We Are Home

Walker is home! Clark and I got to bring our sweet little boy home yesterday afternoon.

He didn't love his coming home outfit as much as Mommy and Daddy did...


But, he did like his first car ride and seems very happy to be at home with his family.


Our first night at home went well.... his Bunny spent the night to help us get some sleep, which was really nice! So, we are all feeling rested and enjoying the new family!

More to come.

Baby Update

The pregnancy is almost over! If Baby Boy Wood doesn't arrive over the weekend or Monday, he will for sure be here on Tuesday!!! I'm being induced at 6am on his official due date!

We are very, very excited!!!!

We will have the internet in the hospital, so we hope to update the blog with all important information soon after his birth... hmm, I guess we will really have to decide on a name!

Stay tuned!

The Waiting Game

Have you noticed... the countdown is in single digits! Wow, nine months can go by really fast!!!!

There's no Baby Boy Wood yet! I will be 39 weeks on Tuesday, so as I said in the previous post, he could decide to arrive at anytime, but so far... NO signs of him showing up!

The "unknown" is the hardest part! Each and every morning Clark asks me, "are you going to have the baby today?". I just wish I had an actual answer for him! Tonight we've been playing the "what day will it be" game... Clark thinks it's going to take an induction to get things moving... his guess is January 29th. I'm leaning the same way. Last week I felt like it was going to happen soon, but right now I feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever.

The gambler in me wants to set up a pool.... at least make this whole process a little more exciting. I won't go that far... but, I will set up a poll on the blog, just to see what everyone else thinks! So, please vote and we'll see if the majority ends up getting it right!

Happy Birthday Bubba!

OK, OK... I know, it's been over a week since I updated the blog. I've gotten several phone calls asking me to get on it and post... so here I am!

First things first: I'm very sad that college football is over. I'm excited that TCU beat Boise State in their bowl and that Texas beat Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.

The final AP poll came out today... Texas finished #4 and TCU finished #7. Here's the funny part. Clark and all the other Texas fans are disappointed that the Longhorns finished 4th, I get that... they only lost one game. The thing that is funny, I'm THRILLED that the Frogs finished #7... seriously, #7 is amazing! A top 10 finish.... I am a proud Horned Frog.

OK, now on to a baby update: I'm not sure how much detail I should include in the blog about this (I don't want to put anything on here that would freak people out!), but I will say that I went to doctor today and my body is starting to prepare for labor. What does this mean? Basically it means that our little man could arrive anytime! WOW! It also means that if he hasn't shown up by my due date (the 27th), my doctor will induce me either that day or soon after!

So, we will have a January baby! That might not sound like a big deal to most, but to the Wood family, a January birthday is important. Check this out:
Jan. 6th -- Wendy's bday (Clark's sister)
Jan. 9th -- Bubba's bday (Clark's dad)
Jan. 20th -- Wes's bday (Clark's brother) AND
Kyle & Anna's bday (our niece and nephew) AND
Bubba and Sheila's Anniversary

As you can see, it's a big month and we will soon add to it!
And, speaking of the big month:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA! We hope you have a great day. I don't think your grandson is arriving today to celebrate with you, but it won't be long!

Happy New Year!

Well, I decided to take a moment out of my hibernation to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Yes, I said hibernation. I've been off from work for more than two weeks, and I can honestly say... at least HALF of the time I've been curled up in my bed sleeping soundly. I truly feel like a hibernating bear.

I've always been a sleeper, but I've never experienced this... for the past two weeks I've gotten at least 10 hours of sleep at night. Many of those nights were 12 or more hours!!! I know, it sounds crazy. Pregnant women are supposed to have a hard time sleeping! I will admit, there's a lot of changing sleeping positions and bathroom breaks in all those hours, but the bottom line, I'm always able to go right back to sleep.

It's amazing what sleep will do for you! I'm feeling really good, considering I'm more than 36 weeks pregnant. In fact, I went to the doctor yesterday and my nurse practitioner made the comment, "I never thought you looked tired or worn out, but seeing you well rested, I can tell you really were tired!"

So, as you can tell, I've really enjoyed my time off. I can't believe I go back to work on Monday... more importantly, I can't believe it's January!!! The month our baby boy is scheduled to arrive! Wow, time has flown by and Clark and I are getting really excited.

I'll give everyone an update on the baby name debate. The update is, there really isn't one. Clark and talked at length last night and still didn't make a decision... we're really going to have to meet our little man before deciding. The good news, we don't have to wait too long!

Happy New Year to everyone.... 2009 will be an exciting one!
