Bad Baby Big Boy!
This baby in my belly is making me a bit crazy...and I don't like it! I'm either starving to death or about to toss my cookies all day every day. It's a joy! I've also never been so thirsty in all my life! I even guzzle so much water to the point that I'm sick to my stomach! I think I'm a pretty strong person. I rarely get sick and if I ever don't feel well, I just kinda hunker down until it passes. But this kid is taking me for a spin!
I've also had the pleasure of experiencing some crazy fits of hormonal rage. I told Alec it's best for him and all others to just get away from me and not talk to me during these fits. He tries to reason with me and even argues with me. Not smart. Save yourself - head for the hills.
My emotions run wild and I find myself crying at everything...but that's pretty typical of me. You really need to meet my family. We're a bunch of cry babies.
My baby bump has really taken off. yea me. I have the bump of someone who is maybe 20 weeks pregnant - not 12! Now you can ask me if I'm pregnant or assume I am. I'm ok with that. But don't do this when I'm not even a month in yet. I'm not supposed to have a bump then...that's just fat belly.
Tucker hasn't seemed to notice Mama is getting fat and crazy...or at least he hasn't added those words to his vocabulary. He now says Dada, Mama, nana (banana), doh (dog).
He's also able to show you his head, toes and belly. He can even show you these things on your body! When asked, "Where are the dogs?" He throws both hands up in the air and gives a big smile and we say "Everywhere!". So cute!
Tucker's latest trick is letting us know he's ready for bed. Last night just before 8 (his bedtime), he walked over to the bottom of the stairs and looked over at us as to say "Guys, I'm ready for bed now." He did this a couple of times last weekend too - around nap time. Such a big boy!
I really think Tucker will be quite the helper when the new baby gets here. He's just so careful and sweet. And I'm pretty sure if I'm crazy now...I'm gonna be even more crazy in a few months and I'll need all the help I can get!

Here we go again!
On the Monday after Easter, I felt kinda gross and tired. I figured it was all the Easter food I ate and maybe sitting out in the sun all day. On Tuesday, I discovered 2 pink lines...again! I didn't cry or scream or anything. I just looked at the test and thought "huh". I showed the test to Alec and he was the same way - just like "okay". We went about our day like nothing was going on. On Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, I took more tests and each time, that 2nd pink line slowly crept across the results screen.
But this time was different than the last. We weren't busting at the seams to tell everyone. I didn't immediately start reading every single baby book, baby magazine, baby website. It just didn't seem possible that we were pregnant again!
The next few weeks, we just did normal stuff and only told a couple of people our big news. We still weren't 100% sure we were pregnant. It was just so surreal.
Though I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was pregnant, I felt pregnant! I was nauseous and super tired all of the time. I really wanted to be sure I was pregnant so I could tell people how I felt and get some sympathy!
Finally last Thursday, we got to see the newest member of our family! There was still a part of me that was sure the ultrasound technician wouldn't see anything and would be like - why did you think you were pregnant? I was pretty relieved to see that tiny baby and that beating heart!
Over the next couple of days, we told our family and friends and coworkers. I think I may be confusing Tucker by pointing to my belly one time and saying "belly" then pointing again and saying "baby". I think he'll eventually get it though!
