Baby #2 on the way!!!!

I originally wrote this post Friday afternoon. Unfortunately I didn't get around to posting it and a few hours later baby #2 was on his way! 
After a few more hospital visits I starting working half days for a few weeks and then stopped altogether. With this warm weather we have been having it feels like I have a jump start on summer! Quinten and I are already enjoying our time outside playing in the neighborhood. 
At our latest doctor appointment they guesstimated baby weighs about 7.1 lbs. we will see in just a few short days how close they were. Doctor said everything looks great, the shots and everything we went through must have worked because we start 39 weeks tomorrow and are officially scheduled for delivery a'la c-section Monday at 9:15!!!! Stay tuned for updated family pics:)
Friday night I started having contractions yet again. I was apprehensive about making another trip to the hospital only to be sent back home. But after about 20 minutes I was 99% sure this was the real deal. With Quinten already in bed our main focus was what would be the least disruptive for him. Thanks to our wonderful neighbors Q was able to stay in bed. Allison came down and stayed at our house until GM & GP Kurash could get there. After a few hours of intense contractions my water broke and Jason and I were prepped for surgery. With Q I remember having a few contractions after my water broke but nothing like this!
Hudson was born at 1:55am on June 1, 2013. He weighed 7.5 lbs and 22 inches long. Exactly 2 lbs. 3 inches longer then his big brother. The doctors had a tough time getting him out because he was balled up pretty high. Luckily I didn't feel anything except pressure soon after the spinal. Hudson's face looked a little smooshy on one side because he was pushed up against my septum. His face has already started to even out so much and the pediatrician said within a few weeks he should be pretty symmetrical.
Quinten, Mama, and Bopa have come to visit. It is strange to be away from him but I know he is having the time of his life playing and keeping my parents on their toes.
He is already a fan of his baby brother and it will be interesting to see how he reacts once we go home.
I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world!!!
