Baby Hudson is here!!!

I went to bed the night of the 27th. I was having contractions all night but kept rolling over thinking "oh they'll just go away again". Around 4:30 am I was doubled over the side of my bed in pain. I got in the shower to get ready for work, thinking the contractions will stop of I get in the shower just like last time. I dried my hair and even put on make-up through all of this. I told Chris if I have two more contractions like this we were going to the hospital. We got in the car and on the freeway I didn't feel anything. As soon as we got to I-15 they were non stop. As we parked at the hospital I could barely walk. We got to the nurse's desk and I was so afraid they would send me home but they put me in a room to check me and told me I was dilated to a 6/7 and that earned me a delivery room. I got an epidural and an IV around 6:30 or so and Hudson was born at 12:47pm December 28th. He weighed 7lbs. 10 oz. and was 19 inches long. We are so happy!

A merry little Christmas

Chris and I have realized that this will be our last Christmas alone. It's been quiet. Chris got up and made breakfast and then we opened the gifts. We laid around and watch netflix then took the dogs for a walk. We came home and uploaded the photos and it's only noon. I can't wait to hear from Nautica after she opens her gifts from us at grandma's house. We hope you all have had a merry Christmas as well.

The annual Urology Christmas party

More of the ladies.




I ended up going home with the white elephant gift I had brought to the party. (note the t-shirt) I picked it out because it is something we say in the O.R. all of the time. My co-workers saw it funny that I got it in the end.

Dog days of Christmas

We found the head gear for Dog's Christmas shoot today! It went much better than I expected. Chris set up the camera in the living room and we had the dog treats and dog toys ready for bribing!  I liked how they turned out! So much that they made it on our Christmas cards.

Let it snow!

We've barely left the house today! It has been snowing from sun up to sun down! We both started to go stir crazy so we bundled up and took the dogs for a walk around the block. Sure was pretty outside. I'm also lucky that I have winter coat I can zip up over my HUGE belly!

Family time in St. George

Chris and I hadn't been south since late August! We decided that since I won't be able to travel far from the hospital soon we'd better get down to see Nautica and the family. Chris got some time to hang with my dad and work on his car. I got to spend time with Nautica, my mom, and my sister. Sewing and shopping and snuggling with my sister's new baby, Parker. Sunday before we headed back we took Nautica to the Jubilee of Trees. It really got me in the mood to come home and put up our Christmas decor.

A baby shower

Best shower cake ever! Thanks for everything Krystle!

Love these ladies!
