Three Weeks Old!

Another week has flown by, holy cow! Hudson is getting chubbier by the minute. He is awake a lot more now than he used to be which is great because we can see his beautiful blue eyes. We have both been peed on plenty of times so we are fully initiated into parenthood. He is starting to make more little noises, one of which is a high pitched screech. I call him a little pterodactyl. :) His other nickname is the bottomless pit. He is always eating! There is a big debate over who he looks more like. I think he looks a lot like me and, not surprisingly, Jacob thinks he looks more like him. Here are both our baby pictures and some more of Hudson. What does everyone think?

Here is baby Jakey.

Funny that he sucks the same two fingers!

Here is baby Lauren. Aren't I so cute?!

Hudson, deep in thought.

They sleep just the same!

All snuggly in his sling.

Two Weeks Old!

I can't believe that it has already been two weeks since Hudson was born. It really has flown by. He has changed so much since he was born. Every day I look at him and he looks different. He now weighs 7# 3 oz. and is still 20 inches long. He was 19 inches last week because his conehead shrunk and made him shorter. He has a normal belly button now, thank goodness. That umbilical cord stump creeped me out. He is a great little eater just like his daddy. I think he looks more like me now than he did at first which makes me really happy. He hates getting baths but otherwise he's pretty content all the time. I am hoping to fatten him up so he can be a cute little chubbers like Jacob and I both were. Minus the skinny skinny Jensen ankles of course. :)

Hudson's first bath.

I love this picture because he is holding onto his binky.

I love the blanket that mama made me!

I am actually awake!

My two boys. :)


Jacob has found another use for my Boppy pillow.

Welcome baby Hudson!

Life definitely has a way of surprising me. Two hours after I blogged my last post, my water broke! I guess the little guy did not want to wait till the 7th. He wanted to be born on Auntie Jenn's birthday. :) Hudson Charles Jensen was born January 6th at 11:48pm, weighing a whopping 6 pounds and 6 ounces, ha ha, and was 20 inches long. All the nurses kept telling me that I did great for my first baby which makes me proud. He is such a great blessing in our lives, even if our sleep time has been cut in half, if not more. We can't wait to see him grow and learn!

My Last Day of Freedom

Today is officially my last day without a child. I haven't done anything super exciting, just cleaned the house for the thousandth time. Gotta be ready! I go to the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:30 to be induced, seeing as how my son, in typical Jensen family tradition (our part of it anyway, ha ha) is late! I sort of figured that he would be. It really hasn't bothered me that much but I can't wait to sleep on my back and roll on my stomach! I really have missed it. I can't wait to see what he looks like too! I hope he looks like me at least a little bit. Wish me luck, I am kind of scared of labor!
The before picture, and, what I plan to look like immediately after giving birth. ha ha



The full-term belly, in all its glory. :)

What?! 2009?

My how time flies! It is already a new year. For New Year's, Jacob and I went over to our friends Justin and Sarah's house. We ate lots of yummy food and played ping pong where you run around the table. They were all hoping that I would go into labor and have the New Year baby, but no such luck. It was really fun to get everyone together. We probably won't be doing that as much after the baby comes and we are trapped in our house. ha ha Hope everyone has a great year this year! There are good things to come, I can feel it!
