Yesterday we said goodbye to Aunt Abbie, who came and stayed with us for about 10 days. It was great! During that time, Hudson started taking the pacifier better, seems to be looking around a lot more, he's started losing his hair IN THE FRONT - so he looks like a mini old man in certain pictures! He's also had a pretty upset stomach (lots of gas...wonder where he gets that from...), so we've started trying different techniques to calm his belly. We just started using gripe water yesterday, and so far it really seems to be working!! So we're keeping our fingers crossed that it continues to help - don't like to see our little boy in pain!
Hudson has also really been working on holding his head up - he is so strong!! We got some good shots on video, so it will be fun to watch him continue to get stronger. Last night he slept for four hours, was up for an hour, slept for two hours, was up for two hours, then slept for another hour and a half! So we got some good sleep! It was much needed after the night we had before that, but I think he is getting better at sleeping through the night, and we are finding our groove so that's nice. He has been growing still, and is almost too big to wear an outfit or two! Yesterday we saw a friend who has a 10 day old little boy, and it was really obvious just how much he has grown after seeing that little guy - i'm looking forward to our next weigh in at the doctor so we can see just how much he has gained. According to our scale at home, we think he is right around 9 pounds already!! He loves his food! :)
We are anticipating our first airplane ride in a few weeks for Pete's wedding, and I have to say i'm nervous. It's hard enough to get out of the house and feel comfortable for me right now, so the thought of an airplane where we don't have a place to get away if he's crying gives me a good amount of anxiety. But he will be two months by then, so i think it will be better than i expect - at least i hope! Then we will be flying again later that month to celebrate great grandma's 80th birthday! That will be just me and Hudson, so we'll hopefully have learned a thing or two from the first flight so we can go without Andy and have no problems.
I can't believe our son will be 5 weeks on Tuesday - it is going by fast! I'm not looking forward to going back to work, but am glad i have three weeks of transition before i'm back full time. THen we have the holidays to look forward to!

Good luck! Luckily, people are a little more understanding when the baby is so young. I think people tend to get more annoyed when they're a year or two and crying. But maybe that's just me. Hope it goes well. I remember trying to keep Kayla quiet in church by letting her feed herself cheerios! lol, she's was older though!
