Happy 30th Chris!

Jason's brother turned 30 last week, but Lauren threw him a surprise dinner last night. It is about time he is 30:)! We had a wonderful dinner and Declan was an absolute angel...thanks to the iPad. I was so proud of him! It was a nice night out with family and friends!


My boys:)


Love these two! They are so cute!!!


Loved the dirty 30 center pieces!


He was definitely surprised!








Yum!!!








Love this picture!!! Aunt Lauren and Declan:)

What's in a Name?

We have decided on a name for our baby boy...Hudson Douglas Wood. Hudson is a strong boy's name that we both love and it goes well with Declan. Douglas is my Uncle Ted's middle name. Uncle Ted is both my uncle (Mom's brother) and my godfather. I have always had and have a special bond with my Uncle Ted and wanted to honor him by using his name for our son. I hope that Hudson grows up to be as kind hearted, brave, loving, and as funny as his Great Uncle:). He is one of the best men around! BUZZ BOMB!!! Jason felt Hudson move for the first time tonight! He moves around like crazy pretty much most of the day. Such an amazing feeling! Dr. Taylor called me tonight to talk about my blood work that came back. My thyroid level is lower than it should be. I have an appointment on Tuesday with a new internist to get a physical and have her regulate my thyroid level. It is not too serious, but can affect the baby and needs to be regulated more often and fixed. That explains why I have been extra exhausted lately!!! My level remained the same throughout my entire pregnancy with The DEW, so this is something that they will watch.

It's a BOY

We are having a BOY!!! We are thrilled! We would have been happy with either, but both of us pretty much wanted another boy! He is healthy and growing perfectly! Declan liked watching his new brother on the ultrasound today. He said he is "dark and swimming in water.". I am just so excited! Feeling very thankful this evening. Here are some pictures of our new little BOY!!!


Hello Dad, Mom, and big bro Declan :)


Arrow is pointing to his "pee pee" (as Declan calls it)


He was face down during the ultrasound. Isn't he cute?! :)

Update & 19 Weeks

It has been awhile! What has been going on in Wood'sWorld??? Jason has been traveling for business to North Dakota and California which has left me spending lots of one on one time with Declan! I have to admit he was in the bed with me every night and I loved it! I kind of feel like I need to spend as much time with him and enjoy every minute before the baby gets here! The good thing is he transfers right back to his big boy bed when his Dad gets home. We are so lucky to have such a great sleeper!!! We find out the baby's gender next week! I cannot wait!!! We will have a an ultrasound and then a doctor's appointment. Pregnancy has been going great. I had gotten some migraines, but those have gone away (knock on wood). I have been feeling the baby a lot the past couple of weeks. So fun! Craving cereal and fruit and finally have a bump! Other than that nothing really that exciting to report. Declan continues to blow us away with how smart and hilarious he is. He really is so funny! I feel like I should have the video camera out to capture all of the things he does and says. I don't want to forget any of it!!! Don't get me wrong, it is not always rainbows and butterflies with our little boy, but for the most part he really is a good boy. I just feel very lucky to have such a good little boy who is full of personality and healthy! We love his school, but not sure what changes we are going to make when the baby gets here. That is probably my biggest anxiety at the moment. We will figure it out, but it is definitely weighing on me. Other than that we are good and life is good! I will update when we find out what the baby is! Here are some pics from tonight. We went to my parent's house (Jason is in California) to celebrate Big Kara and Josh's engagement! I could not be happier for them. Kara is a part of our family and deserves the BEST. She is such an amazing person and friend. Josh is one lucky guy!!!
