Pink or Blue????
When I went in for my ultrasound the other day I just knew the doctor would say, "It's a boy!". With Caleb I remember that I knew right away, I had the strongest feeling it was a boy and sure enough, it was. And with this one I just knew it was a boy too.
With Hudson I didn't have a clue. No feelings either way. I carried him very similar to how I carried Caleb so that was an indication it was a boy. But I was hardly sick with him and with Caleb I was sick as a dog for 9 months. So that could have meant it was a girl. But as we went in for the ultrasound, with Caleb there, the doctor said, "Well I hate to tell you this but you're going to have to put up with another one of these." and pointed to Caleb. I like my doctor, he's funny.
So as I went in the other day, I didn't have a clue what the doc was looking at. I guess that's why they're the trained professional and I'm not right? I told him at the beginning I wanted to know the sex so if he saw anything he could say. Anyway he was doing the measuring and all that stuff and all of a sudden on the screen he makes the words of the sex come up. For one I wasn't expecting it at that moment and for another I wasn't expecting to it to say "Girl".
He triple checked from each direction and he is confident it's a girl. He says he's been wrong 4 times out of 15 years...pretty good odds if you ask me.
So sure enough this sweet little one in my tummy is a girl. After having 2 boys, my last baby will have cute pony tails and painted toe nails instead of dead frogs in their pockets and toilet seats left up.
Tonight is one of those nights
Whew I'm tired. It wasn't really a busier day then usual but I'm beat.
I am getting Guardianship of Makayla and the last step is a Social Worker has to come see my house and talk to us and her. I spent today picking up the house and just making sure it's in order for her to come. I'm not going to fake it and have my house be completely spotless because well, that's impossible. But I do want it presentable.
I made dinner too. One of us will take the older kid(s) to soccer practice and the other stays home to make dinner and do what needs to be done. So I made taco salad....yummy.
But after all that, my feet hurt and I'm tired.
School starts on Monday for the kiddos so we're trying to establish a routine again around here. They're not too happy about the 9:00 bedtime. I am.
I think I'm rambling on. My dogs are tired and my brain wants to shut off. Oh but one last thing....ok a couple. I got a new computer so as soon as I move into my new house I will get it hooked up and be a much better blogger. And of course there will be many more pictures. This computer is just too much of a pain. We also went to the teeny tiny baby doctor...all looks good, haven't gained a pound (which with Hudson I only gained 2 lbs...weird I know), and if he/she cooperates I'll find out the sex on the 17th of September.
Anyway that's it.
I Love Rocking My Baby
As I was rocking Huddie to sleep tonight that's what I was thinking about. We are busy busy people, it's unreal. Soccer, work, doctors, getting ready to move, busy. We're always in a rush...I'm constantly telling the kids go go go, hurry, let's go because there's just not time to not be rushed.
Anyway I am usually thinking gotta get the baby down to sleep fast so I can get things ready for tomorrow, get the older kids ready for bed and then get in bed myself by 9 since I wake up so early. And then I start thinking, now we're going to be having another one so I really need to get him to go to sleep on his own in his crib by February since we'll have a baby to put to sleep too. But seriously, I love rocking him. How often do you get to experience your babies being babies? My "baby" will be 10 in a couple months! I had all the time in the world for him. As a matter of fact he slept with me so instead of rocking him to sleep, I'd snuggle him to sleep.
Shortly after Hudson was born, Makayla came to live with us so suddenly I had two school aged children, a full time job, a house to clean, and a new baby. The thought of making time for all of them was, and sometimes still is, overwhelming. They have such different needs The older ones take more mental energy and the baby takes more physical energy . Plus by the time I get off work after dealing with about 900 of the most difficult people on the planet for 8 hours, I'm sucked dry.
BUT. Yes there is a but. There are a few things...well more then a few things but I'm only listing a few of them...that I absolutely love about making time for my kids.
I love having chats with my oldest son. Whether we're talking about something he got in trouble over, something great he did, something he wants to do, a girl he likes, what he did with friends, whatever. I could talk to him all night.
I love doing girly things with my niece. She likes to have her makeup done, nails painted, and hair done. We giggle and talk about her friends. And she always so much older by the time we're done.
And lastly I love rocking my baby. When I put his tummy to mine and his head lays on my arm and he just stares at me as his eye lids get heavy. I can feel him melt into me when he drifts off.
Here we go again....
Ok so I have yet to post this on here. And I know I've told just about everyone that reads this in person...but just in case there are some lurkers around there I'M PREGNANT! 12 weeks to be exact. Huge surprise. I'm excited! Our new precious arrival will join the gang sometime around February 5th. Caleb wants a girl and Makayla wants a boy. We want a healthy little girl but will be totally happy with a baby boy. So...............I will start taking pictures soon!
Hudson's 1st Birthday 6/28/10
Hudson turned one!!! I cannot believe how fast time goes. He walks all over the place....even tries to run. He says, "ba-bye & uh oh" He says, "Mamma " but I don't know if he knows what it means. He loves loves loves his Bubby and Lala (Caleb & Makayla)! And he really loves dogs too! His eye lashes have only got darker and longer and he is handsome as ever. This past year has been amazing having Hudson in our lives. I'm so thankful for him!
Hudson's 1st haircut 6/27/10
He did great! He just sat there sucking on his binky looking around at the bright fun place. He didn't even mind when she got out the clippers.
He even got his first sucker for being such a good trooper. He loved it! 
It didn't change his looks much but it did keep him looking extraordinarily cute!
Our House???
So I didn't get the house I put an offer in on. They wanted $12,000 more then the full price offer I gave them. So as much as I loved the home, I declined. I found another one I liked...different floor plan. It looked like they had a great backyard until they let it go. It has a big fenced in garden, big lawn area and some extra area. They put in a horse shoe pit and a cool barrel thing for the kids to play on. I think with some TLC it will look great again. The sellers have accepted our offer, just waiting for their bank to since it's a short sale. So wish me luck! Here's a not so great picture of it.
Hudson is almost 9 months now. He started pulling up on Saturday. However he doesn’t really have the balance for it, so he still falls a lot.
I made an offer on a house!!! It’s beautiful and has a white picket fence in the front. It’s a short sale though so can take 2-6 months so wish me luck!.
Caleb is great, ready to sign up for soccer next month.
Makayla is doing wonderful, she’s ready for soccer as well.
More to come later, this is just a quick update.
Enjoy the pictures!
