Kids Say the Darndest Things!

I have loved being pregnant for this exact reason! Ty's nephews have been so dang cute throughout this whole experience. I am always so excited to hear there next comment or question. Its on a regular basis when seeing them. I have written them all down to remember but thought I would share a few...

Jaxon (7)... "Amanda, is Ty mad at you for having a baby?"
Before I could respond...
Connor (4)... " I bet he is!

Sunday dinner at the Tuckers. We were all in the family room where I was sitting down on a chair in a dress when all of the sudden Preston (2) came running around the corner yelling my name...

"Amanda I want to see your baby? I want to see your baby"... While lifting up my dress! I had to assure him next time I wore pants he might be able too. =)

Preston(2) "I want baby Braxton to come now!" "Tell him to come now!"

Preston... "He's going to be my buddy, Yup Braxton is going to be my buddy!"

Preston... (while running up to us at the front door)
"Did you bring your baby?" "Did you bring your baby?"
Amanda...
Of course I did he has to come with me because he is still in my tummy. He looked at me and said oh with a confused sad look. I think this is because we found out it was a boy and every was talking about it he thought we had it! Hopefully he will still be so excited to meet this little one once the time comes.

There are plenty more to come I am sure so maybe I will keep this going!

Baby Update...

I have had quite a few people request for me to have baby/pregnancy updates posted on here so here is the first! Better late than never.

I have been feeling flutters for the past week which has been so much fun. Tyler is anxious to feel them too, and sad it will be about another month or so until he can actually feel something when his hands are on my belly.
I am really excited to feel more movement and hope every day that i just might. But... only being an inch wide doesn't help with feeling much. He is still pretty little.

Yesterday I had my monthly doctor appointment as scheduled. It was the most amazing thing to hear the baby's heart beat after finding out it was a little boy. It made my heart melt. I was so excited. It's nice to finally know who that little baby is and identify it correctly instead of calling it "IT"
I never thought I would be the type to decide so strongly on one name before a baby was born. I always pictured going to the hospital with a few names & deciding there, but both Tyler and I absolutely love and agree on this name so we decided to go with it. As for now (Hopefully, because I change my mind too often) we are going with...
Braxton Tyler Tucker. Hopefully he looks like a Braxton. =) Especially for Tyler's nephews. They are dead set on it. The day after we told Ty's family my sister in-law Jaime asked if we had any names in mind so I told her and the next day we had Preston(2) demand it was baby Braxton. He had called it that from day one & if asked if it's a girl he even gets a little more demanding and says "NO baby Braxton!" So good thing it's a boy huh!

I have heard both sides to this situation. Many say its better to name the baby so you get to know it and bond with it while pregnant and have it become that person, and many say to wait and name it when you first see it. I am just not sure but I know we are pretty set on the name and hey I have never done this before so I guess we will give it a shot! =)

Can we say Sciatic Nerve...
I did not sleep very well last night!! I kept thinking I was sleeping too long on my left side and it it had just fallen asleep in a weird throbbing, stinging, burning way. Soon after waking up I realized what it was. My mom told me this morning she had it really bad through all of her pregnancies. GREAT! ha ha! Its still throbbing as we speak and I hope it at least calms down a little. If any one knows any tricks to helping this PLEASE SHARE!

What are little boys made of?

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of...

We are so excited to announce that we are having a baby Boy!

Tyler is on cloud 9! He started celebrating right away! I don't even think he heard the whole word boy yet either. Right after she told us Ty walked out and started calling EVERYONE! He is really proud to be having a son! I looked at the Ultra Sound Tech a while later and asked where he went? We just started laughing! He couldn't handle the excitement and had to share it with the world! He finally came back in when she was printing some pictures! =) ha ha! At least we have the pictures for him to see what he missed! It was so amazing! Our baby looks perfect 10 fingers and 10 toes I am so happy for that. In the end a healthy baby is all that matters.

This little guy was not shy at all though! He was spread eagle for us all to identify him! So there is no mistake it's a boy!

( I can't get the pictures to upload so I will post them ASAP!)
