We are so thrilled to welcome our little BOY into the world!! Thomas Hudson Polega (who we are calling Hudson) was born on Friday February 13, 2015 at 7:49 am. Our BIG boy weighed 9 lbs., 6 oz. and was 22 inches long. Daddy was sure he was going to be a girl, Macy was sure he was a sister, and mom kept going back and forth on what she thought. Hudson surprised us all, and it was again such an awesome moment to find out he was a boy after all of these months of anticipation! He is such the perfect addition to complete our family!
The week of my due date (2/12) I had my 40 week doctor appointment. Dr. Macchiarella was leaving town for vacation on Saturday the 14th, and considering that along with the fact that she thought this baby was getting pretty big (she was right!) and that she wanted me to receive an antibiotic during labor to prevent this baby having any of the complications Macy had when she was born, we decided to induce. We got a couple of pictures before leaving for the hospital.

| What a Ham!! |
At 6 pm on Thursday the 12th, we went in for the induction. It was a long night, mostly sleepless except for a couple of hours (thank you, epidural!) but Hudson was born the next morning! Our luckiest Friday the 13th ever. Everything went very smoothly, and Mumma says labor and delivery were much easier the second time--even though he weighed almost a pound more than Macy did! Hudson is healthy and happy and the whole family was so excited to welcome him home!

| The hospital gave us both this cute onesie and a cute Valentine's hat---we just missed having a Valentine's baby, but we were in the hospital for most of Valentine's Day! |

| Heading Home!! |
We had quite a homecoming---we came home on one of the coldest days of the year to find our power out at home and the house was only 50 degrees! Hudson and I hung out over at the Schwedler's house for a couple of hours until DTE showed up to fix our problem. We feel a little bad that Hudson will probably always have a COLD day for his birthday---but maybe we'll make up for it by taking him somewhere warm for his birthday one of these years!! =)
We are so, so excited about our new baby boy! Macy looooves her brother and is a great helper and a wonderful big sister. More updates soon to come!
