Not every kid is lucky enough to have TWO Christmas mornings! Hudson definitely developed a liking for opening up presents! Thank you to everyone who gave so generously to each of us!

Christmas 2012 and 36 weeks pregnant
The four Reeves girls (one is still cooking in my belly, but she's very much present!) and Hudson!
Reeves Christmas in Sacramento
Airplanes with Oma and slides with Uncle Josh at the park, and a nice Christmas nap with Uncle Jonathan - sounds fun to me!
2012 was a year full of ups and downs for the three of us here in Denver. We were blessed to go to California 5 times and Kauai once, got to spend lots of time with family both here in Denver and out in Ca. We spent a couple weeks in the hospital with Hudson, with a positive end result - thankfully, found out we are expecting our second little baby at the end of January 2013, rented our first house and moved into a larger rental house about 2 blocks away, changed daycares, celebrated our four year anniversary, transitioned Hudson to the big boy bed, and both Andy and I have been extremely busy at work.

our first christmas, and now
What a difference - seven years ago, I flew out to Chicago to spend the days right after Christmas with Andy. We had been dating for about 7 months at this point…
and now, with a two year old and the second one almost here…who would have thought.
(not the best picture of me, by far, but pretty much the only one that's been taken since i've been pregnant!)

Baby room part two
We've been working slowly on the room, and as you can see the dresser is done, and the flowers are going up! It looks A LOT better with the flower stencils, so i'm excited to see how it will look when we're all done! I've got a few more things in mind to pull it all together, i just hope i get it done in time. If not, I have a feeling i'll have some time being home alone for 10 weeks to work on it (aside from those couple weeks when we'll have company).

big boys
Since the weekend of Thanksgiving, Hudson has started sleeping full time in his twin sized bed. The first night was rough, but after that he has refused to set foot in his crib. He loves telling us about his bed, and seems to love the new freedom it has brought his night time routine. He'll hop out of bed once or twice to tell us he heard an airplane or wants his back rubbed, but otherwise he's been staying in all night (knock on wood) successfully!
He's also been telling us more and more when he needs to go potty, and successfully uses his little potty rather than the diaper! We weren't going to push the potty training with the new baby coming, but if he wants to potty train himself, we are fine with that! We talk about it and encourage it of course, but are not in a hurry to get there 100%.
Otherwise Hudson talks more than Andy and I combined now, and is always telling us about something or showing us something he sees, etc. He LOVES all the Christmas lights, pointing out the moon, narrating what his toys are doing as he plays with them, etc. He is truly amazing to be around, even when he is defiant. Though it's not fun, it's interesting to watch his perspective on time out, listening, when it's time to do things, etc. and how he reacts to things. There are tactics that work, and techniques i think he probably laughs at when we try to use them. We're always trying to figure out the best way to communicate with him, while still allowing him to experience and learn. What an adventure!
This week I got a bad cold, possibly the flu, and have been feeling horrible. I mean, horrible. I don't typically get sick like this, and having a big baby belly, a two year old, and trying to get the house ready as well as prep to be gone from work for 10 weeks has been a bit beyond challenging the last few days. I go to the doctor today to make sure everything is ok, but trust that it is. Hudson has helped me through by giving hugs and asking me if i'm ok when i have felt the worst - he's even given me a few little back rubs! The house is no fun when i'm down for the count - eveyrone else suffers, but the boys have done a good job of working together to eat dinner, take baths, and play while I have layed on the couch feeling miserable. YAY Andy and Hudson!
