Smalls has arrived...

On March 31, 2009 at 9:15am Jett Cooper Strickland was born. He weighed in at 10 lbs 9 oz and 20 1/2 inches. Here are some pictures of Smalls...

D-Day!

Or should I say C-day. I will be having a c-section tomorrow morning! Big Baby, hubby needs to leave again, no April fool's day child = Happy Mother and Anniversary to me! I can't wait to see how BIG he really is!

Birthday Party!

Highlights from Aspens Birthday party! She had so much fun with all her cousins! We had an easter egg hunt instead of a pinata and that was a lot of fun for the kids. She wanted a Hannah Montana cupcake cake and it was delicious! She was so dramatic when she opened her presents...My Drama Queen! She loved everything she got. Thanks to everyone! Then daddy bought a balloon for each of the kids to let go in the sky!

SURPRISE SURPRISE!

Gotch ya ! I haven't had the baby yet. He didn't come on his "birth" day. I thought he would come on the 26th of March, apparently I was wrong again. Ok so when the heck is he going to come. I am having contractions and his daddy is finally home, so hopefully he will arrive into this world sooner than later! Here I am a day short of 39 weeks!
I can't believe I made it to 39 weeks because my last two were born in the 38th week!I just finished this cutie!

How Quickly Things Can Change!

So I went to the perinatologist and the BIG BOY was only 8lbs 6 oz give or take a pound and the way I look and feel I would say give a pound more. But needless to say c-section off unless I get totally impatient by next Monday. The reasoning now... I have had a 9lb 5oz baby and have a great pelvis (a compliment from a OB you know). Anyway so my cervix is not ready like it usually is so like I said if it is not ready by Monday, I can opt for a c-section (because I have had one with Aspen) but the doc's say it is not necessary and he will talk me out of it before he does...but I'll decide if I want a baby on my anniversary...which is Tuesday sounds like a good day to me!

P.S. Any suggestions on how to get a cervix ready naturally...because I have had a c-section they can't do any harsh measures because it can be too much on my scar. Pray for cervix dilation:)

Coming TOO Fast!

So I know like a month ago I was saying "get this kid out and now" well now that it is so close it is a little scary. I have a very big baby in my tum tum (guesses welcome) and will be having a c-section. Hooray! Not really that excited, but depending on what the specialist says on Monday I will be having this baby soon. (For sure by Friday the 27th)
We still don't have a name and that is quite annoying we just can't decide and according to everyone our expectations are pretty high.
We will keep you all updated!

My Beautiful Baby Girl Is 5!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby girl! We love you so much and we are so grateful for you in our lives. I hope you have a wonderful day! You have changed so much and I have loved to see you grow up to be my big helper. I can't wait to see you with your new baby brother!
