33 weeks 4 days!

I've been so terrible about updating. :( All of my prenatal appts have gone well. I went to one this morning and Caleb is finally head down! He was breech until just recently. Hoping he stays down. Went to the chiropractor a couple times and I think that helped him flip. My sacrum was a mess as usual. 'Course then I fell over a baby gate and landed on my butt which probably undid everything. :P Anyway, I'm measuring 33 weeks and have gained 33 lbs. Ha. His heart beat was 136 bpm and my blood pressure was 101/68 or something like that. Pee test looked good. Skipped the glucose test and will probably skip the GBS test. I love seeing home birth midwives. So much different than going to an OB or CNM. I just drive over to Debbie's house and get checked out/chat for an hour. Kay played baseball with Noah today while Debbie checked Caleb's heart beat. Kept him from crying. Awesome.

Here I am at 33 weeks:

Caleb Glen

We've decided to change his name from Micah Jude to Caleb Glen. Everyone kept saying how Micah was such a pretty girl's name! Ack. And Caleb was the first name we were considering. Brian's friend Glen recently passed away in a horrible car wreck and wanted to use his name in honor of him.

He's been kicking A LOT recently. I can tell he's getting bigger and stronger by the day. Yesterday I could feel him two inches above my belly button!

"No me"

That's how Noah says thank you.

Noah update

Noah has been exceptionally cute while nursing to sleep lately. He'll nurse, unlatch to say something like "awwwwwwwwww, cute heart baby!!" and then go back to nursing. He also pulled off to say "I love you mommy" the other night. :)

His baseball obsession is getting more intense by the day. He now has to go to sleep wearing his glove and holding a baseball. And he wants his bat and hat to be next to him in bed. lol. When we're not playing he's talking about playing. Or watching a baseball movie. He dressed up as a Braves player for Halloween and he was adorable. Baseball and candy are his favorite things in life right now so Halloween was an all around awesome holiday for him. He knew exactly what to do, too. He'd go up to a door, knock while saying "knock knock," and then say "dick or deat." lol. He always took lollipops if given a choice.

20 week ultrasound

My appointment with Dr. Dott (the backup doctor for Debbie and Kay) was yesterday. He was very nice just like everyone says. He did my anatomy scan himself and said baby looks normal and healthy. :) Definitely still a boy! He's not shy at all. The ultrasound estimated my due date to be 2/29 - leap day. Haha. I think he'll arrive in March, though. Keep thinking 3/8.

19 weeks 4 days

Went to my prenatal appt with the midwives today and the heart baby's heart beat was a strong 147 bpm! I weighed myself this morning and I'm 138 lbs. Still four lbs less than when I got pregnant with Noah! I've been chasing him around the neighborhood while we play baseball and soccer instead of sitting at the liberry all day. Makes a difference! Since I stopped feeling sick at 18 weeks I've been SO hungry. I swear I could eat every hour.

I think we've decided on the name Micah Jude. :) Thought Micah went nicely with Noah and it doesn't seem too popular. Jude is in honor of my mom, Judy, and Brian's uncle, Gregory Jude.

Oh, and I felt him kick from the outside for the first time a couple nights ago! Felt like two little pokes. I feel movement from the inside all the time now.

We're going to see Dr. Dott this Tuesday for my 20 week ultrasound and blood work. Hopefully I'll have more pics to post!

It's another BOY!

We went to Baby's First Images on 9/17 (Brian's birthday!) to find out the sex of baby Tucker #2. The ultrasound tech put the transducer on my belly and we could tell he was a boy within about three seconds. Haha. Not shy at all. He looks JUST like Noah to me. Grandma Dewey and Grammy tried to keep Noah happy during the ultrasound but he got nervous and upset. At one point he held my hand which was really cute. Then they took him to the waiting room to play. Check out these pics and video:






My last prenatal appt was on 9/15 and everything looked good. His heart beat was 144 bpm. My mom and Noah got to hear the heart beat and Noah has been calling him the "heart baby" ever since. He also likes to hug my belly and say "hi, baby." Couldn't get much cuter.

I'm currently 16 weeks 5 days and weigh 133.5 lbs. Started off at 127. Not too bad. Hoping I don't get up to 191 like I did with Noah! Yikes.
