Our little man arrived on January 5th 2010 at 9:55 am. He is definitely a gift sent straight from God. Hudson is the biggest blessing we have ever received and we praise God everyday for giving us this gift. You hear people say things like "it's love at first sight" and "you will love him SO much", but you just don't understand until your own child arrives. The love we have for him is amazing & unimaginable!!
I know I'm late getting all of this on here but I want to include all of the details of his birthday before I forget. This is REALLY LONG but it is also something I want to remember forever!!
- We had a scheduled c-section so we knew ahead of time that he would be here the 5th.
- I worked half a day on the 4th and then came home to "prepare". I don't think I ever remember a time when I was THAT nervous. Nick had to work late so I just sat here by myself (along with the 2 million thoughts that kept running through my head). This is a picture of me that day---my last day being pregnant. Bittersweet, that's for sure!
- We had to be at the Baptist Hospital in Memphis at 7:30 a.m.-- We were SO anxious so we left at about 5:30. We dropped Ace off at my parents house & we were on our way! It was SO cold that morning, I think it was 15 degrees when we left.
- Once we got to the hospital, they took me back to a room to get prepared (monitors, IVs, etc). I have never been in the hospital before so all of this was completely new.
- I am not generally a really calm person, I'm usually kind of ancy & ADD in those type of situations. But we prayed together that morning, I remained calm & focused throughout the whole procedure. Probably the most terrifying time for me was when they took me back for anesthesia & Nick has to wait outside. I felt much better once he got in there.
- The one thing I kept worrying about was what if I feel something whent they start the surgery? I didn't feel a bit of pain, only pressure. Praise God!
- Most of the surgery was a blur, however, I remember the exact second Hudson was born so vividly. I specifically remember looking into Nick's eyes when he bent down and told me how beautiful our boy was...I knew right then & there that our lives would never be the same. Hearing him cry for the first time was the most amazing sound!!
- After everything was complete in the OR they wheeled us down to recovery. This is when I got to hold him for the first time!
- We had to spend about 2 hours in recovery before our family to see him! There was a waiting room full of people just dying to lay their eyes on Hudson!!! We couldn't wait to show him off either. Nick kept texting out to the waiting room pictures & info!!!
Finally they all got to come in and see him....
