Team Woodard: Our numbers.

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Our numbers.

Because of an apparently VERY chaotic day on the labor and delivery unit yesterday, they did not call us for our ultrasound last night until 2:00AM (yes....this morning...the middle of the night). Our fluid level was 4.19. The doctor found Trigger's breathing right away which is something else they look for when doing the ultrasound (or BPP (BioPhysical Profile)). They also look to see if the baby is moving. Well...of course since it was the middle of the night and being the good baby that he is, he was sound asleep. They tried everything: shaking my stomach, turning me from side to side, and they even brought out the buzzer (which is suppose to wake him up). He didn't even flinch. They finally got me some ice chips and told me to eat them. And, they brought in another doctor. After 30 minutes of trying to get him to move, Trigger finally cooperated. We got back in bed a little after 3:00am.
Today, they took us back early to get our BPP (ultrasound) and it was 4.3.
Tomorrow, they will take me to the labor and delivery unit. We are getting very excited. It's just all a little sureal! I don't think I have to get an iv until tomorrow so I can get another good nights rest...but, who knows...things change quickly around here!

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!
