Holy moly, Mackenzie and I will be parents in about 2 weeks!! We’re very ready to welcome Hudson into the world. However I would still love to have an October baby. My mother’s father was born 100 years ago on October 2nd. Hudson, that would be an awesome day to be born, 10-2-2009. That’s a week and a day away from today, you can stay in there another week, little man.
Had a midwife appointment yesterday afternoon. It’s the longest we had to wait. Got into the room for my vitals; weight and BP, but then waited and waited and waited. They wanted to monitor the fetal movements, but the room was in use the entire time. We felt that he’s been quite active and passed up the test; yesterday; but the midwife still wanted to record something so I’m coming back in on Friday afternoon. Boo to that. Oh well. I’m measuring 39.5; not bad. Did find out that I tested positive for strep-B. Will have to be on antibiotics so as not to give Hudson an infection that he can’t fight off. Oh well.
I had a Braxton-Hicks contraction for almost 2 hours straight last night. Not painful, but not comfortable either. Mac, lovely partner of mine, swept and vacuumed the entire house. So much for “us” cleaning last night. I did go through our pile of mail, so I wasn’t a complete doof.
We recorded Hudson moving in my belly. I hope the link to facebook works.

We received our stroller/jogger this past Friday. Used the gift cards we received from the showers to purchase the matching jogger to our infant seat. (Baby Trend – Expedition – Columbia) It’s very nice; however because of Paulie’s bike accident a year ago, she needs some training. The first night Mommy Mac did some positive association training. (see pix) We keep it in the living room but have also taken the jogger on our walks. Paulie is a little apprehensive, but at least she isn’t barking at it nor struggling to walk beside it.
Mac took peanut butter and a piece of kibble and put it on the stroller's fender. Paulie loves PB!

Pop-Pop and I are sooooooooo anxious to meet Hudson! We are doing something every day to get ready for our trip to Minnesota! We want to be prepared to leave ASAP when Mommy Mac calls on the way to the hospital.
Love, Nana
