6 months old!

Trigger is 6 months old TODAY! I can hardly believe that it has been 6 months since we gave birth to our little miracle. Trigger has been such a blessing. Yes, it has been a very tiring 6 months (especially since I went back to work at 5 weeks!). But, it was all worth it and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
We took Trigger to his well baby visit on Tuesday. He now weighs 16lbs 1oz (25th percentile) and 26.75 inches (50th percentile). Dr. Slusher said that he has definitely caught up...hard to believe that he started out as an itty bitty 4lb 5oz baby! He's come a long way!!!! While at the doctor, he got his shots...3 in one leg and one in the other! He screamed and then silent cried for what seemed like forever. Even the two nurses were starring at him! Poor baby. Trigger has been a little under the weather. He has a cold but he's getting better.
Sleeping: The last two nights have been excellent. Matt has only had to get up twice each night to put a pacifier in! Hopefully tonight will be a good night because Matt has small group in the morning at 530 so I am on my own for awhile. As we speak, the little man is already crying...uh oh...not a good sign!
Well..I've got to try to get some sleep. Tomorrow's going to be a long day! BTW, I did take pictures of Trigger today but I did not have the energy to find the card reader and download them. I hate doing that...so maybe next time!!! SORRY!

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!
