Week 39: 9/23/12-9/29/12

Sunday, September 23rd: Today we're saying goodbye to Georgia and making the drive back to NC.  It's about 5.5 hours to Mimi's house, a quick loving for Pop, then a little over an hour back to see Daddy after nearly 2 weeks!

Monday, September 24th: Hudson is a master at pulling himself up on everything now, no matter what, where, how high, or what strange angle he started in, but he seems the most thrilled when he does it in the bathtub.  He still loves Daddy's toothbrush (only that one, not mine, not the one we specifically bought him, just Daddy's), so I'm hoping this is the beginning of some really great hygiene.

Tuesday, September 25th: Today's picture caused quite a stir on FB... I promise that he was 100% supervised, that our house is baby-proofed and that he's constantly watched like a hawk.  That being said, we DO let him explore, even things that are considered traditionally "off limits" - don't tell me how to raise my child and I'll let you lose yours without scathing remarks, kay? >.<

Wednesday, September 26th: Ethan came to play with us today, so Hudson was thrilled!  After both boys had a pretty decent nap, I decided to trek out with them both, lol. Though, honestly, it was harder to push the double stroller than it was to carry them both.  Just need to get my practice in :)  Then we had our first OB visit where we convinced the midwife that we needed to be considered high risk again (for the lawsuit mostly) and started the bloodwork - ick!  She said she thinks I might be a little further along than we'd originally thought (or my uterus is just a little larger than normal) so we're having an ultrasound next week to be sure of where we're at.

Thursday, September 27th: Hudson had a ROUGH night last night.  He woke up around 1145 and just couldn't get back to sleep.  He wouldn't let go of Nate and wouldn't let me out of his sight; didn't want to cuddle, nurse, come to bed with us, walk, rock... then he finally fell asleep around 2 and got up a few more times before deciding that 7 was it, no more sleep, and no more quiet.  He screamed until about 11 when he fitfully crashed (see below) for 3 hours.  When he woke up, he was still out of sorts, but I'm hoping that tonight will be better.

Friday, September 28th: Hudson just loves to work out with Daddy in the mornings before work!  I talked to Grammy today about when they're all leaving tomorrow and the word is super early, so we'll be packing up here in a minute and heading to Raleigh to say goodbye.

Saturday, September 29th: Saying goodbye to Grammy (again) this morning.  She's moving to Minnesota with her brother and sister-in-law.  While we're happy that she'll be around her siblings, it's tough for us since she's lived either with or near us for the last 12 years.
