*I forgot to add this post earlier, so I don't forget when I go to scrapbook these photos* Ryan's parents brought Porter up to the h...

Porter: Hudson:

He shall be dubbed Hudson Riley Barczak. Strange... I keep thinking of him as "Riley." Which is just odd for me as we've alwa...

Yep, we still do not have a middle name for him. I think right now its between Hudson Oliver and a new one... Hudson Riley. Ryan pulled that...

Its 5:22am. I have to be a the hospital between 6:15 and 6:30am. I'll update as soon as I can.

I am in a little disbelief that tomorrow at this time I'll be in the hospital in labor. I'm extremely nervous this time around. Wi...

Well, we thought tonight might be the night. I started having contractions around 6pm, and they were about every 2-7 minutes. At 6:30 Ryan...

I've been having contractions since yesterday afternoon... nothing regular. The closest they were was about 15 min apart last night. I...

I went in for my appointment today and she said "Ok lets see... 37weeks 5 days" I cringed and made a face. UGH! So she says she...

Or... maybe almost 38 Week picture... according to the measurements of the freaking gestational sac at 5 weeks. Why did I open my big mouth?...

Oooh I am getting so excited to have Hudson here. I can't wait to see him and see what and who he looks like and see how Porter reacts ...

Nevermind the fact that we'll be moving somewhere (who knows where!) shortly after Hudson's arrival... but I feel like I have arrive...

I had my "37 week" appointment today. Turns out they have my due date as June 1st. That blows! Why do they have it as June 1st,...

For the past day or so, I thought Hudson was moving and stretching out weird. Usually if I'm laying down and I roll to my other side (w...

I cant' believe we're a month (or hopefully less) away from meeting Hudson! I feel like this pregnancy has been somewhat surreal......

"Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds ( pick up a...

Very very uneventful. Especially seeing I didn't gain ANYTHING this past 2 week period! She actually said it looked like I lost a tiny...

Ahhh... that third trimester swelling. I've been trying to ignore my fingers which are beginning to swell like sausages. If I don't...

Does anyone have any advice for preparing Porter for his new brother? Any neat things we should do for/with him to get him used to the idea...

I have to keep checking my little ticker in the sidebar to remember how far I am. All I know is I have 5 weeks and a few days left. Hallel...

I decided to take some pictures while our house looks orderly... here are a few of Hudson's room. I'm not finished with his letters....

We weren't able to get many decent shots of Hudson today (well, we got one single "ok" image) but that's ok. He was smoos...

Oh lord... OH LORD... where do I start? I had my 32 week appointment this morning. First, though, Porter and I had to go to the Diagnostic C...

Hudson still does not have a middle name. We really haven't even discussed it lately. I figure with a tad over 7 weeks to go (and cros...

These past few weeks have been uncomfortable and painful. I'm so so so ready to just have Hudson here and have our little family of fou...

I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday... quickest one I've ever had! Dr. P was on his way up to L&D so he was kind of in a r...

Mr. Hudson is quite the active child. He is all over the last few days... kicking and turning and poking every part of my insides. I can b...

These BIBS! Such cute bibs! Turtle in pebbles Sweet Pea Bundle Reversible Guitar Bib Goliath Monster Belly

A bit ago I posted about some baby items that I was wanting/needing. One of those was a diaper bag- one that would be somewhat practical fo...

Not much exciting going on here. So far this pregnancy has been pretty uneventful, thankfully. Hudson has been moving around like a madman....

Just a few videos I found on YouTube (no, neither of these are my belly). I got addicted tonight LOL! Thought I'd share.

As of now, his name is Hudson. Hudson with no middle name. I absolutely can not get Ryan to budge on Sullivan, although I adore the name. ...

Ok, before I tell the name..... here are two letters from the first name. Can you guess?

Did I mention that I covered a lampshade in the Zoo fabric?

I finally decided on what to paint for the baby's room. For Porter's nursery, I painted an airplane painting. For P's big boy r...

Well, this was by far the most depressing doctors appointment I've had thus far. Ok, I shouldn't be THAT dramatic... because everyt...

Just a random little update. --Last night Porter and I took a trip to Westland (about an hour away) to pick up this: Tracy, I believe, comme...

Luckily, with having another baby boy, we don't have too much stuff to have to purchase. The child has more clothes than he can possibl...

Today I tackled some sewing projects for the baby's room. Project #1: a pillow, inspired by these pillows (that are way too expensive ...

Ok, I guess I should start journaling a little better with this pregnancy. Starting Monday I began having these terrible inner thigh/leg joi...

And... a progression so far.... Oh man... 12 weeks looks soo.... skinny. And I thought I was pudgy then. HA!
