My heart is so full of gratitude right now. I am so grateful for the safe arrival of our third boy Hudson. I know from my past posts I have been very nervous about becoming a mother of three and I still am but I am grateful he is here and know that he is suppose to be here on earth now and that he is suppose to be a part of our family. Having a baby truly is a spiritual experience and helps put things in life in the right perspective (well for me at least and I will need to read this post often to help me remember the feelings I have had today). He arrived Friday August 10th at 8:30 am - weighing 7lbs exactly.
I am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. I am so grateful for them. For all their love and support. For a wonderful husband who I could not have done all this without! I am so lucky to have married good and glad I waited for him! Now I hope and pray my boys will be patient with me in trying to do my best as their mother.

Little Hudson-oh how I love you and your brothers and that I am so glad you are here. I know I was not ready for you to come, not ready to be pregnant when I found out I was pregnant with you, nervous about being your mother, not ready to bring a new spirit into this messed up world and not having enough faith that all will work out before you came. But as I have looked into your face these past two days I know you are suppose to be on this earth at this time. You came when you are suppose to come and that you are suppose to be a part of this family. You have helped me have a renewed sense of faith. Thank you!
Time sure does March on whether you are ready for it to move as fast as it does. On Wednesday (the 8th) I was wondering if this little guy was going to come and ready to be done being pregnant. Now he is here and we are home from the hospital. Moments in the hospital from labor to coming home I tried to soak up all the moments we had there and what I was going through. The morning of Friday waiting for the phone call to come that we could go to the hospital to have Hudson. The day before anticipating what labor was going to be like, what he was going to look like, relishing my last day being pregnant. Time just flies and I have to remember this soak up him being a newborn, soak up my kids being the age they are. Relish in this season of my life!

Congratulations!!! He is so cute. And, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the name Hudson. What a cute little family of boys you have. Aren't they fun? (most of the time!)
Shanie this post just reminded me of all the great spiritual experiences that come from having a baby, it really is such a special experience. I know it is hard...three is hard, but the best things are hard. You will do great, you are a great example to me of a "happy spirit."
