Countdown 'Til Bridesmaid Dress Season

So in a little more than a month I have to buy my bridesmaid dress for my friend Ti's wedding! EEK!!!! Time for me to stop talking about losing weight and actually do it! I don't belong to a gym so I am going to have to find things to do around the house and outside....thank goodness the weather is warming up!

This is the bridesmaid dress from J.Crew!

I'm thinking of wearing this to the rehearsal dinner which will also be my 5 year wedding anniversary! I have already purchased this from Target on clearance!

And this I want for the Bachelorette party in Charleston, it is a steal from Boden USA

Almost Two

Today Hudson is 23 months.....23 months! Time has flown by and while I want it to slow down so I can cherish every moment, I am also so excited for the person that Hudson is becoming. His birthday party is coming along, we are going with a red wagon theme, I have been making invitations, banners, etc!

Along with Hudson turning 2 comes the question of when are "we" having number 2. Here is the dilemma, I have always wanted more than 1 and after having 1 only having 1 more....still with me....M would be happy to just stay a 1 child family. Yes we talked about kids before we got married (hello we dated for 6 years) and kind of settled on 2 kids. But now that we have Hudson life is great, we love him sooo much it is hard to imagine bringing someone else into our love fest so to speak. I do believe that when you have a second child you don't love your first any less, your heart basically grows allowing you to love your second as fiercely as your first. It was almost a blessing that Hudson was our little surprise because having to think about planning to have another is when all of these questions came up.

I have decided to make a pro and cons list....not sure if I want to share it yet.
Also how do you reconcile the fact that 1 parent wants another child and 1 doesn't? Will I resent M if we don't have another child? Will he resent me if we do? These are the things I have been stressing about today.

Del Rey Trip From Hell

I would love to say that our mini vacation down to Del Rey to spend time with Mack's parents and my Uncle Chuck's Aunt Dot (long story about how Mack's parents have known her forever...small world), but it didn't.

2 Fridays ago I got a call at work around 4:45 saying that Hudson had been pushed by another student and hit his head on the concrete sidewalk and that because it was a head injury I needed to come get him. My poor little guy had a huge goose egg that was all bloody and scraped when I got there, I took him back to work with me and had Dr. Clark check him out. He didn't need stitches but we were told to watch out for vomiting etc.

So we left for Del Rey around 7 and made great time since we had missed all the traffic on 95. When we got to the hotel room Hudson was so upset from being woken up and having to try to go to sleep while looking right at us! We put him in bed with us and he promptly got out of bed, got his diaper bag and tried to leave the room....poor guy just wanted to go home.

Saturday was great, I went shopping with Helen and Dot and the boys went golfing. Saturday night we went out to dinner in Palm Beach, Hudson and I were dancing and having the best time.....until he started vomiting....about 5 times in a row! Thank God I had put him down because if he had thrown up on me I would have lost my lunch.

I cleaned him off and we took him back to hotel. We called the DR on way back to hotel and of course were told to go to the ER.....ughhh! He threw up again at the hotel so we packed him up and found Broward General (they have a Peds ER) and after 4 hours and a CT later we were sent home with a stomach virus diagnosis (with no fever).

Sunday Hudson was fine and we had a nice lunch in Del Rey. Our nice mini vacation was a trip from hell and we probably wont be taking any trips anytime soon!!!!

Although Mack and I could use a weekend away if any Grandparents want to volunteer to come stay with Hudson!

Hudson looking wonderful at dinner
