Wow! My intention was to put out a blog post on Wednesday evening to let you all know that Ellie would be joining our family NEXT Wednesday. Ummm, there were obviously other plans in store for us! I came home from my appointment and within a matter of hours, I was in labor. Fast, people, fast. That is all I can say. We barely made it to the hosptial, seriously. A special thanks to Seton Medical Center for giving me an epidural at 8 cm!! I love you Mr. Anethesiologist! It was a whirlwind! Miss Ellie made quite an entrance into the world! She is beautiful and doing great!

Hudson has been very sweet and has even decided to say her name. He has refused for the last six months, only calling her baby. Nice. But he has kissed her and loved on her here in the hospital. We'll see what happens when we get home and she doesn't go away!

We are so blessed to have two wonderful, healthy children! More on our new family to come!

ELLIE...

We're ready for you to get here!!!

Operation Big Boy Bed

We decided to go ahead and move Hudson into his new room last night, since sister is well on her way to taking over his crib! (More on that later.) We were certain that he would be up and out of the bed all night long, but PRAISE JESUS, he slept in it all night! Now, it did take him an hour to fall asleep, but he never cried and never tried to get out, so I think our first night of Operation Big Boy Bed was quite a success! We'll see how it goes tonight!

A little update: Ellie has decided to make an early appearance into the world! At my 35 week appointment last Wednesday I was already dilated to a 2! What?! I went into a state of panic for a few days, because we were NOT ready! But I have calmed down now and we have quickly gotten everything ready for baby. And I have been having regular contractions since Thursday, so we'll see what happens! We'll keep you updated! 2010 is starting off in full force for the Brewer family!
