1 month old
Miles is 1 month old now. He is such a sweet baby and very loved by his siblings!! He doesn't cry a lot, but when he does, Daphne and Calvin run in his direction to try to make him feel better. It is just to cute! The other day when I was in the kitchen finishing make breakfast for the kids and Miles was in the playmat, he started to cry and Calvin kneel down by him and said "why sad baby? I tickle you" haha I thought it was adorable. Daphne is my big helper, always taking care of both of her brothers, she is awesome!
Miles started to smile two days after he turned a month old, it is so cute, but he doesn't do that often.
I took him to the doctor to check his weight since he lost so much. He is 9lbs 5 oz and 21 3/4 in long.

Back to School Feast
Since Daphne is starting Kindergarten this week, we decided to do a "back to school feast" yesterday. We had a Hawaiian theme decoration and the kids loved it. First we had dinner, then we talked about school and read a book (You are special). After that Andrew gave her a blessing for the school year and it was really special.
First day of Kindergarten
Today (26) was Daphne's first day of school and she couldn't wait to go. She is in the afternoon class with Miss Eckhardt. She already knows 3 other friends from church that are in her class too.
Andrew didn't have a lot of work today, so he came early and we went together to school. We stayed there for a few minutes, then we left. I was so excited for her, but at the same time it was hard for me to believe that she is already starting Kindergarten.
When we went to pick her up, she was all excited telling me all about her first day. I sure do love my little princess and I'm excited for her new adventures.

2 weeks old check up
Monday (17th) I took Miles to his doctor appointment and his measurements are:
Length: 20 1/2 in
Weight: 7 lbs 13 oz
That means that he lost a lot weight since he was born (He was 9 lbs 4 oz). I almost cried in front of the doctor, because I knew something was wrong. I found out that I don't have enough milk to feed him and I have to start supplementing him with formula. The same thing happened with Calvin, but he never lost that much weight. It sucks to know that your body is not enough to provide for your baby, but I'm glad we are able to help him grow healthy and strong.

Calvin is here - birth story (finally)
My handsome little boy is here!! We named him Calvin Leroy Hudson and he is so precious.
I had my last doctor appointment on Friday (18) and I was 4 cm dilated, I had contractions during the whole weekend, but they were on and off. We had schedule my induction to Monday, so we woke up early and left for the hospital at 5:30 a.m. Daphne stayed at home with Andrew's mom. We got at the hospital and had to finish all the paperwork and then I went to the labor floor and we met a really nice nurse and she took us to the labor room and we started the IV and she check me and I was 5 cm. I had to wait for about an hour until they started the pitocin. I was already having contractions, but I wasn't really felling pain, so I decided to wait to ask for the epidural. We waited for a wile, my contractions started to get stronger, my doctor went to check on me and I was 6 cm dilated and he asked me if I wanted him to break my water and I said yes, he said it was going to be uncomfortable and I could wait until I had have the epidural first, but I didn't want to wait. So we decided to do that and the anesthesiologist got in the room just a few minutes after that, the doctor then went and broke my water and it was a strange feeling all the water coming out hehe it was a little painful but not that bad. Then right after that we started the epidural, but it was kind strange because I really wasn't in pain yet, but I knew that after my water broke I didn't want to wait to long and then not be able to get the epidural.
Rita and Daphne got in the hospital right after I had the epidural and it was so nice to have then with us, we talked and Daphne was so excited to see her baby brother. They stayed with us for about an hour, then they decided to go somewhere to eat. When they left the nurse came to check me and I was 8 cm dilated and I was so excited to hear that. Then 15 minutes later she came back and I was 9 cm dilated, so we decided to call Rita so they would be there when baby was born. Before that I hadn't decided if Daphne would be there or not during delivery, but in that moment I wanted her there. Around 10 minutes later the doctor (Doctor Warner) came to check me and I was already 10 cm e totally effaced, I couldn't believe how fast everything happened after he broke my water. He told the nurse to prepare the room and everything, so when Rita and Daphne came back everything was almost ready.
Then the nurse got me ready and in the next contraction the doctor asked me to push and I did, after 2-3 contractions the baby's head wasn't coming to fast so he told the nursery nurse to go and they would let her know when the baby was coming. I asked the nurse for a mirror so i could see the baby being born. So, on every contraction I had to push and Daphne was the one counting until 10, it was great that they made her part of what was happening. I pushed for about 15-20 minutes and then he was there, I saw his little face for the first time, Andrew got to cut the umbilical cord, the baby cried and of course I started to cry too :)
He was 20 inches long and weighted 8 lbs 14 oz and he was just perfect. When I got to hold him, I noticed that he looks a lot like Daphne when she was a newborn.
The labor was a lot faster, less painful and in the end I had another little angel in my arms.

39 weeks doctor appointment
Yesterday I had a doctor appointment. Baby's heartbeat was 145 bpm, my belly was measuring 40 weeks and we found out that baby moved again :( I had to have another ultrasound and we saw that the baby's head was in my right hip and his shoulder was on my pelvis. We decided to go to the hospital on Thursday at noon and I'll be admitted. The plan is to get there and have a ultrasound and see where the baby is, if he is back in the right position, they will induce me. But if is still in the wrong position, they will try to turn him and if succeed, then they will brake my water and start induction. And the last option is if nothing works or something go wrong, I will have a c section done.
I'm praying that everything is going to go well and my baby and me are going to be healthy and that we are going to have an amazing day. I can't wait to meet my baby boy, soon he will be in my arms.
