That is what I am calling these last two months before this...
Turns into this...
And Ultimately This...
I have been told, and rightfully assumed, that life will NEVER be the same again after this little boy comes. I know it will all change for the better, but it will change nonetheless. So I am seeking the advice of those that have gone through it before. If there is only one thing that David and I are to do before Tucker comes, what would you suggest it to be? I've got the sleeping thing down pat, so I am seeking advice on things that David and should do as a couple. Leave me a comment and let me know. I am really curious what everyone suggests. Thanks! :)
I made quite a long stride today in my adventures in becoming a better house wife... I made meat loaf for dinner. Yes, that's right... meat loaf. And it actually turned out pretty tasty. I got the recipe from one of the sisters in my ward. She made it for us one night when I was on bed rest and David and I bothloved it. Along with the meat loaf I made seasoned red potatoes that were delicious as well. None of it was as good as when the Sister in our ward made it, but it was only my first try. :) The point is I made it, it was edible, and no one died. We had our friends Randy and Brittney over for dinner and I think they would come back again if invited. So it couldn't have been that bad! :)
On another note, I just have to say how much I love the Blue Symphony bars. So delicious! David got a Red one for us the other day and I didn't like it so much. So last night we rented a movie and for my treat I got a HUGE blue symphony bar. I didn't eat the whole thing last night, but it was demolished this evening! :) I LOVE IT!We rented a movie last night called "Run Fat Boy Run". It was pretty darn funny. I fell asleep for about 30 minutes of it, but that is about par for the course with me. We didn't start it until about 10:00, so I needed a little cat nap half way through. But, I enjoyed what I saw enough to maybe even watch it again. It was clean and just flat out funny. I recommend it to all! :)
I went in for my ultra sound today and things look fine. His hear is healthy and strong and he is growing like a weed. Right now he is estimated to be weighing in at 4 lbs. 11 oz. Right now he is breach but there is still time for him to rotate into the right postition. The Tech could tell that he likes my right side up by my ribs because that is where he was hanging out the whole time. It was seriously too cute! :) While the Ultra Sound Tech was doing her thing he turned his head and looked right in the direction of the camera. It was so AWESOME! That is how we got the picture above. My friend Brittney went with me, because David couldn't get out of work, and both she and I think it looks like he is smiling.
When I got home form the appointment I looked in ivillage.com to see where he should be at size wise if he were right at 31 weeks, and he is only techincally supposed to be just shy of 3 1/2 pounds. At 4 lbs. 11 oz. he is measuring at 34 weeks. So we'll see. The Ultra Sound Tech didn't say much and I don't blame her. There isn't much she really can say. I go in and see my Dr. on October 8th and he and I will then discuss the results. There's no getting around the fact that I am going to have a big baby. The question is how big he is really going to be. Only time can truly tell! :)
Here are the other pictures that we got today. Enjoy... I sure did! :)
His Poor Little Face Looks So Squished In This Picture
With Such a Big Foot We Might Be Getting A Basketball Player
I had a Dr.'s appointment today. Everything is good with Tucker and I. My BP was at a really good 110/80 and Tuckers heart rate was at 154 beats per minute. So everything is going really well. I am still measuring big so I have another ultra sound scheduled for Wednesday to see how big this little guy is. I told David that I would FREAK out if we went in and the ultra sound tech told us it's a girl. Sure wouldn't that put a damper on things. Even worse would be if they told me that he was only about 4 pounds, man that would mean I have quit a bit of weight to lose. The best case scenario would be that he is weighing in at 8 pounds, lungs totally developed and he is completely healthy. In that case all I would say is, "Cut me open and GET HIM OUT!" But, that is not likely going to be the case. I will keep you all posted with the new pictures and expected weight! :)
The Ringing Stopped! I honestly don't think I've prayed so hard for something as small as ears to stop ringing. However, in the situation it doesn't seem so small. I literally pleaded with the Lord last night for the ringing to stop. I was starting to think that life was NEVER going to be the same again. But alas, I woke up this morning in a much better place. I have learned that pregnancy is an interesting thing. There are definitely days when I think to myself, "I don't know how women have done this 12 and 13 times." INSANE! I'm thinking that we might just have one really spoiled little boy. The only reason I know that isn't true is because we both really want a girl also. So, who knows! :) Tomorrow I have a Dr.'s appointment, so hopefully all is well there! My weekend adventures poses a few concerns. Although it was a fun weekend. :) Friday evening we went down to Corvallis to have dinner with our friends Kim and Chris. We have made it a goal to hang out with them at least once a month, even after Tucker joins the group. :) They are just so much fun! So we met them at a DELICIOUS Japanese Sushi restaurant called Auomatsu. Mmmmmmmmm, we LOVE that place! I was doing okay at dinner. My ears were ringing, but not too bad, so I was in decent shape. We then headed over to Kim and Chris's where Chris set up a rousing game of Texas Hold'em for us. It was so funny. We walked in and he had set up a table with Poker Chips and cards all ready to go. It was too awesome! So we played and I totally lost, I'm really good at that. Right about the end of my chips I started to feel REALLY sweaty and light headed. But, I insist on playing Black Jack because I am better at that than Hold'em. Except for that night. I just got too dizzy and the room was spinning. So I quickly lost my chips and laid on the couch. We soon realized that it was only 8:30 and we were all kind of tired. So we talked for awhile to let my head kind of settle down and my stomach. Kim and Chris were so nice. They kept offering me things to try and make me feel better. They were so nice. David and I headed home around 9:45. I made it home okay without puking, and safely into bed. I am glad that we had a fun Friday evening because Saturday all day was spent suffering from ringing ears and nausea. Although, later in th evening Tucker was doing some MAJOR somersaults (he has been doing them since Friday morning), and David FINALLY got to feel the strong movement. It is only the second time that he has felt a real movement and not a hicup, and I LOVE the look he gets on his face. He gets such a giddy grin. He's so cute! Today was better than yesterday health wise, we went to church (the second two hours because I didn't feel great this morning), and then came home and laid on the couch all day. In Relief Society today I was watching my friend Emily's baby while she taught the lesson. Her name is Addie and she is dang cute! She's about 7 months old and has such a happy demeanor. At one point I picked her up and she totally went for my chest. She first buried her face right into it, and then started tugging on my shirt. It was hilarious! I just kept saying, "Mine don't work like Mommy's do." And my friend Heidi sitting next to me just kept laughing. Ah, kids are so darn cute! :) I can't end this post without giving a shout out to my wonderful husband. He did everything that needed to be done yesterday. My Dad brought one of their recliners up this week so we rearranged the family room to fit everything. It was hard because I so badly wanted to get up and help but between my ears ringing and the fact that I can't move furniture, I didn't do anything. David was great and made no complaints of doing anything. And again today he was so great. He made dinner tonight and rubbed my back for me. This morning I was joking around and asked him to get my hair straightner, and make-up, and mirror and fill my water for me. And he didn't respond so I thought he knew I was joking. So then I add to the list and say, "While you're at it, can you go to the bathroom for me to please?" He gave me a laugh and said, "If you have to go to the bathroom I'm not going to get all of that other stuff for you." It surprised me that he was going to actually get that other stuff for me. I felt like if I made him do that I would have been taking advantage of him. He's so good to me. So, thank you David for being SUCH a good husband. I LOVE YOU!
Okay, since Thursday morning my ears have been ringing CONSTANTLY!And they feel like they are plugged. I can hardly hear anything at all and it is driving me up the wall. CAN ANYONE HELP! Everyone just keeps attributing it to being pregnant, and I can accept that. However, there has to be someone else out there who has experience this.There has to be someone who has a secret remedy that they want to share with me.There has to be someone who can say that they made it through to the other side of the ringing. I miss the sweet glorious golden silence at night. I have limited time before Tucker comes and my golden silence is gone. HELP! I will try ANYTHING!
a. My fingers are FAT! b. I need a manicure like nobody's business? c. My wedding ring is missing? d. All of the above?
If you guess D you are correct. My fingers have gotten totally fat, it's really sad! Yes, I could use a manicure pretty bad, but I'm too cheap to get it done, and too lazy to do it myself. :) And yup, my wedding ring. David and I were hoping that my fingers wouldn't swell to the point that I couldn't wear my ring. But alas, the time has come, much to our dismay. While I was in California this last weekend my fingers got so swollen that my ring couldn't even rotate on my finger. So, today the swelling has finally gone down just enough that I could squeeze it off of my finger. For a second I thought my knuckle was going to come off with it. Man, we were so close. Only two more months and I would have made it the whole way. Oh well! I think I'll go to Wal-Mart and buy a $5.00 bling to wear for the next two-months. :)
I got back on Monday from a VERY fun trip to California. I got there last Thursday night and my Dad picked me up from the airport. It's always enjoyable to have that time to spend with my Dad. :) On Friday my Dad and I had lunch together and just hung out. Then when my Mom got home from work we went and got pedicures. Oh my goodness. The last time I had a pedicure was the Christmas after we got married. With my body all out of sorts as it has been in the last few months (gee I wonder why?), it was heaven to have my feet pampered and looking pretty. After my pedicure with my Mom, my best friend Lisa met me at my parents house and we headed over to Olive Garden for a girls night dinner. Oh my goodness it was SO much fun! There were about 11 of us there. I love all of the girls that were there. Some of them I haven't seen for almost 3 years. It was so good to be able to catch up with all of them. I will include some pictures from dinner in the slideshow below. :) Saturday was the big day. I had my baby shower at my sister-in-law Monica's house. My Mom, Monica, Tory, Katie and Amber put a lot of work into making it so awesome. I had so much fun. I was able to see a bunch of people that I have known forever that I don't get to see all of the time since I live in Oregon now. I had so much fun visiting with everyone and catching up. It was so weird that I was actually at my own baby shower. For so long I have been going to friends baby showers wishing they were my own, and now my time has come. It was so fun. Tucker is going to be the best dressed kid in town. He has more clothes than David and I put together, and half of them are nicer than ours. That's how it goes though. He is definitely a well loved baby boy! :) I am planning on going to California in February to show him off to everyone and gets some 3-month pictures taken of him by my really good friend Katie. She also took pictures at the shower, so I will post them when she has them ready for me. :) Before I go on I have to brag about this awesome deal that I got. I got the stroller that I wanted for my shower so I was DARN excited! When I got it home to my parents house I started putting it together and realized that in important part was missing, I also realized that part of it didn't work as well as I had wanted it to. So I took it back to Target with the intention in mind that I would just purchase one in Oregon when I got back. I wanted to hit up babies-r-us before I left California though since the closest one to us is in Portland. So my parents and I went and got dinner and then headed to babies-r-us. My main reason in going was to get the diaper bag that I really wanted. Then while there we thought we would look at the strollers. My Mom happens to grab one that was on sale. Turns out, it is the stroller that I REALLY wanted, but didn't register for because it was $250.00. I thought that was too much for a stroller. Well, this particular one was on sale because it was returned out of the box in perfect condition. So it went from $250.00 to $199.00 and I had a $20.00 off coupon. SCORE! I was and still am so freaking excited. I never get a good deal on anything, and finally my turn came! :) I saw my best friend Amber as we were leaving the store and I was all too excited to tell her my awesome deal. :) Anyway, on Sunday my niece Chelsey (who is 15) gave her first Sacramento talk. So my parents and I went to that. She did so well. Later that evening we went to Mike and Tory's house for dinner, and celebrated Cali's 2nd birthday. It was so fun to be with the family. Of course I always enjoy spending time with family. :) When we left that night it was really weird to think that the next time I see Mike and his family, and Bryan and his family I will be a Mommy with a little one. I think I'm going to try and convince my sister-in-law Tory to come out for a few days in the beginning of December. :) We'll see! Monday morning around 8:00 my Dad and I headed up to Oregon in the truck. It was the only way I would be able to get everything up to Oregon before the baby comes. It was fun for Dad and I to be able to spend all that time together. Just after we ate lunch in Ashland while we were going up a hill the transmission decided it didn't want to make the trip anymore. We pulled into a car shop in Canyonville and they told us that since it was driving OK in 2nd we should make it to Salem. We got in about 6:30 Monday evening and while David and Dad unloaded the truck I made dinner... Subway! :) Tuesday morning Dad and I took the truck into Aamco and the worst was confirmed... a complete re-build was needed. So I told Dad that at least in Oregon it's Tax Free. :) As unfortunate as it is that the truck needs repairs, David and I get to spend an extra day with Dad. So last night we took him to a BBQ place called Busters. It was darn good. Then we drove him around Salem to see all of the different neighborhoods that David and I would live in if we bought a house. It was fun! I can't wait for February when all my family is in town when we bless Tucker. It will be fun to show everyone our city! :) Now that I am done with all of my travels I am ready for this baby to come. Although, I am glad that I have a couple of months to get everything organized for him. Thank goodness my Mom is coming in October so she can help me get everything together and organized. :) I go to the Dr. again on Monday afternoon. Hopefully everything is still going good. I am kind of hoping that I keep measuring big because then hopefully I can get another ultra sound before Tucker comes. It would be fun to get another look at the little guy! :) I'll keep everyone posted. Enjoy the pictures below! :) I just looked at all of them and I didn't realize how tired I look lately. I'm telling you, this child is sucking the life out of me! I wonder if I'll ever be the same again! :)
I woke up this morning when David's alarm went off at 5:00. At first it was a normal day when we hit snooze. Then his snooze went off and I realized what day it is. My mind immediately went back 7 years ago to that awful life changing morning. My alarm went off like a normal day and I hit snooze. Then my snooze went off and there was this horrified voice on the radio saying something awful had happened. I actually hit snooze again hoping that it was a dream, and then snooze went off again and that voice became inconsolable by her co-host. I immediately turned on the TV to the news and saw the most awful site. It took a minute to register that it was really happening. Not yet understanding the magnitude of what was going on I knew that our Country would never be the same again. I was paralized by what I saw on TV for almost 30 minutes. I couldn't take my eyes off of what was happening. I finally gathered myself and got ready for work. I was working for Dr. Charles Dental Office at the time. When I got to work it was the most solemn feeling as I walked in. Every TV was on in every operatory. Everyone in the office, both staff and patient, was quiet just watching the television. It was one of the worst days I can remember. I kept thinking to myself, "these things don't happen now. These things happened back when my parents were kids. I only hear about these things in History class." And then it really registered, "Oh my gosh, this is history. This is what my kids will learn about in their history classes. I am living history and it is changing the world forever." How grateful I am for the many wonderful and amazing women who, without want for recognition, offered their lives to save the lives of those in danger. All of these men and women who still today fight valiantly for us to live a life where we don't worry about things as most country's do. Every day I am grateful for these men and women, but especially on this day I remember them because it is not history for me, it will always be the present because our lives will not be the same as they were. I have always felt that music is an amazing way to express your feelings. The most consoling thing to me during this time was all of the wonderful songs that were written about this awful event, as well as the old ones that took on a new meaning for me. So I thought that I would share some of these awesome songs that had, and still have, an affect on me when I hear them. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do. (pause the media player at the bottom so it does not interfere with the songs.) I pray that today, and every day, we remember in our prayers the men and women who are serving our country, and the men and women who fought valiantly serving out country and lost their lives. I pray that we also remember their families and the sacrifices they are making as well. I pray that we also remember our missionaries who are out fighting the most important war we can fight right now. I pray that the missionaries will be safe and protected, and that they will be led to those that are ready to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. I pray that people's hears will be softened to accept the gospel. And I pray that as they accept the gospel it will give them comfort in times of need, especially in the scary times that we have ahead of us as a country. I am grateful for the gospel in my life, and the comfort that it gives me. I know that all things happen for a reason, whether good or bad. I know that the Lord's hand is in everything. We can't control what the world does, we can only control what we do and the influence that we want to have on the world as individuals. I love you all and pray that you all remain safe always.
Alan Jackson - Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning
I got a link to this article in an e-mail from my brother. The subject line read: Oh Not My Daughter. At first glance I thought it would be a picture of some teenage girl with a ton of tattoo's and piercings. Unfortunately it was worse than that. It was a link to an article on the CBS 13 Sacramento Web Site. As I clicked on the link I was shocked at what the title of the article read "Sac State Grad Selling Her Virginity For Tuition". Shocked is actually putting mildly how my reaction was, maybe appalled would be a better word. As I read the article it got worse and worse. In a nut shell this young woman wants to sell her virginity to pay for her grad school without having to work. She blames her step-father who took student loans out in her name and ran. She feels that she is left with no choice (LAME). Apparently bidding is up to $250,000 so far. Because E-bay would not allow her to do this online (thank you e-bay), she is going through 'The Bunny Ranch' in Carson, NV. The owner of the ranch said, "Natalie is a very smart girl. All she wants to do is get her master's degree in family and marriage counseling and be a psychologist. She's selling her virginity to accomplish that," Hof told CBS13. "She's smart enough to sell it. This is empowering her."Seriously, there are so many things wrong with that sentence. I just think that this is so sad. What on earth would put this idea into a young womans head. Even more, what on earth would make someone spend $250,000 on something so special and sacred. I just can't believe what the world is coming to. I am curious what everyone else thinks. Here is a link to the article...http://cbs13.com/local/selling.virginity.tuition.2.814271.html
I went to the Dr. today and things are back to normal and right on track. I am so glad. I still need to take it easy because at any time my BP can jump again if I don't watch it. So, still a lot of lounging around for me. Some might think that it is great to have a legit excuse to do hardly anything, but let me tell ya... I feel like the biggest lump. It's driving me nuts that the apartment isn't totally clean, but I'll survive. Thursday night I leave for a California for my baby shower down there. It should be fun to see everyone that I have known for forever. I am excited for it. I'm also excited for Friday night because a bunch of my girlfriends and I are going to go to dinner at Olive Garden. It's been FOREVER since we've all been together, so it should make for some fun reminiscing! :) At my appointment I asked the Dr. if I would be getting anymore ultrasounds. He told me that probably not unless something looks like it is going wrong. Then he measured my tummy and he told me that I am measuring 33 weeks, when in reality I am only 29 weeks along. So if in a month I am still measuring really big, then we will probably get an ultrasound to see just how big this baby is going to be. Good heavens it would be my luck that I am going to have a 12 pound baby. AGH! When I told me Dad he told me that I should have told the Dr. that I prefer to deliver the baby without his football pads on. :) I told my Dr. that the 2nd string quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts weighed 13 pds. when he was born (David and I hear that during a pre-season game). The Dr. looked at me with big eyes and said, "I have never delivered a baby that big." My response was, "Well, I hope I'm not the first." So we'll see, it would be fun to see another picture of Tucker, but it would be even more fun if he was born at a weight of oh... let's say... 8 lbs. or so. :) Tucker certainly is becoming more active. He has started to stretch his legs into my ribs. That's loads of fun. And he has conformed me into quite the contortionist. I looked down at my tummy yesterday morning and the right side was poking out and really hard, and the left side was softer and not as protruded. David and I laughed because it looked so funny. Only about 10 1/2 more weeks until our little man is due to arrive. Then we can FINALLY see what he looks like, I can't wait! :)
YAY! I am so excited that Tuckers bedding is done. It makes it all seem so real now for some reason. David's Mom made it for us and I absolutely LOVE it. It is exactly how I pictured it in my mind. She brought it down for us last night when she and David's Dad brought David home from the airport. I was so excited that I wanted to put it all on last night, but I wasn't feeling great so I waited... much to my dismay. It was really funny this morning because David didn't want me to put any bedding on until he lowered the mattress to the second highest position instead of the highest. It concerned him a little how close to the top it was. It didn't bother me at all, but having it lower doesn't bother me either so I let him do it to ease his mind. Then I got to put Tuckers bedding all together and it looks fabulous. Just like a little boys bed should look... in my mind at least. I didn't expect it all to be done so soon, so it was a pleasant surprise when my Mother-In-Law told me that she was going to bring it down with her. Here are the pictures of the final masterpiece. :)
This Is The Skirt
The Picture Kind of Makes It Look Purple-ish, But It's a Navy Blue in Person
This Is The Front View
I absolutely LOVE the quilt Isn't It So Darn Cute??? :)
This Is The View Of The Inside Part Of The Crib
I Love The Simple Look Of It
Now all we need is a little baby to finish off the look. But, as much as I am tired of being pregnant, I am willing to wait until he is done cooking so he can come to our family healthy and happy. Don't worry, there will be LOTS of pictures of our little baby boy in this crib as soon as he gets here! :)
I had an Enrichment meeting this afternoon. It was weird to have a church meeting in the middle of the day. It sure made me feel like an adult, and a true stay at home wife/soon to be Mom. It was fun though. The committee is great, with awesome ladies. We planned the final details of our Enrichment Activity that is on the 18th of this month. I am super excited for this activity. I know, that sounds weird because normally I am the last person to be excited about ANY Enrichment Activity. But, I have decided to make a new found love of Enrichment. Mostly because I am in a family ward now and Enrichment tends to be more successful in Family wards. Also because this is going to be the first activity that I am actually able to go to since we have moved into the ward. It has either been our anniversary, or David's birthday, or I've been sick or out of town. So, I feel like this is my own personal induction into the ward. :) Anyway, so at the meeting today I got a little too over-zealous and volunteered to do the Foyer Poster Publicity Posters (after the person that was asked was not able to). As soon as I said it my thought was, "What the CRAP are you thinking. You are the most Non-Crafty person in the world." But alas, I was trying to be helpful. So after the meeting Lindsay (a new friend from the ward, as of today) told me that I could call her if I needed any help. So I got her number. Being the independent person that I am, I decided to head to the Dollar Store to see what I could come up with. It was there that it hit me again, "What the CRAP are you thinking. You are the most Non-Crafty person in the world."So, I swallowed my pride and I called Lindsay. She was mor than willing to help. Although not before she added a disclaimer of,"I'm not so crafty either. But I guess two minds are better than one. :)"So I went and got her and we headed back to the $ store. Together we came up with AWESOME ideas. After a stop at Wal-Mart for some paper we headed back to my apartment to put it all together. And, after3-hours of cutting, gluing, talking, cutting some more, gluing some more, getting to know each other by more talking, a trip to Dana's and various placement ideas, this is what we came up with...
The Twin Posters (One For Each Foyer At Church)
This Is The One That Lindsay Did Cute huh! YAY Lindsay, You Are CraftyThis Is The One I Did I know right, it actually looks presentable!
Lindsay and I had a lot of fun working on this project. We are somewhat worried now though that we may have done so well that they will want us to do the next one. We wouldn't be so worried if it wasn't for the fact that we think we have exhausted our years worth of craftiness. So I guess we'll have to just wait and see what happens. Until then, we will for sure be relishing in our accomplishment with this project. :) Oh wait, I have to make 3 cobblers for the activity. Hmmmm, I do remember Lindsay saying she would help with that. She might be regretting that offer soon. :)
DISCLAIMER:Alright, I am NEVER the first person to bring up politics in a conversation. Just ask David. Political conversations usually just piss me off. AND I don't want this to sound like I am or am not voting for McCain/Palin. This post is merely for your opinions.
I am curious of people's opinions on this whole uproar of Sara Palin's daughter being pregnant and she's 18. I don't understand why the media thinks that it is their right to air someone's private life. I'm being very honest when I say I haven't researched much of what Palin's views are on teen pregnancy and the teaching of abstinence in school or not. However, all of the things that I have heard in reference to this story say nothing to the effect that it conflicts with what her point of views are.
If you don't know what I am talking about here is a link to the story... http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24286193-2703,00.html
So herein lie my question's to everyone:
1: Do you really think that this will affect her ability to serve as the VP of the United States:? 2: Will knowing this little bit of personal information about her family sway your vote at all? 3: Do you think that the media should be able to expose these private things about candidates family members? I mean really, I wouldn't be voting for her daughter.
I do have to give appreciation to Obama. They aired a comment of his reaction to the news and he said that he would be the last person to chastise her because his mother had him when she was 18. I thought that was a good response from him. Below are my opinions to the questions.
1: No I don't think that this will affect her ability to serve as the VP. If anything this will show that she is a family oriented person as she supports her daughter in making the best of an unfortunate situation. Honestly, I bet every person that reads this post knows a family who has experienced something similar. One of my best friends got pregnant when she was a teenager and she has made the best of the situation and is an amazing mother. I think this will speak volumes of Palin's view on family support. 2: This information will not sway my vote one way or another. There are MANY more important things to look at that will have a bigger impact on my future and the future of my children. 3: I think that the media takes things WAY to far. Why do they always focus on the dirt about people and not the good stuff. Why can't they find god things about Palin, or McCain, or Obama or Biden. You SO rarely hear the good things, it's disheartening!
I am curious to know what you all think. I firmly believe that EVERYONE has their own right to their opinion and I am not one to debate it or tell you that you're wrong. So please feel free to leave your opinion. And, I would ask anyone that does comment to please not put down anyone else's point of view.
I have been told, and rightfully assumed, that life will NEVER be the same again after this little boy comes. I know it will all change for the better, but it will change nonetheless. So I am seeking the advice of those that have gone through it before. If there is only one thing that David and I are to do before Tucker comes, what would you suggest it to be? I've got the sleeping thing down pat, so I am seeking advice on things that David and should do as a couple. Leave me a comment and let me know. I am really curious what everyone suggests. Thanks! :)
