New Pictures!

So I followed Hudson around with a camera today, I feel that I have not been able to take many pictures. So here we go.

First a picture of the big sister eating cookies! She is such a great big sister and has been doing so good. Just a little needy at times for attention.Getting ready for an outing (right after this picture we spit up and pooped and had an outfit change)

Outfit number 2, playing on the playmat. He was wide awake for a couple hours today.

Trying out the swing.

Outfit number 3. In our crib for the first time. Look how small he looks!!!

I love that I fixed his hair yesterday after his bath and it stayed all day yesterday and today. We are doing well. Getting little sleep of course but each day is one day closer to sleeping through the night, right??? Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Mommy checking in

Hello to everyone. We are home! YEA! We are really doing well, just adjusting back to the no sleep routine that newborns bring! However, thankfully we have a good eater on our hands so that has decreased some of the stress we had with Daisy(in fact Hudson lost weight only his first day---from 7lbs 8oz to 6lbs 13oz, and then he never lost any more, which his pediatrician said is very uncommon! YEA Hudson) Here are some pictures to update you--they are not in order and I cannot use what little energy I have to rearrange them, so here we go.

Just in case there was any doubt. Could they look anymore alike? Who knew the Goff gene was so dominant?

Hair twins for sure. Chris is so excited about this! He is already fearing the hair loss!

Visitors! We had so many great visitors at the hospital. Here is a cute photos of the Powitzkys. Baby Sara was NOT happy when her mommy and daddy were holding Hudson! She did so well when it was her turn, she will make a great big sister one day!

Daisy meeting her brother for the first time. She was excited to hold him, but the excitement quickly wore off. She said he was 'very heavy', and kept asking why we were holding him, why he couldn't lie down in his bed? Everyday she has gotten more and more excited. She brought toys up to the hospital to play with, she has helped change his diapers. She has been SUPER hyper excited! She was able to bring a picture to school of her and Hudson and tell all her friends!Kisses all around! So sweet! Getting ready to take Hudson home.

LOVE daisy's expression here. She is seriously so excited. Daddy and Daisy went to the mall yesterday and they built a monkey for Hudson that has daisy's voice recorded and says, " I love you Hudson"---so sweet! She brought it up to the hospital to give him as a present. She is really doing well so far adjusting!

Aren't baby feet so cute?Packing up the car with a family of 4! Pretty difficult when mommy really cannot help!! This will take some getting used to!

Nana! How we could not survive without her. She has been so super helpful to Daisy, mommy, around the house, with food....etc, etc. If you don't have a Nana you should get you one!"Hudson's" gift to Daisy. A doll house with a family of 4. (Nana really bought her this, but it has worked out great!) She loves it!

This week has been a whirlwind. As I am sure you picked up on, I was lucky enough to go into labor AND have a C-section! Things happened so fast I'm like, did that really happen???? I am going to tell you women who do things all natural----I have NO IDEA how you do it! I was 6cm dilated with contractions every 2 minutes and I thought--there is no way I am going to make it! Thankfully we got our act together and Hudson arrived safely and mommy is relatively all intact this time around! Everyday I really feel better and better. We will be updating more soon! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

September 15th, 2008

Daddy, Mommy, Daisy Day.

Look at what we did today!

Showing off our Thomas tattoo

Getting on the train

What a perfect day it was. The weather has been beautiful and we took full advantage! Can't believe Hudson will be here in 36ish hours!!!!!!! WOW!!!!

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!
