Alright, so I dropped the ball on doing the bump updates. My bad!!! We had so much going on with renovations to the house, trying to get everything set up for little Hudson's nursery and dealing with pregnancy. But, I decided I would do an overall update to catch everyone up.
Pregnancy overall for me has been pretty difficult. I have had my fair share of ups and downs, so I am really looking forward to the end. We had a scare around 34 weeks and ended up being sent to labor and delivery to be monitored... but everything is okay and the doctor told me I just need to take it easy. I was having sporadic contractions - and a few other weird things going on... but anyways, they were able to confirm that baby was doing fine after many hours of monitoring and an ultrasound. Unfortunately, we found out he is still breech. He has been breech for almost the entire pregnancy. So, we are praying that he will flip by next Monday at our 36 week appointment. I'm really nervous that I may end up with a c-section, but I will do whatever is best for my little man.
We finally finished our nursery!!! I'll post about it in a separate blog post, so make sure to check it out!
The last few months have been full of fun stuff... here are some pictures to catch up! My last blog post was January 2016... so I figured it would be best to put the highlights from each month since then...

23 Weeks: We started building an additional closet in our house, so that we could turn my "dressing room" into Hudson's nursery and I would still have a place to sit and get ready and have all my stuff. We ended up putting mirror doors on the outside and we LOVE the way that it turned out. Two of my uncles, Jerry and Larry, along with Andy worked really hard to make the closet perfect for me. I'm so grateful for all of their help!
24 Weeks
25 Weeks: These photos are from Valentine's Day. Andy and I went out to celebrate at the Melting Pot in Birmingham. We had so much fun. Andy surprised me with roses on our table and chocolate covered strawberries, (one of my favorite desserts!). I love spending time with my amazing husband and celebrating our love. This was our first Valentine's Day as a MARRIED couple! <3 (and our last without needing to find a babysitter!!)
27 weeks: We were about to paint the nursery a light mint color (called sliced cucumber) so I wanted to take a picture in front of my bright yellow walls!!!) I had my dressing room painted this color so that when I went in it to get ready it would be bright light the sunshine. I truly loved it - but I have to say, I'm loving my baby's room much more!

Baby Shower 3/26/16
Our baby shower for sweet baby boy was SO awesome. We are so grateful for all of the gifts that we received from our family and friends. My mom did such a wonderful job at decorating her home and making everything woodland themed - just like Hudson's nursery. We were actually able to incorporate a lot of the stuff from the shower into his nursery after!

Bump Photos
32 Weeks - had to take a picture in front of my favorite type of tree in the spring - Wisteria trees! I always just called them "purple trees!" -- Starting to really feel this bump and getting more tired.
33 Weeks - our azalea bushes were blooming, so we wanted to capture a picture while they looked so pretty. They make the perfect backdrop for that big bump!
34 Weeks - We finally have our sweet baby boy's nursery set up! I was waiting to reveal it because we (my step-dad, mom, Andy, Grana and I) were building the tree bookshelf! What a fun project that was!! The tree was a gift from my mom and my step-dad. They worked SO hard on it for 4 days. My stepdad took his whole vacation to work on it and make it perfect for us. Andy and I are so grateful!!! (Andy, Grana and I helped however/whenever we could!!)
I'll try and keep everyone updated as we go forward! Make sure to check out the next blog post to see what Hudson's nursery looks like!
