Big Week!

Hello all I can't believe it's been 10 weeks since I've posted! Tucker's going to be 13 weeks tomorrow, let's just say it's been busy getting used to being a mama of two, but also wonderful! Tucker is a very sweet, happy content little guy he really only cries for 3 reasons...poopy diapers, wants to eat, or wants to sleep (swaddled and in his own bed by the way haha)! Tate really loves his little brother he always wants to kiss or hug him and is always trying to find a little friend for Tucker to have! Tate loves to have Tyrone (from the backyardigans) so he feels Tuck needs a friend, in fact we kinda have to watch him because I'll go in and Tucker will have like 3 friends in his bed with him, so sweet! Anyway, Tucker turns 13 weeks...I turn 27 and Rob and I celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary! What a wonderful week! We feel very blessed with what God has blessed us with... 2 amazing boys and much more...we've learned a lot since day 1 and are so excited to see what God has in store for the rest of our journey! I thought I would leave u with a few updated pics of the boys!

Tucker having tummy time with his blankie of course! He's a blankie boy already!
Tate playing in the rain! We were all coming in the house or so I thought then I turned around to find Tate playing in the rain! So fun being 3!

I love these two! Robbie was comforting Tucker see that pout in the first pic and then it slowly turns into tears and drool awww poor guy...for the record he was tired haha!
Tuck's 1st swim!
Happy at the pool!
Relaxing...yes those are gDiapers! We have started cloth diapering and really love it actually it's a lot easier than I expected and very cost effective for us!
And of course Tate loves to swim and has done a great job with his floaties and we are hoping he learns a little more about how to swim on his own this summer! He's still a happy boy too!

Enjoy!

Introducing Tucker Drew...

Tucker Drew arrived on March 9, 2010 at 4:20 pm weighing 7 lbs. 13 oz. and measuring 21 inches long. We are so blessed to now have two little boys! Tate is really loving his brother! Here are a few pics of the last 3 weeks!

Starting at the beginning this is me at 39 weeks pregnant!

We decided to go ahead and have my water broken on Tuesday March 9th since I was having great progress and was more than ready to have this little boy! Here's Robbie and I at the hospital!

This is were it gets ugly haha! We walked and walked for awhile trying to get contractions to be strong and regular this was our walking team...Robbie, my mom, my doula, Carol, and behind the camera Melissa! By the way they were all great and are the best labor team ever! Notice I am still smiling!
And then 7 1/2 hours later...lots of wonderful techniques and help from my team...he came! Here we are with our doctor who was the greatest!
Tate came and met his baby brother...he was shy at first but warmed up quickly!
We've had a lot of family and friends visit which has been wonderful! Here are Tate and Tucker with there "T" shirts!
And now he's growing....here at 1 week!

Snow days!

Today was our first day with snow! Let me just say that for Tate that was so exciting. Of course it takes you almost as long to get dressed for the snow as it does to actually play in it. We ran and chased each other and threw snowballs he wanted to make a snowman but with only an inch of snow that doesn't work out really well. Here are some pics of T in the snow! OH yes and how could we forget his favorite toy his mower he had to try it and finally set it aside and declared it's too hard in the "now"! Haha!


OH yes and for those interested I thought I would post a pic of my updated belly! He's growing growing growing! I'm almost 27 weeks so hard to believe and so exciting!

Baby Boy #2

Today we had our ultrasound for our baby. Robbie, Tate and I all went and it was so fun to hear that we are having another baby boy! Tate looked at the ultrasound lady as if she was saying nothing new because he had already decided he was having a baby brother and guess what, he was right! The baby is measuring a little big (about a week) which was similar to Tate but everything looks great they told us. We are so excited and feel a big relief to know that the baby is healthy. So here are some pics from today!
His nose looks exactly like Tate's did in the womb!

Yes we found out about a minute into the process that it's a boy he wasn't being shy!

I love this picture of his spine, he kept moving around the whole time arching his back and chest it was quite funny.

We are so excited to meet this little one in March! Love you buddy!

P.S. Robbie is quite excited to be growing his sports teams!

The Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday we woke up to a beautiful day so we decided to head to the pumpkin patch and were blessed to have Auntie Melissa with us. Tate had so much fun, he rode a train painted like a cow, rode a pony, hunted for the perfect pie pumpkin (he had a hard time b/c most of them were dirty and he wanted to find one without dirt on it haha) and a "big" pumpkin too. He also lead us all on a corn maze, we ate the best pork tenderloin sandwiches and homemade apple cinnamon donuts and drank some great apple cider. We had fun and were so thankful for a lovely day. Enjoy the pics!




All worn out! Those are the best activities when they just get plain tuckered out!

Hockey Night in...Fishers

I guess in our attempt to enjoy the season of fall that's coming soon, and Tate's eagerness to "play hockey" we decided we would take Tate to the Forum for a little skating lesson. He woke up on Saturday morning and as usual we put his little undies on since we are in the midst of potty training and he decided he wanted to have his "hockey shoes" as he calls them on. So Rob laced them up and got out his hockey helmut and entertained the little fellow. But I guess that wasn't good enough as later that day we ended up at the ice rink. Me being pregnant I decided to stay off the ice and take some pics! Tate was really excited to say the least. He stepped on the ice and within the first minute he fell on his bum and told us very cleary "done." Well, as you know the time it takes to get an almost 3 year old anywhere much less in warm clothes, hockey skates and helmut we knew we couldn't give up there. So after Robbie rode him around the rink on his belly as Tate says Tate decided with a little motivation that he was ready to try again. It ended up that we had to offer some concession stand popcorn to get him to come off the ice. He had a great time and I loved watching them. I think Tate's favorite part was going in and out of the bench!
Can you see how excited he is?
You'd never believe how long it took him to learn how to do thumbs up! So here's 2 thumbs up!
Aren't they cute?!
Looking pro!
Checking Tate into the boards haha!
Tate's favorite: the benches!

How's that for hockey hair!
I know aesthetically this pic is not perfect but I think it's my favorite! Something about the scratched glass and Tate behind it that I love!


Good night!

Two posts in one day, must be important...

Well, hi again friends and family...I have been waiting to share this news for a while strictly out of fear but we are very excited to say that we are expecting a baby again! YEAH!! I am 14 1/2 weeks pregnant and so far everything has looked great according to my doctor. I started with two blood tests to check hormone levels, I've had two ultrasounds, and heard and seen the baby's heartbeat. We have been nervous since we lost our baby this past April but to say the least are very excited to be pregnant again! Here is a picture of Robbie and I and the baby of course at 14 weeks! Oh yeah I am due March 12th!Hopefully going to try to upload pics of the little bean's ultrasound in a later post!
