May 16th 20011......

Our new family member, Hudson, is scheduled to bless us with his arrival on Monday, May 16th. I can not believe it's just two weeks away. Hudson is much anticipated by all, especially his big brother Braxton. I just know that Brax is going to be the best big brother there is!!! He talks about Hudson all the time and is so genuine in doing so. Brax told me the other night while I was putting him to bed "mom, I love you and I love Hudson in your belly too." Talking about melting my heart!!! I guess that brotherly love truly starts at a very early age. Jeremy & I can not wait to watch the boys grow up together. Its going to to be so much fun!!!

Me, how am I doing..... Well let's just say I am not prepared like I want to be. Hudson's room is still in process, poor little guy!!! It's getting there though. I want everything to be perfect!! This stresses me out more than anything because there is so much to think about & do. It's overwhelming. I would have never imagined having a second child, especially of the same sex, would have created this much anxiety in me. I guess I was was wrong!!!! However, I know everything will work out and God has me along with all of us in His hands taking care of us & providing for us. I just need TRUST HIM MORE and let go of worrying about the small things. Hudson will be perfect and so will everything else. My pregnancy has been very good and I am very blessed for this fact. My weight gain has been great and so has my blood pressure thus far. We were kinda of worried with this because my blood pressure elevated post delivery last go around and my doctor was worried with my fluid retention in the last two weeks of pregnancy with Brax. But so far I am doing great. I just pray that it remains this way. Like I said before; God knows what HE is doing and HE IS IN CONTROL!!!

Jeremy has been a huge help & awesome dad throughout the past nine ( even though I know I have tried his patience many times), should I expected any less??? LOL!!!! Jeremy is so excited and I think a little worried too. He doesn't want me in the hospital by myself but I have tried to explain to him that our highest priority is stability & normalcy for Brax so I want him to take care of B as much as possible during our stay at Emory! Jeremy is SO LOVING & AWESOME!!! I am such a lucky woman!!! I can not wait to see Jer with two boys. I know our family will be even greater with Hudson!

So much to do in such little time...... We will see how how it all plays out!!!!!

For now, I am just thankful to God as HE is my savior and leader of my family. I am thankful for the many way in which God has blessed me with best husband there is and incredible little boy that makes my whole life perfect. I feel God has great plans for Hudson and our soon to be family of four!!! WOW family of four, Pretty cool!

THANK YOU LORD FOR YOU MANY BLESSINGS & THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

YOU HAVE FOR ME & MY FAMILY!!!!
