Petting Zoo in Long Island - White Post Farms

July 19, 2012

Today, Mamma, who is 39 weeks pregnant with your baby brother took you to a petting zoo on Long Island.  We had so much fun.  I should probably have stayed close to home in case I went into labor, but that's not your Mamma.  We had laid in the apartment for about 5 straight hours yesterday and I knew we had to get out (although we walked 14 blocks in the rain yesterday after laying in the bed for 5 hours - I'm crazy).  Mamma does not sit still well.  As I got on the LIE and saw the traffic coming back, I thought " I really hope I don't go into labor because I am going to be in some nasty traffic on the way back!"  It was so worth it.  This was the cutest petting zoo.  You rode a horse named Cisco, we fed goats, camels, cows, llamas, pigs and zebras.  I couldn't believe how many animals were at this sweet little farm.  We also went inside the bird cage to feed the birds and they attacked us!  You dropped your stick with bird seed and we ran out.  We both laughed afterwards!

I love you sweet baby

Pajama Party Night at NY Kids Club Camp

July 13, 2012

Tonight, there is a pajama party at your camp in NYC, NY Kids Club. The theme is super heroes. You were so excited, you were running out the door! You absolutely love your camp and you love love the camp coaches. They are all young girls and that's probably why. You certainly like girls. What am I going to do?! Goodness! Two of them have babysat for you - Coach Ashley and Coach Christi. When they come over, you are beyond excited. The camp has been a God send. I'm just thrilled you love it. Knowing your happy when you go there is so comforting to my heart. When you're happy, I'm happy. Plus, the camp has given me some relief during the last month of my pregnancy.

I love you amore mio, my heart,
Mamma

Hudson's Baby Brother

April 23, 2012

Mamma got a sonogram today.  Daddy was right next to me.  We both smiled a lot and we are always amazed at the miracle of life.  It is a true miracle from God!  I am 6.5 months pregnant, a little over 26 weeks.  Hudson, your baby brother moves all day!  I don't think he ever sleeps.  He was not cooperating with the sonographer and she could not get a picture of his lips.  So funny!  He moves all the time like you did.  You both are going to be balls of energy and wear your Mamma out - but, I will love every moment!  The doctor said that mamma and baby look healthy and awesome!  This was the best news of all.  Baby brother is healthy and safe in Mamma's belly.  We can't wait to meet you baby boy Squires.  We all love you so much!!!!!

Look at his cute foot!

I Can't Keep My Eyes Open, but I 'm NOT Napping

Hudson,

You refuse to nap. You think nap time is for babies. One day, you will find out that this is not the case. So, you fight and fight it, however, it's a common scene to see you fall asleep in the car because you actually do need naps still. So, you will nap in the car, but refuse to nap at home. It's funny. I am not sure why. Maybe you think you are missing out if you nap at home and you never want to miss out on anything. Sometimes when we are pulling up into the driveway, you will say, "Drive around Mamma," so you can nap. Lately, with my pregnancy, you fall asleep and then I pull into the driveway and nap with you! Mamma is very fatigued with this pregnancy. I am chasing you all around and playing with you so there no rest for the weary!

I love you sweet boy, Mamma
