One year ago.
I was all puffy.
Sweaty.
And there was goo was coming out of my parts.
There was clamor.
Things were chaotic.
Buttons beeping.
Numbers climbing.
Charts charting.
Nurses whirled around me.
Legs go there.
Squeeze right here.
Breathe, breathe. Push.
Breathe, breathe. Push.
And then there was silence.
And bliss.
Because you entered the world.
The noise stopped.
And I held my breath tight in my throat until you were placed in my arms.
Exhale.
And you’ve stayed there. This whole time.
Tight in my arms.
But now you’re a year old. And I have to loosen my grip on you, ever so slightly.
Because now you’re ready to walk and talk and take on the world.
You’re an explorer.
You are curious.
You are an acrobatic climber.
Your eyes are astounding.
And your voice is so sweet.
Happy Birthday Hudson.
It’s been pretty awesome getting to know you.
Here’s a video we put together of your life so far.
I love him. Happy birthday.

He has beautiful blue eyes! I love his hair now, my oldest daughter Mack’s was often like this, and we called it her Fraggle hair.
Awesome video.

Oh wow. Beckey, this was both precious and powerful. Well done. (And I really like Libby’s comment.)
