It's Been Awhile

I have not posted in a long time. Brad and I are getting the "hang" of having three kids. Rhyder has been sleeping through the night for the past couple of weeks, so I think that helped us!

Here are some recent pictures of the kiddos. The pictures of Guy and Rhyder are from this morning. Lorem was not with us, so I picked a picture of her from a few weeks ago.This picture was taken on our last "girls day." Lorem and I love girl time. We are the only two girls in the house and I miss her being at school all day.
Guys is ALL boy. This is a picture of him this morning. He was playing in the sprinklers and throwing mud balls at the bricks. Does not sound fun to me...must be a boy thing!
Here is Rhyder. He is just chilling on the porch with Guy and I. He is such a sweet baby!

Weekend filled with visits from FAMILY!

We had a really fun weekend visiting with family. We had an special visit from Brad's grandmother. Here is picture of Rhyder and Nonnie (great grandmother.)

Rhyder Owen Wofford

We welcomed Rhyder Owen Wofford into our family at 12:36 AM on 2/24/10. This was 7 hours prior to my scheduled C-section.
He is healthy and adorable! Weighing 7 lbs and 3 ozs. Measuring 20 inches long.

Rhyder has been a true blessing and one surprise after another. Brad and I thought our family was complete with Lorem and Guy. We found out this past June that we were expecting a third child. Brad called it our bonus baby. We were shocked, but happy for the third addition. We had a scare in the first trimester and were not sure that this pregnancy would last. Praise to God, the pregnancy did survive.

Several of my friends have requested the birth story. So here it goes:

We scheduled a C-section on 2/24/10. We decided on a C-section after researching and consulting my OB. I had a C-section with Guy due to placenta previa. We had considered a VBAC, but we did not want to risk it. The day before the C-section, I started having contractions. I contacted my doctor and I was told to only go to the hospital if my contractions were 5 minutes apart for two hours. So, I spent the day with contractions 7 to 8 minutes apart. Brad downloaded me a contraction counter for my iPhone. LOL! Toward the evening, the contractions become stronger. The contractions were not 5 minutes apart for 2 hours, but I was in lots of pain. Finally, we decided to go to the hospital. I had in my mind that they were not sending me home. I was in too much pain. We get to the hospital. They already have my room set up, because I am scheduled for surgery in 8 hours. Everyone is taking their time and the nurse decides to check me. 9 cm and my water is about to break! Everything changed. People are running everywhere, my water breaks and Brad looks like he is about to pass out. They tell me that I am having this baby really soon and all natural....NO EPIDURAL! I was not mentally prepared for a natural birth. I had planned on a C-section! An hour after reaching the hospital, Rhyder was born. Birth was amazing and shocking! Can't wait for all the surprises Rhyder has for us!

Donuts with Dad!

Lorem has been looking forward to Donuts with Dad all week! Fun times with dad!

Merry Christmas 2009

If we are lucky enough to have your address you should be getting a postcard in the mail. On the postcard is a link to this video. It's our occasionally annual Christmas....thing... Enjoy!

Just in case you're wondering what this is...let me explain. The animated alter egos of the Wofford family perform a very chaotic version of Rudolph with Brad accompanying on the Ukulele.

And just in case you don't have it already, you can download the Wofford 2005 Christmas Album. It's got Three Songs in mp3 format. (Go Tell it On The Mountain, Away in a manger & What Child Is This.)

Merry Christmas!

Catching up

It's been so long since I blogged last. So much has happened. We moved into our house at the end of August. We love it. I will post pictures soon. We found out this summer we were expecting baby #3. We call HIM our bonus baby. Yes, it's a boy! Expecting his arrival at the end of February. I am unemployed as of last week. My job was outsourced overseas. It is a blessing for us!

Long time no post

So much has been going on since I last posted.   Lorem started soccer last month.  Pictures to come later.  She has only played one game due to all the rain on Saturdays, but practice has been fun.  

Easter.  Guy had FOUR egg hunts.   Way too much candy for the kids, but so much fun.  It was awesome to talk about the meaning of Easter with Lorem.   This picture was with some of our friend's kids on Easter Sunday....hard to keep the kids still for a picture.

Lorem and Guy in their Easter clothes.  Thank you Gigi and Pawpaw!

The house has been keeping us really busy.  Or should I say Brad busy?  We have missed him while he has been working hard on the house.  He did an awesome job wiring the house.  Here is a picture of our front door after it got stained.  I love this door!
Picture of the brick in progress (it is done now).  Just waiting for the columns to be finished and then it will look like a Craftsman House.
Picture of Brad's handy work of wiring....thanks to all the friends and family that helped.  You can also see the Spray Foam Insulation in the back ground.  The Woffords are GREEN!
