Hudson Month Day 8
from Work Hard Mom Harder
It's Day 8 of my read-aloud of Meet Baby Dub, the book I wrote 14 years ago while I was pregnant with my daughter, Hudson. These vignettes are a window into who I was before I knew what was coming, and I love getting to share them with you. In today's episode: On Groping Yourself in a Room Full of Strangers — aka our birthing class breastfeeding session, which was exactly as awkward as it sounds. The Hubs' First Almost-a-Dad Father's Day — including a sweet (and slightly chaotic) Gymboree story and a six-year-old niece who gave us the confidence boost we didn't know we needed. Keeping the Name a Secret — why we called her Baby Dub right up until she was born, and where Hudson's name actually came from (spoiler: it's a Bruce Willis movie, and I'm not sorry). I also share an aside about God's timing — specifically how grateful I am that Zeb knew we were pregnant with Anson before that first Father's Day without Hudson. Even in the hardest chapters of this story, there are moments of grace. More links I made sure to include: Buy the book on Amazon - 100% of the 4 reviews are 5 Stars!
