hudson’s 1st nine months

August 3, 2010 | Filed Under children, personal | 3 Comments

My little guy is just a growing and growing. I am amazed every single day at how much he grows and how much he is learning. Some days I just can’t even believe that I’m really a mom! I truly am blessed to have such a lil stinker and I love him with every ounce of my being.

Thank you Hudson for being you and for letting me be your mom. I love you!

I realize I have been MIA this last month or so, but for good reason! This post has been a long time in the making. Every time I sit down to write it’s feeding time again!

So, we were totally not expecting our little man to make his arrival almost 2 weeks early but he arrived on October 14 (my sis’ birthday!). I had been having pretty bad swelling in my feet and legs the last couple months of my pregnancy but the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. Then on the night before Hudson’s birth the swelling seemed to be a little worse and I had a headache (signs of preeclampsia). I was worried so I made my hubby drive me to Wal-Mart to take my blood pressure. It was extremely high so we booked it to the hospital! They said I’d have to stay the night for observation but it still never crossed our minds that our little buddy would be coming so soon. The next day I woke up with blurred vision and was still having really high blood pressure so my doctor made the decision that I would have to have a c-section. I burst into tears right then. It seriously never crossed my mind that I would have to have a c-section. Those childbirth classes were useless! So Hudson was delivered at 9:19 that morning. I ended up having to stay in the hospital for an entire week because my blood pressure refused to go down. It was a stressful time let me tell ya!

Then to top it off once we got Hudson home he started to have problems keeping down his feedings. It turns out he had a condition called pyloric stenosis. It’s where the muscle at the bottom of the stomach is too thick so food can’t pass through to be digested. The food had no where to go but back out! Poor guy! The only way to fix the condition is with surgery. So after only 3 short weeks of life Hudson had his first (and hopefully only!) surgery. He made it through ok and is now doing great!!

Now what you’ve all been waiting for! Isn’t he just the cutest little baby you have ever seen? I think so!!

And my absolute fave! That sweet little grin gets me every time!

If you want to see some more pics go on over to Raye Law’s blog. She took some family pics for us shortly after we got home from the hospital.

taking some time.

Hey blog readers! I will be starting my maternity leave this weekend and will be hopefully starting sessions back up again mid November after the little guy is born. I’m just getting too uncomfortable to continue shooting. You should see the size of my feet! Let me know if you are interested in booking for when I return. I am already anxious to get back to shooting!

progress.

Well the title says it all. We are both so excited! I haven’t bought anything baby yet, been holding out to find out whether it was a boy or girl. So right after our appointment I ran to the store and found some cute little boy clothes! Now we have to find a name we both agree on…

guess what julie + eric are having!

Well, as you can see, I’ve been slacking a little on this lil ole blog. But for a good reason! I’ve been really tired lately and not really up for any extra curricular activites. Lol! Take for instance last night. I got home from work, had a little dinner, and went straight to bed. And slept through the whole night! 12 hours! So not like me.

Here’s why:

That’s right! We are having a wee one! Blueberry as we call him/her. And we couldn’t be more excited. So please bare with me if the blog is a little neglected for a little while. I’ll try to get back on track asap! Be on the look out for a bridal session to be posted soon. Saturday to be exact. Jessica is getting married this weekend, I’ve been waiting patiently to post this session and can’t wait to share!!!

This weekend I “tried” to take some pics of my beautiful new niece. She, on the other hand, had other plans. I love getting those sleepy newborn shots but Miss Rylee would have no part of it. As soon as I would lay her down those eyes would pop right open and they would stay open. Wide awake! Aren’t newborns supposed to sleep all the time?! I’m telling you I spent 4-5 hours on Saturday waiting for her to give in. Nope, not Rylee. She’s a little party girl.

Here are a few that I did get. We will try again soon
