New Strickland on the way!!

In early December we were surprised to find out that our family of 4 would be growing to 5! Little Strick is due to arrive Aug 15th, 2011. There will be nine years between baby and big sister Angie, so we're hoping to have lots of help from the big sisters. This is a bad copy of the 8-week ultrasound picture taken with my cell phone, but I thought it looked really cute. Auntie Amy says it looks like a gummy bear, or maybe a turtle. Either way this little bearturtle seems to be able to eat like Daddy, because I find myself hungry practically all the time!

We are all thrilled about this coming addition, even though it means I lose my office space. =) So far things are going well. I'm moving past the "feeling nauseous all the time" phase and starting to feel better and have more energy. We should be finding out the baby's gender in early April, so stay tuned!
