Hi everyone!!! Just popping on - Hudson Aubrey Van Dorp was born at 8:46am. He's so precious. Weighed 7lbs 14oz which is EXACTLY what Ryder weighed! Nursed like a champ for the first time and has been napping since! Surgery went fantastic, I'll be getting out of bed this afternoon says the nurse. Everything has been great. So glad he's here and is healthy as can be. I just love him so much!

mines still feeling a bit up in air to be honest - i could be just under 4 weeks away (if i have a section at 39 weeks - 18/06) or i could be at most 7 weeks away if my placenta moves, i stay natural and go late - feels like a life time

BUT on the other hand its 9 days til June and we're up next - how exciting roll on June (the babies seem to have gone awol in the other group - we need some more newborns!)

As far as being prepared for this baby's arrival. We are not ready at all yet. Our bedroom is torn apart because we started remodeling it about a month ago and are not finished yet, but hopefully it will be done within the next couple of weeks. We still have to prepare the bedroom downstairs for our oldest boy which will involve clearing out the room, ripping up the carpet, painting, sewing curtains and putting in new carpet. We are also going to recarpet the living room so we will have to rip out that carpet. I have washed some of the clothes with a stain remover but I will need to rewash them again because it has been a few months and I was really just trying to get the stains out. We have purchased some new clothes for this baby and they all need to be washed as well. I do have a pack of diapers and a stroller now so I guess I am ahead of where I was a few weeks ago though. My plan for the upcoming holiday weekend is to finish up my shopping for a carseat, swing, etc and get all of the clothes washed as well prepping all of the cloth diapers and maybe if I can manage to gain control of our monsterous laundry pile in the living room we can set up the bassinet in there. I also want to have my older 3 boys pack their overnight bags so they are ready.

On a positive note though I do feel way more prepared mentally for this baby then I have with any of the other 3 so if everything doesn't get finished in time I'm sure it will be fine and will work out rather than being frazzled and stressed like I was at the end with the last two pregnancies.
