Baby Tucker Due October 5, 2008

The secret is finally out!! We are so relieved!! We are so excited to share our exciting news with our Family and Friends! We are expecting our first baby October 5, 2008 & we can not wait! We feel like it can not come fast enough! Deciding not to tell anyone until we were closer to the end of my 1st trimester was such a long wait & we are thrilled the news is finally out!
We are anxiously awaiting May to come around so we can find out what we are having! We will be excited either way but we have quite the number of people routing for a girl! Tyler's family has 5 grand kids right now 1 Girl who is the oldest and 4 boys who have come right in row! We are hoping to break the boy streak! Also my sister just had the first grand baby on my side which was a boy so it would be fun to try a girl out!
We ended up telling our families in two different ways...
For my family we volunteered to bring dessert to Sunday dinner thinking no one would ever clue into what we were up too. & they didn't! It worked out perfectly. We had a cake made with an Ultra sound picture on it! (THE PICTURE IS NOT OURS) The cake decorator did such an amazing job!
Tyler got dessert out and put it on the counter and then asked my mom to show him how he should cut it! she came into the kitchen where my dad followed. She lifted up the lid and closed it right away looking at Tyler and saying "No Way!" she started crying right off! My dad couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about so he went right for the cake. He opened the lid and starting celebrating! My family had NO idea it was coming! They are very excited!

For Tyler's Family we just couldn't wait any longer we wanted them to know so bad and couldn't wait till Sunday when we would all be together! So Tyler and I decided to fill a basket with Easter eggs and have them unscramble a puzzle. In each egg there was one letter that would spell out "Baby Tucker Due October 5, 2008" We filled 3 baskets and took one to his Mom & Dad and 2 sisters. We tried door bell ditching but our plan fell through once we got to his mom and dad's house and she opened the door as Tyler was walking up to it! :) ha ha! It was pretty funny! In the end it worked out perfect! They are just as thrilled to have Grand baby #6 on the way!!
Here are some fun things that were said by Tylers Nephews about us having a baby.

Jaxon (6) "Oh Man, You have got to be kidding me!"
Connor (4) " Amanda Who?"
Chandler(5) & Preston (2) Amanda is going to have a baby. "Is it Tage? (My sisters baby they have met twice) " Is she going to have Tage?"
