Hudson Allen Johns has arrived!

The night continued on at the hospital and things progressed quite quickly! I was finally "complete" and the room was cleared and ready for delivery at 10:50 pm. Hudson joined us into this world at 11:23pm. He weighed 6 lbs 4 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. The delivery went very well and he was very healthy. We spent Thursday night and Friday night at the hospital. The hospital stay was wonderful! The staff in Labor/Delivery, Postpartum, and the Nursery were all so great. We could not have been at a better place. Cody did an amazing job taking care of Hudson and I in the hospital too. Thank you for everyone who came to visit us and for all the sweet gifts. We left the hospital Saturday at around 4:00 pm.


Saturday night we had dinner with my mom, Roger, my dad, Stacia, and Alexis. My mom and Roger cooked a Mexican fiesta for us. We had yummy chicken and beef tacos followed by brownies and ice cream :) Hudson sleep through the entire celebration!

The first night at home went very well. I went to bed at about 11:30 or so. Hudson has been so sleepy I decided to set my alarm to feed him. Good thing I did because he did not make a peep all night! I woke him up at 1:00, 4:30, and 8:00 to eat. It was a successful night.

While we were in the hospital the pediatrician on call saw Hudson. We ended up loving her! She had great bedside manners and made us feel very comfortable. We decided to choose her as Hudson's pediatrician. We will have our first visit with her tomorrow morning.

Tonight Cody's parents will come over and join us for the Super Bowl and some pizza. Who are you cheering for? The Saints for us!!!
