ONE!!!

Tomorrow is the day. Hudson Rhyder Quintana will be a year old. And mommy will be an emotional wreck. (In a good way, if that's possible.) This time last year Cody and I were as best prepared to bring a baby into this world as we could be. We had a nice dinner at Outback last year, double checked our hospital bags and tried to get as much rest as possible. (No such luck) At 5:00am we arrived at the hospital ready to meet our son. 12, long, very long, some stressful, some peaceful hours later we were told I was at a 10 and it was time!!! And at that very moment I knew that my child was going to be stubborn. Pushing was endless and it felt like I couldn't push any longer and was out of energy. Dr. Doke told me his head was in a weird position and was unable to get a good grasp on him. C-section it was. I was terrified. Thankfully my family and husband were there to calm my nerves (and some very awesome drugs.) At 9:35 pm August 31, 2009 we had a bouncing, handsome, sweet angel baby boy!!!!!!

This past year has been so very amazing....can't wait for many more.

Saturday is the BIG party!! Pictures to follow =)

It's the little things..

Hudson & I have been up since 5:00 am this morning and after ONE cup of coffee, a bowl of honey nut cheerios and two chess men cookies, hearing "Word of God Speak" on air1, and having my husband tell me when I got in his truck that I "looked so beautiful this morning" this is one of the best days that I will remember forever! I guess little man just wanted to play at such an early hour this morning. After about an hour of having his toys strung all over the house and dancing around like a maniac, he wore himself out and let me cuddle him (which is rare because he refuses to sit still unless he's exhausted or sick) He then fell asleep on my chest for about 45 min. It brought back so many memories of him being a newborn and after his morning feedings we would both fall back asleep on the couch.

ONE WEEK from today my angel baby will be ONE year old!! (I am such a mom, I held back tears just typing that. Ughhh)
What a blessed day it has been. Even through the chaos and craziness of our lives, I love finding the time to enjoy the simple things and take in all of God's glory! God is good all the time<3

A little bit of baby humor :-}

Birthday countdown has begun

20 days and my little tiny newborn handsome baby will be ONE YEAR OLD. The most amazing year that I have experienced. Cody and I have shared so many magical moments being a mother & father and our relationship has become even stronger and greater over the past year. Hudson is a true miracle and such a blessing, he amazes me every day!!!

HRQ one day old.

Play date with Cameron. 8-6-10

He's 11 months and Cam is 6 months

He is officially walking all over the place!! He's learned to make a fist and knock on doors and windows to get someones attention. Waves byebye backwards ;-)

Gives kisses and rests his head on your shoulder when he wants a hug. Loves babies and is so curious about them. Enjoys playdates of all kinds. Facinated with puppies/dogs. He is on the never ending list at Midland College Daycare and we hope to get a spot with in the next few years =)

Climbing on everything and being such a BOY!

Find Hudson!

Can't wait for his birthday party!!!!!!!!!!!
