Hudson is now two months!! It feels like its been 5 months- I guess thats what sleepless nights does to you. No but truthfully we have been super blessed with a Sweet baby! He is mellow tempered and easy going...cries when overly tired and only to communicate some needs- and when met, he's content. He developes features all the time that resemble both Gavin and I, and we get a good mix of opinions on that. He smiles and roles over from the front to back only. He has NASTY smelling gas- that of an adult...specifically his dad. :) I tell him it will help him make friends with all the boys- (we'll encourage as long as it keeps the girls away!!)
These two months have been a blast! I was listening to the radio one night, to help stay awake, and there was a sara evans song playing that talked about living life up to the fullest- and the lyrics mentioned all the best stuff( I want to do it all, visit paris in the fall...etc)- and one line that I heard for the first time that night (@3 am) was about rocking your baby to sleep- and it gave me an appreciation for the moment...and the season- it's brutal getting up in the wee hours of the morning but as I have been told by many people, it's some of the best moments of life and I am sure I will miss it. Like the smell of brand new baby breath for the first few days - oh man! It was literally like heaven to me. I would stick my nose in his mouth when he would yawn... It was AMAZING. God does know what he's doing- he gets us addicted to little things about them so that we can tolerate the middle of the night, and losing sleep, and being HUGE for 10 months.
In light of the past two months I want to mention how wonderful our friends have been. They have gone above and beyond to help Gavin and I- meals, calling to see if we're ok, working on our computer so I could post this, driving me to Dr apts (We only have 1 car that gavin takes to work so I am stuck at home), and even loaned us a car for the first two weeks of hudsons arrival home (our one car was getting worked on). I have to mention as well that what has been so great about all of these people is that they themselves aren't the type that have extra cars lying around or loads of money for gas and meals for us- they had to sacrifice BIG time, just so we wouldn't have to. It was INCREDIBLE. So, to all of you sweet friends- THANK YOU, That is what Jesus is all about!

Haha, nice blog. Looks like the computer is still working then. I have an upgrade or two for it still, let me know when can come over soon. Kate leaves for Australia tomorrow so I have lots of free time.
Say hi to that babe for me. I remember our hang-out time fondly.
