Baby Update

Sorry no baby yet. I am trying though. Don't you wish you could just tell your body when to go into labor. That would make things so nice and convenient. I thought maybe last night was the real thing. I was timing my contractions (strong ones also) about every 5 minutes for almost an hour, but then they stopped...grrrr! So now I am just at home trying to get my mind off of having a baby so maybe I will go into labor. I will keep you updated when something good happens!!

Our little Hudson

I thought since we don't see many of you I would update you on Hudson and the cute things he does right now. Hudson is obsessed with The Wiggles. He will watch the video over and over. I love The Wiggles but there is only so much I can take. I had Adam order some new Wiggles videos because I am done with the couple we have. Hudson is so cute when he dances to the songs and tries to imitate the Wiggles moves. He is getting quite a little temper and is kinda difficult at times. By difficult I mean he tells me NO all the time. He wants things his way and is starting to be mean to all of his younger cousins. When I try to punish him he throws the biggest tantrums. Oh the joy of motherhood. I just have to try to distract him a lot and keep him busy. Hudson is such a joy to have though. He is so sweet and cuddly also.
Hudson's vocabulary is coming along. He can say: ball, basketball, dog, mom, No!, hot, and popcorn. In the evening he will go watch the Doggy shows with my dad and sit up on their bed and really watch the show. He loves dogs just not so much in person. If there is a dog near him he gets very scared and won't let you put him down, but the funny thing about it is he calls them to him. He will put out his hand and make a dog calling noise to have them come over. As soon as they come over he has to be up in your arms. Weird little boy! I know that when this new baby comes home Hudson is going to seem so much older. I am so excited for Hudson to be a big brother. He is getting a lot of practice by caring for baby dolls we have around the house. He will hold them and pat their backs (its soooo cute) Adam hates that he loves baby dolls. I think its really cute. Hudson has been such a wonderful blessing and I just love him soooo much!

Congrats Adam!

Finally we got some good news! Adam received a letter from the school in Southern California that he was accepted to there Physical Therapy School. We are still waiting to hear from 2 other schools so we can make our decision on where we would like to go. Hopefully we have that luxury of deciding. Its so nice knowing that we will be in school this year. Congrats Adam!!!!

Getting Closer!

So Yesterday I had my Dr. appointment and everything went fine. The only thing my midwife said is that I was measuring small and she felt like I needed to have another ultrasound to make sure the baby was still growing. I was very excited to have another ultrasound, especially at 35 weeks. Adam, Hudson and I got to go right then and see our little baby again. It was so neat to see how developed he was and see more detail than before. The baby is growing fine. The tech also said that he weighs approx. 5 1/2 lbs right now and not to be concerned because he is just fine. I am just all baby I guess! I am just getting very impatient now because I am ready to meet this little guy and not be pregnant anymore! Hopefully I go early but because I want to go early you know that I won't!!!



Giving baby brother a Kiss! He's going to make such a good big brother!!!


I know my heads cut off but it was so cute that Hudson was hugging my belly.

Arizona

We had so much fun in Arizona this last week. The weather couldnt've been better. Hudson loved being outside in shorts and no shoes. I just love Arizona this time of year. Thank you Michelle and Fuz for letting us crash with you, it was a lot of fun staying with you guys. We had the opportunity to visit the Physical Therapy School that Adam applied to in Mesa. We are still waiting to hear if he was accepted or not. We are really really hoping that we get to go there for school. We are also still waiting for a few more schools to give us a yes or no. I can't wait for this process to be over and we can know where we will be living this year.
Can you believe it...I am 32 weeks! Wow this pregnancy is just flying by. I am doing great, but very ready to meet this sweet little baby. I am ready to have Hudson meet him also because I don't think I can take anymore beatings on my tummy from him. He thinks its funny to fall on me and slap my tummy. It can be kinda cute, but mostly just painful!


Hudson got to go to Peter Piper Pizza with his cousins to play


It was such a beautiful day when we went to the Arizona Temple. Hudson had a blast walking the grounds and playing around the water. The beautiful flowers were a temptation though to him.







Just to let you know Adam and I didn't mean to match!

Home sweet home!

My hubby is home from what it felt like weeks, but really it was only 6 days. His trip went really well. He met with 3 schools and feels really good about how things went when he met with them. While he was there he received an email that he got an interview at the PT school in California he applied to. FINALLY good news for us. We had to buy his ticket right away since his interview is next Wednesday. We are very excited, but we are still hoping for some more interviews. California would be fun to live since the school is about 45 min from everything fun! Its just that it would be very expensive to live there. We should be hearing from other schools in the next few weeks. I am just so happy that things are going so well for Adam and our family right now. He seems less stressed about our future. Everyone is right, Adam does deserve this blessing he has worked so hard for it.

Adam left this morning for Alabama to renew his drivers license (long story about that) anyway, and to take 3 tours and visit with some people at potential Physical Therapy Schools in Alabama. We have really been trying hard to do everything we can to get into a program this year. We already visited University of Washington in Seattle on Thursday. The visit went well, but we are doubtful about being admitted there because of the competitiveness this year. We also have a visit/tour set up in Arizona at the end of the month. All of us will be going to Mesa...yeah warm weather!!! Adam has been working so hard to get into a school for over 3 years now.We have just been praying that he will be accepted somewhere. I have never known someone who is so passionate about what they want to be. He is dedicated to doing everything in his power to get accepted. Finally a personal connection to one of the schools we applied. Everywhere kept telling us, oh you just need to know someone. Well an old friend from where he grew up his attending PT school in Mobile, Alabama. Adams mom was inspired to call this friends mom and get in touch with her and her son. Good news for us we find out that she is a PT recruiter and knows lots of people who are on the admissions boards for some of these schools. His friend also knows the head of admissions in Mobile. They both said they will talk to them and put in a great word. Adam will also meet with him while he is down there and hopefully be introduced to some IMPORTANT PEOPLE! This could be the answer to our prayers. We have been greatly blessed and I know that the Lord will continue to bless us if we continue to have faith. I will keep you posted.
