Good Morning

Hey there everybody. I hope everybody had a good night. Our night was pretty good, from what I hear. I slept right through most everything. LoL. Laci did good and Noah is a pretty good sleeper after night one. Hey woke up and ate every couple hours and sometimes would fuss a little, just wanting to make sure mommy was still there. Laci is tired but she just got a shower and feels a lot better.

Noah is off right now getting his circumcision. Poor little guy, had no idea what was coming to him. Just thought he was going for a ride. :-( He's been such a good baby so far. He didn't deserve this! LoL, just kidding.

He just got done with his hearing test and did great. He's still eating really good. I'll get some more pictures up after I get out of the shower.

We'll be heading home today at some time, probably around 3:30-4:30. If you'd like to come by the hospital, you're more than welcome. We'd love to have you. Thanks again to everybody that stopped by yesterday and for all of your prayers.

Last Post of the Night

Hey there everybody. This will be the last one for the day. Laci is feeding Noah again and we're going to try and catch some shut-eye while he does. He's been a good sleeper so far so we're praying the pattern continues. Thank you so much for all the prayers and the comments on the blog. They really made my day and it meant so much to Laci having all of the support from all of you.

We hopefully will be going home tomorrow as long as Mommy and Noah are doing well. However, if you would like to come by and see the little guy, please feel free to come by anytime after 10:30. Mommy needs her beauty rest. Daddy needs his beauty rest. LoL. Good times. Well, we love all of you. Thanks again and see you tomorrow!

Ella visits her new brother

Ella got to come see her new baby brother and it was absolutely precious. She was nervous at first and didn't say very much, but after about 20 minutes....that baby is hers! LoL. It's so cute. She's gonna be a great big sister.





First Bath Pics





Been a little while

Just got the room to just the three of us for the first time so I'm back. Thanks to Laci's mom and Lindsey Moore for keeping everybody up to date with the blog.
Laci is doing great. She is feeling good and has eaten dinner. Noah is in the middle of his second feeding now. He ate so well his first time and has been such a chill baby for the first couple of hours. He is so precious and sweet and I can't believe how in love with him I already am.
Of course, I'm sure what everybody is looking for is pictures so here you go.




He is SOOO beautiful!

You guys...he is so absolutely adorable! I need to figure out a way to get the video up so you can hear his precious cry! Here are a few more pictures!













Not even 5 minutes old!!!




HES HERE!
I think we are getting ready to push.

Nurse is in...

She's being checked now...the verdict...8!!!!!

In the Shower











Hey everyone this is Lindsay Moore. We're taking turns blogging. I'm here capturing some pics of the labor. She's in the shower now and it seems to be really helping! She's doing so well!!! Keep checking!!!
This is Laci's mom giving an update. She is in lots of pain and is now in the shower with warm water spraying on her stomach to help relieve pressure. It shouldn't be much longer now, Noah should be here soon!

Holy Contractions

They're coming good now. Minute and a half apart now. Laci's a trooper. About to give her some pain meds but she is doing so good. Pray for her because she's hurting pretty good.

It's Picking Up Folks

Just got back from lunch and Laci is starting to feel it now. Contractions have definitely picked up on her. They're real close together and getting really intense. Might be getting close everybody. Stay tuned for the latest.

Massage Time

Laci is about to get a massage from the massage therapist here in the hospital. We're gonna go eat so she can relax and enjoy it as much as she can. Will post an update when we get back.

More pictures

Here's some pics of the cast and crew for the Strickland Baby Sequel


The Leading Lady

Lead Actor (or at least his chart)

The Supporting Ladies (Laci's mom and sister, a.k.a. Dolly and Aunt LaLa)

Coach Ebeling

The Media, Paparazzi, Photog, Blogger (a.k.a. Dad, so weird to even say that & this is #2)
Still doing good. Contractions starting to pick up intensity but not regular yet. She's feeling relaxed. See ya next update.

Birthing Ball

So here's what a birthing ball looks like. Aparently, when you bring in pilates ball or a workout ball to a birthing room, it evolves into a birthing ball. Laci says it's a little weird but it better than just laying in the bed.







Game time

So, just like last time, time to guess when Noah shows up. Place your guesses here on this post. Also, guess weight and length if you'd like. Everybody knows (if you don't, you're about to) that his name is going to be Noah James (no suspence this time) so no "guessing" there. However, give us your suggestion on a nickname. Have fun and good luck.

Good Morning Everybody

Good morning ya'll. Hope everybody had a good night.

Laci got some good rest mast night. She's slept until about 5:30. But ever since then, she's had some really bad nausea from the pain meds they gave her. She's been feeling pretty yucky, but she's still smiling. She's awesome. They just started the Pitosin about 15 minutes ago. Her contractions had really settled down almost too nothing, but they should pick back up before too long now that she's getting the stuff.

I'll keep you updated as things change. Love you guys.

So here's the deal

We're going home...but Laci is staying. They're going to keep her here overnight. They're going to give her some drugs to help her go nighty-nite and we're going to head home to get that last good night of sleep. Laci is relieved. We're relieved for her. Prayer works. Thanks guys. Well, unless I get a late night phone call, that's all the blogging for today. They're going to start Pitosin tomorrow at 7:00 so that's when to expect updates. Love you guys. Pray for her.
