Hudson is...

going to be a big brother!

We found out in May that I was expecting baby #2 by an at home pregnancy test.


We wanted to wait just a while to let everyone know. We had a doctor appointment where we saw a tiny baby that looked like a peanut. My dr told us that I was five weeks along. We were so excited we told our immediate family at 5 weeks.


At 7 weeks we heard a healthy heartbeat. We told our extended family at 8 weeks.

At 10 weeks we had a follow up appointment due to some slight complications. We heard the heartbeat again and saw baby #2 moving around like crazy. We let almost everyone else know that at this point.


Today we had our 12 week screening to check for any chromosome disorders. The baby looked so very healthy and there is virtually no risk. We also found out that there is a 95% certainty it is a....GIRL.

12 weeks with Hudson

Missouri 2011

We took our annual vacation for our family reunion June 25-July 2nd this year. Each year my step-dad's side of the family gets together on Table Rock Lake in Kimberling City, Missouri. Last year Hudson was only 5 and a half months old, so he didn't fully enjoy this company. This year was a whole different story! He is such a ham and loved the attention from all of the family members.

He did some chilling...

Pa

Nam

Some swimming...

Worked up an appetite...

Some healthy...
Some not..

He had two WHOLE ears of corn!

A little kayaking...He got to know the kayak well. He would point and say "Pa boat"

Boating...

The annual bowling tournament...We think their AC was out. It was very HOT! The name of the bowling alley is Hillbilly Bowl and Hudson fit right in with his shirt off. They had fans going everywhere which was Hudson's favorite spot to be.

The gang...
We failed to defend our championship title this year. The Thwings took home the bowling ball trophy, but...
Pa took home the highest score!

Good 'ol family fun...

Pa looks pretty silly, but it got Hudson to smile!

How fast they grow!

Summer is Here to Stay!

Game Face!

Which one is scarier???

This one...

Or this one...

For Mom, definitely #2! Although I think #1 is pretty scary for most Baylor opponents. Last night Hudson had his second bad fall. His first wasn't very well documented, but he fell off his tractor and scratched his nose pretty bad about a month ago. This is where the second incident happened...

Hudson LOVES the bath. Last night he was on his knees leaning over the edge and his hands slipped. He fell and cut his eye open pretty good. We tried to ice it, but that isn't very easy with a busy 15 month old. He looked pretty tough this morning going to daycare!

This is tonight, so you can see it's healing quickly already. I know this won't be the second or last time we have some boo boos with this boy! (P.S. you can see bottom tooth #3 in this pic)
