I cannot believe that I still do not have Tucker here! It is Monday night and I am sitting on the couch (uncomfortably) with a belly so large that I have to fully extend my arms out to reach the computer in my lap.
There have been so many milestones/ events that I have obsessed about over the last month or so - certain that I needed to prepare well ahead of time because my baby boy would be here! Making it to 37 weeks was the first. I laid on my side and drank water every day and did VERY LITTLE. I was so afraid of not making it to that day.
That weekend we had back to back birthday parties for Madeline's little friends and I wanted to take her to those so badly...I kept thinking, "oh I hope Tucker waits until after the parties so that I can see her have fun with her friends one last time..." We made it.
Then the small group pot luck at the Tinsley's- OH how I wanted to make it to that one! Steak, baked beans, potato salad, baked potatoes, okra, green beans, and Brandy's toffee cake...a pregnant girl's dream! We made it!
Then Mary Claire's 4Th birthday party AND the Daddy Daughter Sweetheart Dance last weekend. I was sure I wouldn't make it. As a matter of fact, I kept thinking that I would FORCE Tyler to leave the hospital to take Madeline on their long awaited date. I had hung up Madeline's dress with her tights, shoes, and bow attached so that one of the grandmothers could dress her in my absence and I had left strict instructions with my mother to make sure that no matter what they got to go. We made it. Madeline was a beautiful princess and Tyler was her "handsome prince" (her words, not mine). I'm really glad we made it to that one.
I asked for it. I said I wanted it over and over. I said, "I want a big fat full term boy." I just hope he's not too fat. There's no telling. While Madeline and Tyler were at the dance I drove to Little Rock for a vanilla/ heath shiver from TCBY. Yeah, I'm afraid he's gonna be real fat...

he's not going to be fat. he's going to be beautiful and have the longest legs ever. and he'll be so plump and healthy and he'll know how to eat. and he'll be a great, great baby.
