Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Hudson, Camden, and Harper

Last week my sister and Camden came!  It was the BEST present in the entire world.  I was having HORRIBLE Camden withdrawals.   I was aching to see him.  So needless to say it was pure JOY having my sweet nephew here for an entire week (my sister too).  Hudson and Harper loved it.  It is so sweet to me because I can just imagine our lives in a few short months when I watch Hudson and Harper interact with Camden .  It thrills me to see the 2 of them love on Cam so much.

Matt has been traveling more than usual lately, & with me on moderate bed rest -it just hasn't been the best situation.  I still almost laugh when they tell me to 'take it easy' when I have 2 very busy kids.  I'm doing the best I can.  We are making it tho...one week at a time.

Matt was in San Francisco for 3 days last week, so it was really nice having the company and help while he was away.  {He has 2 more SF trips coming up all within a months time, & we had to cancel my going with him due to my current bp situation.  BOO!}

Last week we really did not do a whole lot.  One day we did get out and take the kids to get their pictures taken at a nearby pumpkin patch.  There were several pictures that I love.  I am so excited for our sweet little Holt-man to be in our pictures.  The excitement is almost unbearable for all of us.

In other news while I have been spending so much time in bed I have not been on my computer to blog.  My sweet man bought me a Macbook last week for an early 30th birthday present.  He is too good to me.  Needless to say I have been trying to figure out this whole Mac thing.  It has realllllly been frustrating because I want to know how to do it all-TODAY- and not have to go thru a learning curve.  I'm slowly but surley getting there.  I do love it tho.

One BIG thing I want to accomplish while hanging out in bed is to start the process on making my blog into a book.  I'm at my 5 year anniversary this month and feel it's really time to do it.  I haven't figured out how to work Blurb (any advice?), but I'm trying.  It's almost too overwhelming when you have blogged this long & then to go back and edit entries from 5 years ago.  I am loving it though, reading about my baby boy Hudson.  It feels like yesterday.

Camden 10 weeks old

 Health news?  Well, I had my apt with the perinatalogist last week and it went well.  Holton was just as precious as could be during the sonogram.  He weighed in at 2 lbs and 26 wks & looked perfect.  My bp is good enough to where I don't have to be on any medication yet, so that is good.  I just have to keep on doing what I am doing -which is practically nothing...but that is ok if that means we'll both be healthy.  I tell you what though- I sure cannot WAIT until January and we can meet our sweet boy, and I can be active again.   Staying in bed when you feel great is a challenge for sure.

Matt's mom is coming soon and we are going to tackle Holton's nursery.  She is going to paint both of the boys rooms.  Hudson is so excited.  I am excited to have all 3 kiddos rooms complete.  I think they will be adorable.  Pictures to come once it's all complete!!
