It was quite the eventful weekend, so there’s lots to catch you up on.
1. Todd’s last day of work at his firm was Friday. I couldn’t mention any of this to you until his last day was over, but he and two other attorneys are starting their own firm on Monday. We’re all very excited and I am particularly proud of my husband. There’s really something to be said for knowing exactly what kind of work you want to do and going after it. Last week was a scary week as we were both writing letters of resignation. For a brief few hours, neither of us were on anyone’s payroll. His first day is Monday and he is so excited!
2. My parents flew in on Friday and went with us to Charlotte for a dear friend’s wedding. My folks came up to keep Hudson while Todd and I attended all of the wedding activities. I was doing a reading in the ceremony, which I’d never done before, and was a bit scared. I’ve sung in lots of weddings and I’ve been a bridesmaid a few times, but I was much more nervous about this reading. I wore my pink Stuart Weitzman rehearsal dinner shoes from our wedding, and was a little nervous about walking in stilettos for the first time in months. Taking a long walk in stilettos across a marble platform– hoping and praying to God that I would not bust it and ruin the ceremony. All was fine.
I have to mention a wedding guest who showed up in a white dress. I am obviously not mentioning her by name or describing her dress any further than saying it was white. I just don’t understand that. Even if the dress has a little embellishment of color at the very bottom– it’s still white. There should be one person in white at the wedding. Period. Can’t you just find a different dress for that one day? Sheesh.
Hudson went 8 hours during the night between feedings thanks to his KK and Poppie. My parents kept him in their room and let Todd and me sleep through the night. I’m hopeful in these next couple of nights that Hudson will catch on that this is the new routine and stop waking up. This is such a huge accomplishment.
3. Hudson is doing lots of smiling. And if he knew how to laugh he’d be laughing, too. It’s so much fun! He tries to say what we say and just makes the same types of sounds and it’s such a blast to watch him learn and discover his little voice. He’s officially too big for 3 month sizes and is wearing 6 month clothes now– just days before his 2 month birthday. Little monster.
4. I just have to say that I am so happy for my beautiful friend and her wonderful husband. She found the perfect guy for her and I knew it the second I met him. I love to watch them interract and there is something so special about watching one of your best friends commit her life to someone. I’m completely jealous that they’ll be in Bora Bora for the next 10 days.
5. We leave for the beach tomorrow. I’ll be blogging from the beach– I’m not exactly in tip top bathing suit shape, so my time on the beach will be limited. So I’ll check in with y’all a few times next week so you can see what Huddy’s first time on the beach is like!
