10 Things I Hated About This Weekend

10. Jay had to leave us for the long weekend. (But--it was totally worth it. He was able to be present at his grandmother's 90th birthday celebration. Happy Birthday Grams!)

9. Because he was out of town, Jay missed Hud's 1 month birthday. (Pics to come!)

8. Time spent with my dear friends (4+ hours) wasn't long enough. (Nor did we have enough laughs...ha!)

7. I didn't get enough pictures of these two. Can there ever be enough?

6. This was only the first time Hudson & I were invited to dinner with my mom and her girlfriends. We're crossing our fingers we'll be asked back...what lovely women!

5. Jay wasn't home for this:

Ellie got sick and pooped all over the first floor. And yes--it was runny.

4. A text from my former roomie and one of my best friends sat unnoticed for two hours. It read: "We're engaged!" And I still haven't seen her...or the ring.

3. Hudson slept through our shopping trip to Scott's Antique Market and didn't get to see all the beautiful furniture & decor.

2. My mom and I didn't get enough of It's Complicated. (Hudson & I gave it to her early for Mother's Day!) 

1. Mother's Day ended. I couldn't have asked for a better first Mother's Day. What an absolute joy it is being a mom! This has been the best month of my life...

And a Happy (belated) Mother's day to my sweet Mommy. She is the best mom a girl could ask for and I love watching her as a 1st time grandmother!

Mommy-suits

Thanks to ole' Huddy Buddy, I might not ever wear a bikini again. But who needs a bikini when Land's End has these adorable tankinis?!?! And of course, I was too slow on the draw and missed their 40% off swimwear sale last week. Sad day. But I'm determined to wait it out until they go on sale again...cross your fingers for me!

I've yet to share this with many people, but Hud gave me some wicked stretch marks around my belly button. I'm determined to make them look a little better and recently bought Mederma b/c it's the cheapest stretch mark therapy cream I can find. I'm tempted to take before & after pics to see the difference...what do you think, should I do it?!?!

I think I can...I think I can...

CRAWL!!!

That's right folks. Hudson is less than one month old, but he loves his tummy time!!! And totally frogs around like he thinks he's gonna crawl right off the mat.

Oh, and he can practically do push-ups.

My kid is such a stud.

Hudson's 1st Bath

As I changed Hudson's diaper today, he had a nice, runny shart. The perfect time for his first bath!!! (Don't worry, I've been bathing him, but have just been giving him sponge baths.) This poop required much more than sponging. :)  My dad was over, so he got to assist....thanks Dad!

 

I know a man named Michael Finnigan...

 

Did you sing that song when you took baths as a kid? Or is that a Willhite family tradition only? Comment and finish the song if you can!

The Friends & Family Plan

Hudson & I have been so lucky the past few weeks with all of our visitors!! My mom, dad and Jay's parents visit regularly, Jay's aunt Fran came to meet Hudson, friends have provided us with food, and my aunt Kay is coming at the end of the month! So even though I haven't posted daily about their visits, I have been good about getting pictures of everybody with Huddy Buddy and wanted you all to see them...
