Why I'm Marching....

It's time to March for Babies!   The march is Saturday, April 14th.  If you'd like to join with us in Marching for Babies, please click here.  You can either sign up to walk on our team and start your own fundraising or make a donation to our team - "For Tate's Sake".  The March of Dimes is a non profit that funds research about why premature births happen, how to prevent them and medical technology that saves lives. They also provide education and support to families that have premature babies.
Tate might not be here today without the research and technology that March of Dimes has provided.  Please help us give back to a cause that has touched our lives.

We are also doing a promotion through the month of March at the clinic.  Refer your friends and family in this month and they only have to pay a $20 donation to the March of Dimes for their 1st visit.  And we will match that donation.

He started taking a couple steps a few weeks ago - it has taken me this long to finally catch it on video.  Now he can go halfway across the room.  Very wobbly but still made it!  Most of the videos I just get Hudson's back cause he keeps jumping in front of the camera and trying to get Tate to walk to him.  But I finally caught this one yesterday.  Please excuse Hudson in the back in his underwear!

For Papa, Binga, Jeremy and Jenni

I figured you could sympathize:

gossip

Hudson's favorite books are the Berenstain Bear books. We own almost all of them.  He has most of them memorized and can even tell you what color each book is when you're looking for it amongst all the other books in his room.  His newest one is The Easter Story - we read it several times before he went to bed the night he got it and I promised him I'd read it to him again in the morning. 

7:15 am  - Hudson is standing beside my bed, tapping me on the nose.  I open my eyes and he says "Mom, can we read my book now?"  He crawled up beside me, I read it to him - half asleep - then rolled over and went back to sleep!

Anyway, on the back of each book are pictures of other books.  This one had a new one on the back called Gossip Gang.  I was trying to explain what gossip was to him:

Me:  It's like if I told Daddy that I thought you had a big nose.  That would be gossip.
Hudson:  No, mom.  That's not 'gossipling'.  That would be a LIE.

bring back any memories?

Jamie's parents always talk about how hyper/crazy Jamie would get after a breathing treatment (when he was younger, of course!)  Well, I have now experienced it first hand with Hudson.  Jamie says the medicine in it makes your heart race - and well, I guess that makes you want to run around the house, doing flips, jumping off everything. 

Keep in mind - this is in the midst of his sickness.  So he is basically laying on the couch for the past week, not eating, coughing and feeling pretty miserable.  Then he'd do a breathing treatment and he's doing this:
