2 Weeks Old

It was 2 weeks ago that we added the newest member to the Tucker Clan and it has been a whirlwind. Life is now beginning to take on it's new normalcy which involves slight changes to bedtime, mealtime, bath time, playtime, and car loading and unloading routines. Nothing too traumatic so far. I only had one "breakdown" last week when I wasn't able to get the nap I was so looking forward to. I actually cried while speaking to Zac. Oh how I wish I had a camera for the look on his face!
Luke hasn't had any big milestones yet but he is already showing signs of his intelligence(of course). He really is such a good baby. He sleeps, poops, and eats like a champ! I don't know how I got so lucky all 3 times??

He had his first play date. (Eliza Rain, 2 months)



He finally met his big sis Sara.


He went to see Zac sing at the Claremont Shop and Dine event.


He even made it to Claire's ballet class and his first birthday party for his friend Amira who turned 1 year! He has been very busy!

I can do without this Swine Flu scare. I feel like I shouldn't go anywhere or touch anyone and that Zac and Claire should be locked up. But that isn't realistic. Life must go on. I am just doing my duty by keeping the Purell Hand Sanitizer company in business during these hard economic times. :)

Luke Jacob Tucker

He's here!
As I sat in bed Monday night enjoying one of my favorite shows, Dancing with the Stars, I had my first contraction. Actually my first contraction that didn't feel like the ones I had been feeling since December. I got up and straightened my hair just in case. As they progressed I put in my contacts. Then later I added a light foundation so I wouldn't look too hiteous in pics. ;) At about 11:30 (8 minutes apart) I decided to go tell Eric that it may be time.
We got to the hospital at 12:30, April 14th to find out I was about 4-5cm dilated. Mom and Dad rushed out because I had been warned about how quickly the third delivery would go. Well 11 hours later, after lots of pain, misery, and tears, all 9 pounds, 15 ounces, and 23 inches of Luke arrived.
