Whoa....Baby!

Well, the title sums it up!  We're having another baby!  A baby BOY!  We found out Friday that Baby Tucker is now Baby BOY Tucker (only ONE baby btw).  And, of course, Nick and I cannot agree on a name. Not even one.  He made a statement that whoever won the Masters we would name our child after (however, I did not agree to such nonsense) and wouldn't you know, the winner was named Bubba.  Yep, Bubba.  Bubba Tucker.  I think it fits our family appropriately. 

When we told MH she was getting a Baby Brother she replied "I want a cookie".  haha Well, I see how you feel on the matter.  When we told Lambeau he was getting a brother, I think he skipped twice as much as normal (bc only real men skip) thinking he will no longer have to play dress up and ridiculous games with MH.  He can chase a ball, chase the boy, do man stuff, etc etc.

We are excited about the new addition, but yet very nervous.  We had NO idea what we were doing with MH, and I'm a little nervous that we didn't learn anything either.  I do know that the first night at home, they will need more than 1 oz of formula at each feeding.  We starved MH the whole first night at home.  I literally called the nursery at like 6:30 am the next morning and told them this kid screamed ALL. NIGHT. LONG.  After we were on the same page of how much to feed her, things calmed a little.  Not much, just a little. :)

We are excited that it is a little boy.  MH will not have to share her "princess" title, nor her "prettiest little girl in the whole wide world" title.  Those are big.  And, I'm pretty sure she is not going to share the spotlight.  I'm just guessing....

On a serious note, I have no idea how I am going to be able to love another child as much as I love MH.  There are no words to describe the feeling I have when I look at her.  She is my everything.  All wrapped up in a 30 lb body.  So far, "everybody" has been right when they have said things like "God gives you the maternal instinct" and THANK YOU GOD for giving it to me because I had, like, zero.  And, they were right when they said "You will just know" "Your life has just begun" etc etc.  Let's hope they are right when they say "You will love them equally, but differently" "you will not show favoritism" etc etc because that is mine and Nick's biggest concern.  Don't fail us now!!!!

Below is our announcement pic. 

And, for the boring stuff, I am 18 weeks, due Sept. 11 but I have a C-section penciled in for August 31, haven't been THAT sick, not nearly as sick as I was with MH (I thought I was dieing with her), lost 11 lbs, HATE McDonalds, still like catfish, LOVE water, coke, and half/half tea, wasn't real fond of BBQ, but that's getting better, and
STILL.CANNOT.STAND.THE.SMELL.OF.SHRIMP.BOILING.IN.KROGER.

That should be against the law.  Period.  It sends me running to the front of the store, food left in basket unattended in the aisle. 

Like I said in the first post, our life is a wild roller coaster ride!  Hang on tight, the ride has just started again!!!!
