So I guess the videos that I posted on Feb 18th didn't work. I just edited the post and hopefully fixed the videos. Check them out again and let me know if they worked this time. If they do work hope you enjoy them!

Our Little Project

Trevor and I finished a project that we've been wanting to finish for a while now. This was a table that belonged to my grandma, "Mutey", and Trevor and I finished it to match our apartment. I was going to take before and after pictures but I remember after we had already finished half of the table. Sorry:( but take my word for it, it looks 10 times better than it did before. We usually eat our meals on our living room coffee table, hunched over like animals. I'm just glad that our apartment now has a normal table to eat on and we can now have people over for dinner!

LOOK AT MY CUTE LITTLE MONKEY'S BUTT:)

 

 This is a cute little outfit that Trevor's sister, Nicole, gave us when McCoy was born. It's a little big for him but I just loved it so much I couldn't wait any longer to put it on him. 

 

I just can't get enough of my little monkey...isn't he just so adorable? He always make me smile and Trevor and I just can't get enough of him. We hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we do! 

So I'm sure that this doesn't count as rolling over since is was from his tummy to his back but he did it like 3 times in a row and we got pretty excited. He's 7 1/2 weeks old and this isn't the first time he's done it.


Grandma gave McCoy his first hair cut a couple weeks ago...he kind of has an old man hair due since he's loosing his hair on the top of his head:)

McCoy loves sitting up and being able to see around. He loves looking up at the lights. I tried putting him in my sister's bumbo and he liked it a lot. He was making some pretty funny faces in these pictures so I had to share them with you because they brought smiles to my face.

McCoy just wanted to say hello.
Time to get a little mushy...During this Valentine's time I have to express my love for being a mom because it seriously is the best thing in the whole world! I love waking up every day knowing that I have my little buddy to play with all day long. Looking back at how my life was with out him is really strange because I don't know what I did all day with out him. He is the light of every day and he brings a smile to my face every time I hold him. Trevor and I are so blessed to have him in our lives and I thank God every day for the joy he brings to us. McCoy is such a miracle in every way and we love being here to share every moment with him. I never thought I would ever feel this way about my little family and I never knew I could feel so much love towards McCoy and Trevor.
McCoy is such a smilie little boy. The last couple weeks he's been smiling and even laughing so much. Right after I feed him he's always so happy and smiles for at least 20 min or so straight.

So This video is from a while ago but I just wanted to show how strong McCoy is. He was about 1 month old when I took this. Sorry about the video being sideways but I'm not advanced enough to know how to rotate it. You'll just have to kink your neck for a little bit:)

They grow so fast!

I never knew what it would feel like to just watch your kids grow until now. McCoy is growing so fast it's crazy. I was actually having a hard time getting him to feed well and it was kind of worrying us. We thought he might have acid reflex because every time I was feeding him all he would do was scream. It was probably the hardest thing because I felt like I was making him miserable. I finally took him to the doctors to get him tested for reflex. They weighed him to make sure that he wasn't loosing any weight. Well the results made me realize that I was just being over paranoid parent and they didn't need to do any tests. He weighed 10 lbs 9 oz. My son that was born one month ago already weighs over 10 1/2 lbs! I didn't realize that he really was growing that fast. That's over 2 oz. a day! He was having a hard time eating because he wasn't really hungry. I've tried feeding him a little longer between feedings and fewer minutes. He's doing much better now and feeding him is much more pleasant. He really is getting to be a chunker and comparing him in pictures, he really has grown a ton. 

Here he is at 3 different weeks. He's wearing the same pair of pants and they are getting tighter and tighter:)

 

3 weeks old

 

4 weeks old

 

5 weeks old

 (I guess these pictures don't really do it justice. But his belly is for sure getting bigger.)

 

"Life is good..." That's for sure. Life really is amazing with McCoy around. He makes both Trevor and me smile every single day. It's exciting to wake up in the morning and know that I have my little friend to play with. 

 

This "Binky connector" is the best thing I've purchased. I never have to search anymore for the little thing or have to wonder where in the world it went when he's in his car-seat.

 

He's our little gangsta' :)

 

 Trevor loves his "Daddy Time" 

 

Our little man

 












Our brother-in-law, Craig, was nice enough to take some sweet pictures of McCoy with his really nice camera. Here are a few of our favorites. 

McCoy Keith Wood

I know we've had a hard time keeping our blog updated but we're finally going to share with everyone our newest addition with a whole lot of pictures and videos. Hope you enjoy!

Trevor and I at my parent's house Christmas Night




















We were on our way to the hospital.














We arrived at the hospital at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I was dialated to a 3 and about 90% effaced. About an hour later they checked me again and I had not really progressed so they told me to walk laps around the hospital. After multiple laps and some intense contractions they check me again and I was a 4 plus and almost 100% effaced. They told me I could stay! The IV was the hardest part. They poked me 6 times before they were successful. Ten minutes later, I had my epidural. It was GREAT! I got to enjoy every minute of the time in the hospital.



My mom and sister, Emily and Jenn, came to visit after I was feeling much better.



Shortly after, they broke my water and I was dialated to a 6. Trevor was being amazing the whole time. He was making sure I was well taken care of. I was at a 6 for almost 3 hours so they started some pitocin. Soon enough, I was fully dialated and ready to start pushing.


(No, that isn't a bruise on my face. Our camera has a dirty spot and we can't get it off. There are a few pictures that have the same dark spot so try and look past that.)




McCoy was finally here. He was born at 6:23 in the morning on Sunday, December 27, 2009. He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 21 in. long.













Cousin Ruby Rose came to visit. She was born exactly one week before McCoy.


Here are a few more pictures that we've taken over the past few weeks.



















Here's a video that Trevor took at McCoy's 2 week appointment. As of Jan 11 he is 8 lbs 1 oz and still 21 in. long. He's a good eater and growing more and more.



Hope you've enjoyed our extremely long post and I'll try to be better about keeping it updated in the future.

It's a BOY!

We want everybody to get the updates on our newly formed family. Here are some of the first pictures of our baby BOY... WE JUST FOUND OUT!
