This was a tearful month for me; however, little Hudson Bob made it so much better! I found myself crying several different nights in the quiet moments we shared as I nursed him before bed, and each time...he'd giggle. I don't think he realized I was sad, and his sweet giggles made a sad moment into a much better - and very special - moment. I don't think I will ever forget those moments together and am so thankful that he was here to make me smile through my tears.
