Team Woodard: It's been awhile!

It's been awhile!

Sorry. It has been awhile since my last post! I'm not sure that I can say that I have been busy because I haven't been as busy as I need to be. Matt, on the other hand, has been VERY busy. The life of a CPA is not a glorious one. Last week he worked over 90 hours, but he is back to normal hours. I have had several people ask me what Matt does for the rest of the year. He has PLENTY to do the rest of the year....I don't think I really could explain all the things he does, BUT I do know that he is not playing golf or solitaire EVER! He is a very hard working man and I am proud of him!!!
Well. We had a little scare today. I have been having alot of pelvic pressure lately which I assumed was completely normal. I thought that as the baby gets heavier and things are stretching that I would feel pressure. This morning I began to wonder if it was actually normal so I called Liz. I really thought she would squander any worries that I had. She didn't...she told me to call Susan. I called Susan and she said that she thought everything was fine. She said I should just tell Dr. Harper at my next appt. Throughout the day, the worry grew and I called Mrs. Flo (Dr. Harper's nurse). She said it could be nothing or it could be something....REAL assuring! :) So she had me come in immediately to get checked. After I got off the phone with her, I called Matt. Somehow, in the busy time over the last week, I forgot to mention to Matt that I had been having this mystery "pressure". So he was quite shocked to hear that I was going to the doctor. He met me at Dr. Harper's office.
Dr. Harper gave me a hug as soon as he came in the office. What a caring doctor I have!! He checked me and said everything looked really good. We heard the heartbeat also. All very good signs!! He didn't really tell me what was causing the pressure. Dr. Harper sent us home with the instructions to pay attention to the pressure and come back on Monday if it hasn't gotten any better by then. Our normal appointment is on Thursday. I know I am a nutty patient but I am glad that I have such a great doctor that doesn't treat me like I am crazy!
I guess that is the big update for now. I do have to say that I have been trying to think about the nursery. Matt and I have ordered the furniture. I have ordered the bedding. AND, I have a few ideas for the pictures on the walls. I am not a fan of meaningless art just to fill the walls. I had Corbin (my nephew) paint a car on canvas for me to frame. I am going to have Chelsea (niece) paint a train and Abby (niece) paint a sailboat. I think it will be a priceless collection of art for the walls. I will have to add photos of their work at a later date. I will also have to post some pictures of the outfits that I have bought!!!!
20 weeks!!! We are half way there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Woodards

My name is Garson Woodard. I'm a wife to Matt. He is the most incredible husband a girl could ask for. We met in Kindergarten at Cedar Creek (the school we attended for 13 years). Matt and I started dating our Jr. year in high school and dated for 6 years. We got married on June 26, 2004. I am so thankful that God brought us together! I am a mother to Trigger, Campbell, and Larkin. We worked hard to have all of them. After 2 miscarriages, two years after trying to get pregnant, a 2 week hospital stay, and a short (didn't seem short at the time) NICU stay, we brought home our first precious miracle: Trigger! He was born on July 29, 2008. Trigger's completely spoiled rotten! He is full of personality and definitely shows some of the same tenacity that his namesake had!

With our second child, Campbell, we made it to 38 weeks. He was born on June 3, 2010. He still had to stay in the NICU for 5 days for breathing issues. Campbell is absolutely precious..shy but such a little clown. I can't wait to watch our two boys which are 22 months apart) grow up together. I know they are going to fight constantly but be BEST of friends at the same time!

I just thought my boys were our miracles...and they are...but, at the end of May 2011, Matt and I found out that we were expecting the biggest surprise of our life. We were having baby #3 after being told we could never get pregnant on our own. AND, to add to the excitement, we were having a GIRL. After dealing with my medical issues, a two vessel cord, and IUGR, Larkin was born on January 6, 2012. She came here ruling the roost and I am sure that is not going to change anytime soon.

After what seemed like forever thinking that I would not have any children, God has blessed me with three beautiful babies all within 3.5 years.

After having Campbell, Matt and I decided I would become a stay-at-home mom. In alot of ways it is more difficult than teaching because I am with OUR children all day...and OUR children don't seem to listen like my students would. HOW DOES THAT WORK? Haha! Seriously though, it is the BEST job in the world and I feel very blessed to be able to be home to witness each and every minute of our boys' lives!

I started this blog when we found out we were pregnant with Trigger and have continued to document our crazy lives with a toddler and a baby since I don't have time to scrapbook anymore. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again!
