Hudson's First Week

Hudson's First Easter


Bouncer Time

Cuddling with daddy

Hudson's first week has been fun for all of us. He is so easy going and happy. We feel so blessed to have this sweet boy in our lives. He sleeps most of the day for three or four hours at a time. When he's not sleeping he is eating...and this boy can EAT. He has already gained back most his birth weight. At the postpartum appointment the nurse was amazed by his weight and his feeding schedule. It's a lot of work...but so rewarding.

Hudson Has Arrived!

Our little model

On Friday March 21st at 10:01pm Hudson Douglas Cowan blessed our lives. We have been home from the hospital for 24 hours and we already can't imagine our life without him. He is perfect in every way.

Due Date Update

Today is my due date and as of right now...no Hudson. I went to the doctor this afternoon and she told me that I am dilated 1.5 centimeters. If I don't go into labor naturally by Tuesday the 25th I will be induced starting at 8:00 am. I really hope that I don't make it that far. I don't mind being induced, I just want to meet my BABY NOW! The good news is that my doctor is the one on call all weekend. So if Hudson decides to come over the weekend she will be the one to deliver him.

Other than that I'm trying to rest and relax. I will keep you all posted if anything changes.

Pray for contractions!

One more week...

I have one more week until my due date. I can't believe it! I feel like time has gone by so fast. I also feel like the last two weeks were as long as the first eight months. Still I loved being pregnant! I found it to be the most amazing experience. I have no problem saying that I will do this again. Not right away though :).

We are packed and ready for the hospital. Most likely the next posting will be pictures from there!

Heidi & John

38 Weeks

My parents were here for the weekend and my dad is flying home today. He will fly back as soon as I go into labor. My mom will be staying with us for about a month. It all depends on when Hudson comes. Then the plan is for Hudson and I to go back to Spokane with her for a few days. I feel so lucky to have such supportive parents that love to help in any way.
John's parents will also be coming home from Palm Springs on the 19th (unless Hudson arrives before). We are hoping to all celebrate Easter together as a family. Yes...Hudson has an Easter basket waiting for him...just in case he's here.

For the next week I plan to enjoy time with my mom and relax. We will be pampering ourselves with manicures, pedicures, massages and shopping...my last chance for a long time.

I'll try to keep you all updated and hopefully soon I will be posting pictures of HUDSON!

XOXO

Hudson's Room

Hudson's room is so close to being done. I'm only waiting on the cushions for his glider. I hope they get here soon...since he will be here soon. His room turned out exactly how I wanted it. It's soft and relaxing, but still a little boys room. I have to give BIG thank you to my mom. She did most of the work. I can't wait to bring him home!
