28 Week Dr. Visit

Today we had our checkup for the 28th week mark. I will technically be 28 weeks tomorrow, Friday. The visit went well. We got to hear Tucker's heartbeat. It was nice and strong! I have gained 20lbs to date. Tucker is probably weighting in somewhere around 2lbs at this point. My belly is measuring right on target. I also had to take my glucose test for Gestational Diabetes today. I should know these results next week sometime. Matt and I asked lots of questions about the weeks to come and preparation such as paediatricians, birthing classes, tours, etc. From now until the final month, we will have checkups every 2 weeks. We are getting very excited!! Tucker is moving more and more every day!

Fred & Sarah Get a House

Today was an exciting day. Sarah's boyfriend, Fred, purchased his first home. Sarah is very excited since she will be moving in with him. I am excited because they are 3 minutes away and will be able to help out all summer while Matt is on the road with work. Tonight we had a painting and cleaning party at the new house. They plan to be moved in by this weekend. Congrats Fred!!

Christmas 2009

We hope all of our friends and family had a wonderful Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve with my family...children's pageant at Church then back to my parents house to eat chili and watch White Christmas (I'm such a traditionalist)! Matt, the Dogs, and I woke up Christmas morning and opened presents. We then packed our bags and headed to mom and dads to open more gifts. After opening gifts, we headed to the airport to catch a flight to Rochester, NY to visit my grandfather and other family. We spent about 4 days there and were able to enjoy 5 inches of fresh snow!! I wasn't able to partake in some of our typical outings, but Matt enjoyed skiing and sledding while there. We headed home on the 30th. Matt spent New Year's Eve working and I spent the night with my dad watching the University of Tennessee football game. I can't believe another year has come and gone...wow! This year (2010) is sure to be a great one! We are looking forward to welcoming Baby Tucker into the world and experiencing so many things with him. We wish everybody a happy and healthy new year!!
