A Sassy Utterance: What a month will teach you

Being a mom is fabulous. I've learned a few things.

For the rest of my life, any baby shower I go to, I will take a pack of diapers. Always. Good gosh we've gone through so many so quickly and I'm so glad for the TWO diaper showers we had. Wowza.
I never realized how much life can revolve around when a human being eats, poops, or pees. "When was the last time he ate?" "Was it just wet or did he poop?" Life changing, I tell ya. And yet, it no longer matters if I get to eat or bathe. ha.
Sleep? What's that? Okay, okay, I can't talk too bad about this part. Hudson sleeps really well. But, just the new type of sleep I get does take a toll. It's weird, this new tired. He sleeps about four hours at a time and when he wakes up at night we're only up for about 30 minutes and that includes eating, changing, getting back to sleep, etc. I think I'm pretty lucky here, but I still feel beat some days. My favorite sleep? When he falls asleep on my chest in the mornings. It's pure perfection.
Someone really needs me. Just these past few days I've gotten to experience the amazing feeling of being his number one preference. We've been busy (Kyle and I have always been a busy couple) and when Hudson has just had enough and he's a little unsettled, all he wants is for me to snuggle him tight. In the beginning, he loved for anyone to hold him tight up close to their neck, but the past couple days (after being passed around a lot or being in that dumb ole car seat a lot) all that settles him is being close to me. ME! Man, that's just an amazing feeling.

Hudson's last appointment was on Wednesday, March 21st and he was doing great. He's a whopping 10lb 4 oz and healthy as can be. We're still hanging out just us two and it's the best. Not looking forward to going back to work in May - thankfully it's just four weeks and then I'll be back home for summer!!! Below: some of the favorite Hudson faces. :)
