So, last night at 10 to 2 AM, Hudson woke up SCREAMINGGGG. I let him scream for a bit, because it’s so unusual that he even woke up, but he definitely didn’t stop crying. So, I thought, well- maybe he needs a bottle? Since I have read that teething babies sometimes need night feedings. I opened my eyes and it was DARK. Like PITCH BLACK. I thought about it for a second and then panicked thinking I had forgotten (AGAIN!) to pay our PG&E and this time, they actually shut me down. So, I stumbled through this fire hazard we call a room and put Hudson in our bed and Scott cuddled him while I went to make the bottle. That’s when (thank you!) I realized the entire ‘hood was out. It wasn’t just us! No street lights- nothing. Clearly why it was so dark! So, I made the kid a cold bottle by flashlight and brought it back to the bed. He drank the whole thing and demanded more. So, after 2 bottles he decided to fall asleep and I was too tired to go bring him back to his crib. When I woke up this morning I realized why 2 AM bottles are a bad idea. We were sleeping in a piss lake. Hudson’s diaper could hold no more! Usually he doesn’t need to be changed in the middle of the night, since he is changed about a half hour after his last bottle and sleeps through the night. Anyhow- So- now my room smells like piss and I have a LOT of laundry to do today.

After Scott left I turned on the TV and went back to lay down. Hudson & I fell asleep and when I woke up- the TV was off again. Strange. Then, I went to take a sip of the juice Scott left for me & it had a spider floating in it!! Talk about a BAD OMEN.

I am feeling super sick, so, I ended up having to cancel lunch with my great aunt today. I’m in no shape to eat or walk downtown. I weighed myself this morning & I am the lowest I’ve been since I’ve given birth. Still 7 pounds over my last pre-pregnancy weight, but, whatever. I have a feeling I will continue to loose for a while. Food is just sooooo unappetizing! I wish I was one of the millions of women who love pregnancy, but I am not. Pregnancy can suck it.

Other than the weird things that have gone on today, Hudson is just super duper cute. Last night, Scott & I were convinced he said MAMA, except, he was starring at the bottle. lol. I think the talking might happen before the teeth at this rate. He seems to be just bursting to talk to us. He has also started two new things, which are weird and kinda awesome. He does headstands. As in gets in a crawl position and then sticks his face into the mattress and straightens his back legs so he is fully standing with all the weight of his body on his dome. It’s really odd but totally hilarious. He also stands holding onto things- if you stand him up. He’s fully sitting now. It’s so crazy how fast all this happens!
