Crappy Mom Moment!

Soooo, I was running behind today to meet my mom. I was trying to get the boys in an dout of the tub, myself ready and them dressed. I was behind of course because I was trying to find some last minute Christmas gifts online. After telling Drew to get dressed, what seemed like a milllion times, I found him struggling in his room trying to decide on what pants and shirt to wear. Got him dressed and taken care of, instucted him to get his jacket and shoes on and went to tackle Hudson with lotion and clothing. I know I am a bad mom for keeping his skin quenched in the winter and warm, but oh well. While wrestling Hudson I kept hearing Drew yelling at me and I kept yelling back for him to come here. I thought "Now what is hie problem?" I finally turned in frustation and yelled at him to get over here! He came in with jacket and shoes on. When I asked what he had needed he said, " I was just trying to tell you that I love you." Yep, Crappy mom moment, I felt horrible.

Ok, so I am well aware that I am the worst blogger in the world as of late. I fell into a slump after Cole passed away and with Nick being laid off his job right afterwards, well it was the icing on the cake. I didn't want to just write about how hard things were and I didn't want to fake that life was great. So I just didn't do anything. But just like after every storm, the clouds part and the sun starts to shine again. And sometimes, there is even a rainbow. So here is what we have been up to!
We were blessed with our third son on October 9, 2009. He is exactly 3 years and a day younger than Drew. Drew's birthday is October 8, 2006. I know great planning huh? But in my defense they were both early. Drew 2 weeks and Hudson 3 weeks. It was a short delivery and I almost had him on the way to the hospital. Poor Drew was in the car and asked Nick why I was yelling. Nick was explaining that I just needed to see my doctor and Drew decided that was a good idea and we needed to drive faster! I will probably need to plan for an at home delivery for the next!

Drew has loved being a big brother since day one. He immediately wanted to feed him a bottle and even assisted me in breast pumping. Yeah way fun. He continues to spoil Hudson and is absolutely the best kid ever! He makes me smile everyday and there is no doubt in my mind, that he is my first child for a reason! He started pre-school this year and is loving every minute of it! He is a natural leader!

Hudson is just great! He is such a happy little guy! As long as he is full he is happy. He has been spoiled since day one and is always being held. Which is probably why he is just barely having some interest in crawling. Between me holding him and Drew being at his beck and call, the guy has it made. We are working on that though. He loves Nick and is constantly saying Da da. He also loves to watch Oakland. He is into cars and tries to say "car" and "Vroom."
Nick recently got a job with Boston Scientific. He is in the spinal cord implant division. He has been through much training and we are so happy to have him back home for a bit.
And for me. I am loving being a mom! I recently discovered a new drive in myself, hence the blog being updated, and feel that there are not enough hours for me to accomplish everything that I want to. I still take pictures occasionally and am in the process of starting another company. I am also wanting to start a yearly yard sale fundraiser in behalf of Cole. Life is still challenging at times, but I have learned that it is all about attitude and surrounding yourself with great people.
