Great day!

We have started out on the right path today. Mary Hudson slept from 10:30 last night until 4:30 this morning. What a wonderful night!

More pics have been added since the last post. http://public.fotki.com/bwingate/2008/may/

A good week.

Well all in all this week has been pretty good. It started with a visit from my Aunt Carol from Houston. Here are the pics.

The nights have been good, MH is averaging 3 1/2 hours between feedings which allos for Martha and I some good rest. Last night she slept from 10:30 to 2:30 and then until about 6. It is amazing how much a 4 hour stretch of sleep can do for you.

We are looking forward to a visit from several friends from Atlanta tomorrow. Mary Hudson does not know it yet but Drew (a visitor tomorrow) may be her future husband. I hope she makes a good impression :)

Have a great weekend!

First days...

I am very thankful to have a husband who enjoys posting on this blog...if it were left to me, you'd never have any updates! :) As Bill has said, we're doing well. We have had a busy last few weeks, but MH seems to be adjusting to the outside world fairly well. Probably a little better than Mommy and Daddy are adjusting! We're doing what we can...

She has had many family and friends come to visit and she loves it. Actually, she snoozes through most visits, but we occasionally get an open eye here and there. Of course, at night, both eyes seem to magically pop open. (If you are interested in seeing this first hand, just let us know...we'd be happy to have you come and visit us during this time!)

Thankfully we have a very healthy and content little girl. My mom had to remind me today that it is okay for her to cry a little bit. Bill and I were laughing the other day, saying that whatever laid back tendencies we have are all in her. (Okay, maybe the laid-back comes more from Bill than me!) She is hanging out in her swing, fighting going to sleep, watching to see if her bear-friend on the mobile will move. Hiccups are about to set in, signalling that it's about time for night-night.

Have a good evening!

Hudson's Visit

Mary Hudson is doing quite well. She was up to 7lbs 4 ounces as of last Friday which is well above her birth weight.

Last week Mary Hudson's uncle Hudson came to see her all the way from the great state of Hawaii. It was a great (very quick) visit with Hudson.

Please note that more pictures have been added but they are in the May 2008 folder and future pictures will be sorter by month.

Have a great week!

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Well today was the day that Mary Hudson was supposed to arrive. We are very happy that she decided to join our family a little early.

Over the past week she has grown and starting to have a routine (we think). We are very blessed to have a happy little girl who has a fondness of eating in the middle of the night. We are hoping that this changes in the coming days to late evening rather than 2 - 4am.

As always, that for checking in on us and have a great week!

Weekend update

All is well here. Mary Hudson is doing well and has had 3 good nights and she slept in her crib all 3 nights. She is a joy! She is also beautiful (we are biased)



Many have asked how Henry is adjusting to his sister. What do you think?




He does not seem to be bothered by much.





Once again thanks for checking on us.
Coming soon Mary Hudson will have her on blog and will be telling us about life...

First Bath

Mary Hudson had her first bath on Wednesday night and it went well. Take a peek!

We are off to the pediatrician later this morning, should be a fun outing - I hope.

Thanks for checking on us.
