Hi all,
Well the dust is settling and we're getting more used to having 2 kids! Hudson is doing well. He still sleeps a lot and doesn't nurse real well. But he's a pretty content baby. In his first week, he was only waking once during the night. But now he is waking more & since I've started back to work, Hannah is pulling the night duty. She is doing really well handling everything! She said she doesn't even feel like she is lacking sleep... though at the end of the day she is tired. Hannah has already pushed Hudson around the neighborhood in the stroller & gone grocery shopping (with Raegan, Hannah's recovery was much slower).
Hannah took Hudson to the doctor this morning because his left eye kept having some goop in it. Also, his breathing still sounds kind of weezy. And he threw-up a good bit the other night.
The Pediatrician said he has a blocked tear duct that is causing the goop. It should go away and we can help by massaging the tear duct. (it seems to have already resolved itself). Also... his breathing sound is a little acid reflux. Raegan had that too. If it gets worse, they'll prescribe something for it.
Otherwise, his health is good and Hudson seems to be a little more alert than he was a week ago. He weighed in at 9lb 4oz. So he is gaining weight really well!
Here is a picture of Hannah with Hudson.
OK... just kidding that is actually not Hudson. That is our friend Barbara's son, Luke, who came over to meet Hudson. Luke is about 7 months old (I think).
Here is a slideshow of some pictures of Hudson and some of the many friends who have come by to see Hudson. We have had so many people bring us food and they're still coming! We are surrounded by awesome people! And I'm getting fat!
Many have asked how Raegan is handling being a big sister. We think she is doing great. She loves him and doesn't seem to mind sharing him with us. She has her 2 year old moments but we don't think it has anything to do with Hudson. This slideshow will show you just how cool Raegan is right now (at least the 1st few pictures show that).
Some people have asked how Hudson's room turned out. We didn't do anything fancy... but here are some pictures of his room.
One last picture to share and truthfully Hannah probably wishes I wouldn't post this. But Raegan had school pictures done a couple weeks ago. I knew Raegan wasn't really happy with having her picture taken that day but I was still hopeful we had a good shot. When they were giving out the pictures at the daycare, I was standing with a couple of my friends who also have kids there. Their pictures looked perfect. Then I opened-up Raegan's picture and it broke my heart - she is on the verge of crying in the picture. But it's the kind of picture you still like to look at because it moves your heart. (Raegan really is a happy kid despite the picture below).

Below is her classroom picture. You can see she still wasn't thrilled - she's sucking her thumb!
Hopefully we can share some more pictures of Hudson soon!
