Some 3d/4d Pictures of Sydney Elizabeth

Well, hello again............today I went for a 3d/4d ultrasound session for Sydney, though she was playing coy with us, we finally got some shots of her. It was nice to verify once and for all that she is in fact a SHE, now we can do the nursery and stop living on pause when it comes to all things girlie!!!! :)
I took Parker with me today (with the help of Nana Sue) though much to my surprise, he would have been fine had I just taken him........he was the best little boy. Sat down and played with his toys, only to walk over and give me kisses everynow and then. Once we got the good shots of Sydney and he could tell what he was looking at you really couldn't get him away from the screen! He kept saying "baby Sydney" "I gonna get bottles and diapers" SO CUTE!
We are all doing well............we had a scare last week when Casey was hit from behind on his way home from work. Only 1/4 mile from the house. He was sore, and shaken up a bit. But we're blessed that the truck was the only thing really broken! The women hit Casey going about 40-45 without slowing down, no skidmarks. Thank goodness Parker wasn't with him, b/c the hit was hard!
Casey's been going to the doctor/chiropractor making sure all is ok with this back, b/c he's still super stiff and its been a week. Hopefully with time, he'll be back to good soon.
We've also been given the gift of some mortgage help.........I'm sure most of you knew that we were struggling to stay afloat with our house, along w/ so many other people. It looked as though there was so hope, and we were going to lose it. But help came through, and we're staying put. Which was a relief like no other. This house has become our home, its where Parker has lived for most of his life, and I'm glad it will stay that way!
Anywhoooo...........thats a quick round up of whats been going on w/ the Woodward family. We have a scheduled c-section date of July 24th, so about 9 more weeks to go! Enjoy the pictures!!!!

Again, sorry for the delay of posts............I won't bother w/ an excuse!Sooooooooo its been crazy as usual, lots and lots going on........the most exciting news is on the baby front; looks as though we are having a GIRL! though I'm sure you all already know that. We only got about an 85-90% for sure on that, but I'm hearing from lots of people thats usually the case with girls, so we feel pretty certain we have a little pink in our future!I am however holding on to all of Parker's stuff until we get the 100% at my next ultrasound; and holding onto all the receipts for anything I've purchased lately! :)Our name that we have decided on is Sydney Elizabeth. With Elizabeth as a middle name then all sides of our familes are covered with namesakes!!!! haha!! Elizabeth is my fathers side, Parker was my mothers side, Allan and obviously Woodward are Casey's side. So we're good everybody is happy.........phew :)Parker loves the baby already, he will randomly come up to my belly, pull my shirt up and give kisses; which melts my heart! He without a doubt is going to be the BEST big brother ever, I just can't wait!Parker has been taking steps towards potty training..........right now, theres are on weeks and off weeks. And truthfully, I'll push more when its warmer out and he's wearing less clothing............less to take off will make it easier on both of us!We've been working on counting lately too.......he gets to 1-6 pretty easily but has his silly moments when he just counts 2-5-6. and will use that as an answer to any and all "how many" questions we throw at him! I'm amazed EVERY day by my boy..........too many to list, he's just the greatest being I've ever met, so funny........and sweet all at the same time!Casey is doing well, working his TAIL off..........60 hour weeks have become the norm. here lately. We don't see him all that much, but hope it will slow down a wee bit here in the next few weeks..........HOPEFULLY!And lastly, I'm feeling great..............got my energy flowing again, and am def. in nesting mode. Baking, cleaning............and always being reminding that I need to take it easy and relax a bit. But oh well!I'm posting some pictures from the last few weeks.............randoms w/ Parker and Captain and Easter.Hope everybody is doing wonderfully, and we'll be posting to you sometime soon! :) ~Beth

Hello Again.........

Gosh, I just can't seem to get anything done these days...not sure what will happen when baby #2 arrives!!!!

Its been a long 2 months for the Woodward family........mainly b/c Mommy (aka ME) was just down for the count with this little being inside of me. But I'm happy to report that I've gained weight like a normal pregnant lady, and am feeling 100% better then I was. I feel like a mommy and wife again, which is great!

Parker I'm sure is happy to have a mommy with energy back, b/c he is on the go go go.......keeping everybody busy!

We got him registered for Wee School, which begins this fall. He will be attending class 4 hours a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm so excited, the school is amazing and he will have so much fun going to his own fun place. Especially with baby #2 cramping his style!!!! :)

Speaking of baby #2.....I am a little over 19 weeks today, we still do not know what we are having, my appointments are not on schedule b/c I had to go every 2 weeks for a while there.....now that I'm back on 4 week appts. we don't go back until the end of this month. So its torture until then. We're working with Parker on our 2 names, and he does pretty good with both. I can't wait until we know, so we can make it official.

Anyways.....the weather is slowly warming up, so we've been venturing outside more and more. Yesterday we took Parker to the Waccatee Zoo (think more large wild life petting zoo then bronx zoo!) he had a BLAST, his favorite part was seeing ALEX and MARTY (from madagascar the movie)

I've attached some pictures from the zoo...............enjoy. And I promise to keep up with the blog more then I have!

Baby #2 is on their way..........

So most of you probably know, but Casey and I are expecting again. We're Due the end of July. Its been a very difficult pregnancy for me so far, though the last couple days have been an improvement.
We've been to the doctors 3 times, and we're right on track, everything looks really good.
Now that we can relax and start to enjoy this amazing time..........we plan on doing just that!
I'm so excited for Parker to be a big brother...........I know he will be a fantastic one!
Parker, my mom and myself are off to Vermont and Connecticut next week so get some New England fixes we need, and to introduce Parker to the snow!!!!!!! Its a hard thing for me to except that Parker won't grow up with the Seasons like I did in Vermont. So this is the best we can do!
I can't wait to see everybody and post all the pictures we're bound to have!
