Off to the Hospital

After only about 2 hours of sleep (even though I knew I really needed the rest, my mind was too busy to fall asleep), we got up at 3am on September 9th and got ready to go to the hospital. We left around 4:15 and I experienced the same overwhelming emotions as last time. For some reason leaving our house knowing that the next time we would be in it everything would be different was very emotional for me. This time we would be returning as a family of 4!! I thought about how I had put Hudson to bed the night before as my little baby, but when we got back he would be my big boy. I pulled myself together and tried to focus on the excitement instead. I was losing Hudson as my baby, but gaining a new little baby to love and in the process Hudson was going to be getting a little brother. It was a big day, with a little bit of sadness, a lot of nerves, but mostly it would be an exciting and wonderful day!
