FEB 25, 2012 - JUST ARRIVED - JAIR WILKINSON

Jair was born on Saturday, Feb 25th, 2012 at 1:49 in the afternoon. He weighed 7.27 lbs and was 18.75 inches long. Natalie had a high leak, just like she did with Taycen, which means that instead of a gush of water, there was just a constant trickle. On Thursday, she was standing in Target and felt a small trickle of water. We kept our plans of baby sitting Ryan and Rebecca's kids that Friday night because it was the same scenario as before. On Saturday morning, there were other indicators that it was time to go to the hospital. We called Grandma Yockey at 5:45 AM to come and be with Taycen. She arrived at our house at 6:30 AM and we got to the hospital at around 7:00 AM. The nurses ran some tests and starting monitoring her contractions immediately. By 9:00 AM Natalie had dilated to a 6. At around 12:30 PM, Dr Smith finished breaking her water and by 1:15 PM she was fully dilated and was having heavy contractions. The Dr. came in and within what seemed like just minutes, and three sets of pushes, Jair was born. Our little blond bundle of joy!

I'm ready!

Lots of contractions and Jair's heartbeat was strong and consistent

Time to clean and prepare the house for our family and our new baby

On Saturday, Feb 11, we cleaned the entire house and moved all of belonging from our storage unit into the garage and house. Grandma and Grandpa Yockey helped us with baby sitting and meals. Nanny and Pappa Wilkinson joined in the cleaning and moving along with Jana and Dustin, Sheri, Tyler, Shalee, and Mitchel
Beth and Cort, Lexie, and Kalie, Lisa and Aunt Robin and Uncle Bill. We can't express our appreciation enough to our family and are so grateful for their willingness and ability to sacrifice their time to help us out.

with most of the heavy cleaning out of the way, pappa rested

Tyler saved the stairs from all of the pet hair

he really vacuumed them hard!

Nanny and Sheri cleaned all of the carpets

Sissy scrubbed until her hands were sore and almost bleeding

Thanks for the Valentine's day treats Sissy!

yum yum yum

February 2012 - This is going to be life changing!

Mom is due any day now and Mom and Dad are both hoping that we can get into the house and somewhat settled before by little brother arrives. A new house and a new baby.. I am sure that nothing will change and I will still be the center of my parent's universe!
