Tucker is...

going to be a BIG brother!! I'm due December 11th. This is the shirt he wore to announce it to family. And here is the first ultrasound. Doyle thought Tucker looked like a lion in his first ultrasound, this time we got a 3D one. I think it looks like a stay-puff marshmallow baby! I've felt a lot worse this time around. I actually was so sick one day and couldn't keep anything down that I ended up in the emergency room with dehydration and had 2 IV bags put in me. I then found out I'm hyperthyroid again. I was before I was pregnant with Tucker, but we got it all settled before we even tried. Mostly the issues are a higher miscarriage rate, low birth weight, early labor, and issues with the baby's thyroid. I'll be seeing my OBGYN more often and I'm also seeing a endocrinologist every 4 weeks to adjust my medicine as needed. They'll be doing more ultrasounds, I have another the 14th of July (might be able to see the sex!), if not I'll have a 3rd a week or so later that is the normal 20 week one. The baby's heartrate has been great so far and it was moving around a lot during the ultrasound.

Tucker has been doing great. I don't really think he understands it all, but he loves to give the baby kisses and say "Ah Boo" (Love You)! It really is the sweetest thing ever!
