overdue

Dear Hudson You were supposed to come yesterday according to the doctors. Good thing they aren't in charge :). You can come whenever you want (although sooner would be better). I got to see you today for an ultrasound. Your feet are so big! It's crazy how different you look from the last time we saw you. It was very relieving to know that you are doing just fine and have enough room and fluids. I can't wait to meet you! Love Mom

golfing

Dear Hudson Last night we went mini golfing. I think you really helped my golf game because I got 4 hole-in-ones. You're probably going to have to learn to love golf so you can go golfing with your dad and opa and grandfather. Don't worry about having to be too good. Your dad goes about once every two years. Love Mom You & Alice You & Baby Downing

finished

Dear Hudson We made it to the end of the school year. There were many times I didn't think we would make it this year. I was sad when I left my classroom yesterday for the last time, but it helps that I'm so excited to be your mommy. So thank you for not coming while I was still at school, but now you can come. Any time now. I just can't wait to kiss your little cheeks. Love Mom

Crafty

Dear Hudson,

Your mama has been crafty, and made you a mobile and letters for your nursery. Hope you like your room as much as I do!

Love,

Mom

waiting

Dear Hudson, We can't wait for you to get here. We have just about everything done. Now, we're just waiting for you to arrive. Almost 37 weeks! Sadie is watching for you.

Waiting in your room.

Lots of friends waiting in your bed.

Sadie trying out your bassinet.

37 Week belly.

Get here soon!

Love

Mom

confused

Dear Hudson, Your puppy is very confused about all the new things coming into her house. She is especially concerned about what is going on in her room. We keep telling her that it is Baby Hudson's room now, but I don't think she gets it yet. Why do we have a new chair? Is this a new bed for me? Looks comfy! Love, Mom

taco johns

Dear Hudson, I have great news! There is a Taco Johns in Colorado Springs. You see, while in Wisconsin at Christmas, all I wanted was Potato Oles. I had them a few times and made Daddy find them in Nebraska on our way back. Just this week I was thinking about how I could get some more in a few weeks when we go back. Today, as I was driving around with Melissa, I saw a Taco Johns. I got so excited and of course we had to stop. The Potato Oles were so yummy. This could turn into quite a bad thing. Good thing I didn't discover this earlier in the pregnancy. Love, Mom
