together.
