Baby West is here!!!!! I am soooo Happy, I just wanted to share this email with Alisha.... now I am going to look at his photos! WooHoo!
Yay! We welcomed our new baby boy, West Strickland Brown, into the world on Sunday, October 8 at 9:45 A.M. He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long. And believe it or not, was 3 weeks and 1 day early!! Please don't be upset with us if we haven't called yet...we've just been so busy. And truthfully, weren't expecting to stay that night to have him. We thought we would get sent home. Surprise, surprise! We are having such a fun time with him and Scottie is doing great at being a big sister. We are sorry for the mass email, but thought you'd all enjoy pictures. Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support. The labor and delivery went great...much easier and smoother than Scottie's. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We just got home from the hospital today and are happy to be home. We love you all and thanks again! Love, Scott, Em, Scottie, and West

Hi girls, OH MY GOSH I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL! I'm back on the internet, and promise to check in more often now. Wow, baby West is here, and Jacque...you were right, you are having a boy after all. What's his name going to be? I'm so happy for you girl. You must be thrilled! What does Kailey think? Gosh, I feel like we haven't spoken forever! I can't believe you are already 23 weeks along. How long ago did you find out you were expecting a boy? Emily- Wow, I can't believe he's already here! I'm sure West is adorable. I'm so happy for you! How is he doing with nursing? Or are you nursing? Is he getting big yet? I'm glad your labor and delivery went well. I hope you are getting some sleep. Once you've caught up, come on by and say Hi to us.
We are all doing fine. I will get a current pic of the girls on this weekend. They are so adorable. Yesi is still loving her swim lessons. She's a FANTASTIC big sister as always, and she thinks the stars and moon revolve around her baby. Abri is getting so big (17 1/2 pounds already!) She sits up really well, and is trying really hard to crawl...any day now. She does what we call the "precrawl". She gets up on all 4's and starts rocking back and forth. She's very frustrated not to be able to crawl. I gotta' get going, but will be back in a few. Alisha

Hi again, I LOVE CABLE INTERNET! THis is amazing how fast it is! Anyways, back to the update on us...the new babysitter situation couldn't possibly be going any better than it is right now. She's so wonderful, and our girls just adore her. As far as me...well, I've lost 50 pounds since I had Abriyel. I'm really happy about it, but I still have about 60 to go until I've reached my goal weight. I know I'll get there...eventually. Now that we're pretty sure we're done having kids, it is easier to work hard at it. I'm just watching my portion sizes, and weighing every couple of weeks. I've lost about 15 pounds since I went off of Nutrisystem, (about 2 months now.) Losing it slowly feels good. Serge is doing great. Still trying to get the bathroom done, butevery time we fix something, something else comes up, so our toilet is still sitting in our back yard. At least we have a shower now though...ha! We look like hillbillies. Work is busier than ever. I'm leading up the development of a Spanish as a foreign language curriculum for 4th grade anglo students at my school. Since I'm a National Key Trainer for GLAD, they are looking at me to lead it up. It's coming along well, but taking up a lot of my time. It's nice extra pay though. We are also looking into refinancing our house so that we can lower our payments and save up money over the next year or so to buy our dream home...a major fixer upper in the country. That probably doesn't sound like a dream home to most people, but for me it would be a dream come true. (Remember...I'm a hick from the sticks...no just kidding) I just love living in the country and having a lot of property. Also, my husband and I have always been fans of fixing up houses. So, things around here are pretty crazy, but happy. Hope all is well with ya'all. Alisha

I missed you too girl, and no you haven't lost me...not even close. I"m sorry that you broked your ankle. You poor thing. I was just checking the other board. Wow, no one has posted on that board for like 2 weeks huh? You gotta' tell me...are Amanda and Crissy pg? Also, did Diane have her baby? I saw LInda and Em did...yeah! Where has Jennifer been? Is everyone just too busy to post now? I had an excuse, but not anymore. I'm so happy to have my new laptop and cable internet. It's so fast it's like watching tv...no wait at all! I love it!

Ok, lets hope I do not miss anything...... Yes - Diane, Linda, and Emily all had their babies. Linda and Diane both had girls. Linda checks in frequently, but Diane has been MIA for about a month. We are not sure how things are going, I mailed her a card about a week ago so I hope we hear from her soon. Emily did have West, but it has been forever since I heard from her also. I hope she checks in soon. No - Kris and Amanda are not pregnant, they have not updated their tickers yet and if you let them go long enough the tickers just start over. I have talked with Amanda via email, all is great.... just busy for her family. But I have not heard from Kris in a while. Jennifer was at her moms house for FOREVER, it seems like she was gone for about 6 weeks, but I am not sure if it was really that long. She was staying there because Quentin had some special training to go to for work. She just got home the other day, so she should be posting more soon. It sucks that everyone is MIA, I feel like I have (almost) noone to talk to. I know that I sound like a baby, but hey I am pregnant too!! Don't forget about me. LOL I knew that this would happen, it is all part of being the last one to get a BFP. But at least I have you, Jennifer and Linda checking in on a regular basis, and that is more then I had a few weeks ago. I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!! Ok, I am going to read your other posts now. Jacque

I cannot believe that Abri is already starting to pre-crawl!!! Just think, any day now she will be all over the house..... and she might even be walking in time to pull down the Christmas tree!!!! I will be sure to check in over the weekend so I can see the new photos of the girls, I bet they both look so big! --- I was about 18 weeks when I had my first sonogram, and 19 weeks when I had my second. At the frirst one we were told that they were almost positive it was a boy, but after the fall I had a second sonogram and that is when they confirmed it. We are going to name him Garrett Michael Louis Komnick. I am so glad we found out.... I am having so much fun shopping!!! Kailey is throwing my shower, and she is going to plan it with a football theme!!! How cool is that! Our next baby can be a suprise! --- I feel great, just tired and achey. He moves all of the time and I am getting really big. His heartbeat averages around 148 and I have gained about 15 pounds. Ok, I have one last post to read and then I will be all caught up! Jacque

Hey girl, I'm glad to hear from you. I promise I won't forget you. I'm so sorry that everyone is too busy to check in...but just think, pretty soon you will be too! It would suck to be the last one pg, and have hardly anyone to talk to. I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy to be able to talk to you again now that I have my laptop. It is so great, and faaaaaaaaaast! Now, I'm going to see if I can remember how to upload a picture and get it in my message. My fear is that something will screw up myaccount again. If something happens and you don't hear from me for a few days, please email me. My new email is... mommy2abriyesi@hotmail.com
Love ya girl, Alisha P.S. I will post more with my pics...I miss you! I can't flippin' believe that you are already 24 weeks and 5 days pg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we had another ultrasound this afternoon because I was measuring a few weeks ahead of my due date last week at my appointment. The doctor wanted to see if the baby was measuring big too. Which she is. Looks like we are going to have a big baby! She weighs 4 pounds, 5 ounces and is in the 69th percentile for weight gain, which the technician said means she will probably be an 8-9 pound baby. Everything still looks good, except for the fact that we are measuring bigger than we should be. According to today's ultrasound our due date would be December 29th, not January 11th.
We were hoping that we were going to be able to get a good shot of her face today since we have yet to get one, but as usually she was being shy. Everytime that the technician went to look at her face she would throw her little hands up in front of her face or turn her head. We did get one cute picture however. It only shows her nose and lips but it is adorable. We have both decided that we should have named her Aryanna Jolie because in the picture her lips are big and plump just like Angelina Jolie's! I will scan the picture tomorrow because the proud daddy decided to take the ultrasound picture with him to work tonight to show his little girl off!
Alisha - Glad to see you got your new computer and are able to check in with us more often! I can't wait to see new pictures of your beautiful daughters!!!

Hi Ladies!!!! Sorry ladies I've been MIA for awhile I've been blocked at work and that's where I use to go on alot. When I get home from work it's around 7:00 and have to get Sara ready for Daycare the next day and get me ready so I really don't have much time anymore. Sara is doing really well getting big and doing alot of silly things. The only thing is though she keeps getting runny noses from Daycare which is really annoying. I have to keep taking her to the doctors. She already had an ear infection and a cough at almost 5 months. The doc says it's better know than when she goes to school I GUESS. She weights probably 14pds and is going for her 3rd round of shots next month. I can't believe how FAST THEY GROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me not going to have another BABY until Sara is 1yr old or potty trained it's hard enough I think with her. But can't wait to have a Sister or Brother for her someday . I'm happy to hear that everybody else on the board is doing great and can't wait to hear that everybody has delivered their babies. It seems that everybody is having Girls but you Jacque you broke the train YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA. Miss talking to you ladies and I promise I will keep in touch more often. Kristina

Hi guys, Wow Jenn, you should change her name to Jolie Aryana. Wouldn't that be so stinkin' cute, and what a story to tell when she grown up. She looks adorable...just like momma. I wish I could get my pics posted. We're gonna' try again tonight. Hi Kris, Sara is so cute. Look how big she is! I don't know why, but I was still expecting to see a little tiny baby, not a big thriving one. She's darling. I'm gonna' try to post my ics for showing off again tonight. Jacque, How's it going? Have you heard anymore from Em? Would you please give me her email address, now that I have email again, I'd like to contact her. I hope you are having a nice and lazy day today. Alisha
