38 Weeks!

Hudson is almost here!!! I am definitely growing. He is measuring 7lbs 50z, which is what daisy weighed at birth!!!! No longer a small baby boy! We can't wait!

And a picture of me at 38 weeks with Daisy! I think I have definitely caught up!

Another picture update

A Picture of Daisy before school on her birthday! This is her Tangled shirt that she also got for her birthday. I love how she is starting to show preferences. We braided her hair like tangled for school!

Disney on Ice.

I have been looking forward to taking Daisy for the past 3 years. I knew she wasn't old enough, but this year was PERFECT! It was Toy Story 3. She was hilarious! So excited the entire time. She talked and asked questions constantly, seriously cracked us up--I had more fun watching her than the show! Cannot wait till next year!!

These first two pictures are her expressions the entire time.

Afterwards Lilly and Daisy with their prizes! They kept arguing because daisy calls Ham, Evil Doctor Pork Chop, but Lilly kept insisting that his name was Ham. Funny stuff!

Hudson's Cars and Guitars Room........

We are not finished but here is the progress thus far!

The bookshelf, no toys or books yet, but I think this turned out so cute. Jen made us the Hudson shelf which fits perfectly!!! LOVE IT! The two cars on top are night lights from target--I also LOVE them!

His dresser wall is unfinished. We are looking for a shelf to go above the mirrors which will hold a couple "Hudson" collectible cars. The car photo to the left is also a Hudson. (and just FYI I would have had no idea that Hudson was a car if it weren't for CARS the movie and Doc Hudson is a Hudson Hornet!)

Jess painted another set of wonderful pictures for Hudson! (she painted a set for daisy's nursery as well) Didn't they turn out awesome? There is a mirror in his crib that we are going to hang on the wall to the right, as soon as we get another coat of paint on it!

His adorable hat hook.

This is the view from the door

We have a little more to do, but really we have made A LOT of progress! Funny how with your second things don't quite get done as fast! Pretty sure daisy's room was done WAY in advance of her arrival!!!

BUSY!

We have been busy around the Goff household. Last week was Daisy's 3rd birthday. We cannot believe it! Here is a photo update about what has been going on.......

First, we finally have Daisy's big girl bed. After months of her sleeping with her mattress on the floor!

Daisy's "Tangled" cake for this year. Her request of course and the best mommy can do!

Daisy blowing out her candles with buzz and woody (her gifts this year along with Disney on Ice tickets to see Toy Story 3)

Basketball goal from Nana, she is a natural!

Birthday party in the park. We were blessed again this year with fabulous weather. Everything turned out wonderful! It was a knight and princess party.

VERY difficult to get a group shot, here are some that we captured! The knights.

The princesses.

Eating cupcakes

My favorite part was looking around the park and seeing all the girls playing in their tutu's and the boys with their swords! So fun!

As soon as we got home we HAD to open our gifts!

Grammy and Grandpa got her this 'pink' kitchen. She had been asking for one for awhile. She was so excited. Her pots and pans make noise as they cook!

So much more to update on. We went to disney on ice sunday. It was perfect. Pictures to follow. We have been working on Hudson's room, I will update with that as well! WE are counting down, two weeks from yesterday he will be here!!!!! I still have a long list of to do's......one day at a time!

Potty Training--Revisited

Well, since my post a few weeks ago Daisy has shown MUCH improvement in her potty skills. She has been asking everyday to use the potty, and she does, but then she wants a diaper back on. So I have not been pressuring her and been putting a diaper on her. I felt like it really had to be her choice. Then last week she started preschool (at day care)---LOVE me some peer pressure right now. She has been in her big girl panties everyday without accidents!!! The one exception being #2. She knows when she needs to go so she asks for a diaper. SO I have been letting her. (I cleaned up one poopy in the panties and it was totally disgusting!) I just decided if that is how it goes for a while so be it.

AND THEN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She pooped in the big girl potty--twice!!!!!! She was so proud of herself. (and I am so proud of her)......Right after she finished and we cleaned up she looked at me and said, "Mommy, my poopy looks just like a hot dog"........hilarious! The second time she pooped she said, "Mom, I have some good news, come look in the potty." So I did, "Look my poopy looks like a reindeer, or a horse" She is one funny girl. So I guess all that work a couple weeks ago paid off. I am hopeful that this continues so that it is habit before Hudson gets here, 5 weeks and counting!

Baby Hud's Shower

A.K.A. the BABY-Q. I have the most creative friends. They threw us the most wonderful family shower for Hudson. It was a barbecue theme so they named it a BABY-Q!!! How cute is that? I have been slightly stressed about not having the nursery ready and not having clothes/blankets/burp cloths etc for Hudson. So we were truly blessed to have this shower. I feel SO MUCH BETTER NOW! I even made my final list of needed items. Thank you so much to our friends!!! I cannot thank you enough! We are so blessed.

Here are some pictures from our shower. Unfortunately my husband didn't get any pictures of the cute decor/food set-up. I will have to locate some from Danielle and then share with you. But trust me it was SUPER CUTE! However, my hubby did a great job of getting photos of our friends and family......

Hudson update

We had our ultrasound this week and Hudson looks great. He is just on the small side (measuring 4.3lbs which places him in the 26th %)--amazing what they can do with ultrasound. Daisy was 7lbs 5 oz at birth, which is average, but obviously she is on the small side now so we are not concerned about his smallness right now. He looks so cute. Since we didn't get another ultrasound with Daisy I had never seen a 3rd trimester ultrasound--it is amazing how much bigger he is! He is already squished! You could see the outline of his face so clear and he was sucking constantly--so cute!(praying for a good eater!) Overall a very good appointment, they are going to re-assess his size in another month, which may mean another ultrasound--but I feel good about things.
In addition, they did an ultrasound to my 'hernia' and they think it is likely a varicose vein! This means no surgery necessary--it should go away after delivery. Basically we are just going to wait and see--if it goes away great! If not, then I will go and see a general surgeon. So we had a very good week around here!
This ultrasound made Chris and I very excited. Although we both aren't sure if we are ready for the sleepless nights we are so excited to be having another little one around. Daisy is such a blessing. I looked back at her photos the other day and found this one. Amazing how fast they grow! We will keep you updated!

Fun Weekend!

We have had a really great weekend. Lots of time with friends! Our friends are all in from Temple and we got to spend time with Tam and Luke, Brian, Jess, Henry & Harrison, and Adam & Suni! It was so good to see everyone and we are so encouraged that everyone wants to come back to OKC!!!!!! WE CAN"T WAIT!!!! Here is a picture of Daisy listening to Henry's heart. They were so cute playing together.....quite the pair. She is VERY bossy and Henry is so laid back (little Brian) and so he just did whatever she told him too!!! Funny, funny!

Here they are eating lunch, and although Henry looks older than Daisy he is actually 7 weeks younger!

Finally a beautiful photo of myself at 32 weeks~! Don't mind the puffiness in the face--it has begun! At least I am on the final countdown. Thursday is our ultrasound day. Pray that it goes well (especially because I will likely have to go alone).

Chris and I were also blessed to be able to go out last night (went to see Crazy, Stupid, Love--and we both enjoyed it!) Thank you to Uncle Mike for watching Daisy. She had the best time and has asked for Mike to come back over multiple times today! We have the best friends in the world.
