Hudsons Room

So, Hudsons room is now completely finished! It required lots of help from our family since I am on bedrest. Andy was a trooper, and spent lots of time doing all of the things that I couldn't do. Both of our moms contributed by sewing, decorating, and organizing his stuff. It's bright, fun, and turned out exactly how I envisioned it! It is so relieving to have it finished, especially since Hudson seems so impatient and ready to come meet his family!



In other news I am 31 weeks now! We have made great progress since 22 weeks when I was in the hospital. Hudson seems to be doing great and growing. I have been having more contractions but they still seem to be responding pretty well to the medicine. The doctor did a test today that predicts the chance of the baby coming in the next two weeks and it was negative! So, it seems like Hudson will be staying put for at least a little while longer! Here is a pic of the growing belly:

3d/4d Ultrasound

Last Tuesday I had my weekly check-up at the perinatologist. Everything went very well. I don't have gestational diabetes, was mildly anemic, and Hudson seems to be growing and doing very well! He now weighs a whole 2 pounds, 1 ounce! The contractions have been at a minimal so everything is as good as can be expected. The office had a new ultrasound they were testing and thinking about buying so they used us as a guinea pig because Hudson was actually being really good! They did an ultrasound for almost an hour looking over every inch of the baby and gave us some great 3d pictures. It was so incredible to get a glance of his face and what he will look like. He is going to be so precious! I just need these next few months to pass quickly because we're all dying to meet him (but really want him to stay in for now!).
