WHEW!!

It has been a whirlwind of a few weeks!!

The name change - of me and the blog... The day before Emily arrived, my divorce was finalized... FINALLY... Back to my maiden name for awhile!

On the 4th, the boys had to go to urgent care... Both had strep throat and Ian had an ear infection... Now Hunter has an ear infection... It was a long 4 days while they were on their meds - they couldn't hold, kiss or even touch their new baby sister... It was so hard to watch them just stare at her. They blew her hundreds of hugs and kisses! They got their baby privilages back on Thursday so they were in Heaven holding her and loving on her!!!

Saturday we went to Grundy Center to watch the parade & go to my class reunion for awhile... Then down to a friends house for a bbq & fireworks... Had a great time!!!!

Curt had his first day back at work yesterday after another week vacation... It is so hard and different! Out of 28 days, he worked 2... I got used to having him home!!!!

Okay... So since he is out working on a boat and the munchkin is sleeping in her seat... I'm going to try to get some cleaning done!!

=)

6.27.07 Happy Birthday Punkin!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my little man Ian Tucker!!!

3 years ago my last baby came to me... Has it really been 3 years??

Emily Allison 6.25.10

She is perfect =)

8 pounds 8.4 ounces 21 1/4 inches long

It took awhile for her to make an appearance, 12 1/2 hours actually... But once I started pushing she decided that she wanted out NOW. The nurses told me to stop pushing so they could get the doctor... I quit pushing and was watching the nurses get things ready & started to feel munchkin moving, and the nurse turned around and FREAKED. After 8 minutes of pushing, a flurry of WONDERFUL & AWESOME nurses and the doctor making it just in time to finish delivering her...

We have our princess...

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow will be baby day!

Due to her lack of enthusiasm to come out on her own, the doctor scheduled an induction... I'm so excited to meet her & have the boys meet her!!!!

Never ending...

38 weeks...

Hurry up and get here soon baby...

Relief is in sight...

Dilated to 1...

Doc says that we will possibly have an appointment next week...

But maybe not...

Any. Day. Now.

Hopefully sooner than later!!!

Music

My iPod sits on shuffle, no particular playlist, just going through all the songs on there... It is amazing how many of things songs relate to life, my life, our life... make memories rush back... For example...

Miranda Lambert - The House That Built me:
This song makes me want to desperately visit my childhood home... I want to sit in the tiny room that was mine when I was in elementary. Sit in the bigger room that overlooks the yard. Wander through the rooms. But I'm scared to. Scared it wont be the same. Wont smell the same. That I'll be devastated and disappointed that all those things that made it OUR HOUSE are gone.

The Ting Tings - Thats Not My Name:
This song just makes me laugh. Watching Curt 'sing' it for the first time, with a little dance... I love it!

Ciara - Oh
Little to no words... Just memories!

Aqua - Barbie Girl
Driving the 30 miles to take Hunter to school when the boys started singing this and LAUGHING hysterically!

The University of Iowa Marching Band - Iowa Fight Song
Going to the Iowa game at Kinnick with Curt, Chris & Sam last year... Hot. But FUN!

Ludwig van Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
Going through a time period in my teenage years, couldn't sleep. Would put this song on repeat, listen to it about 8 times and sleep. It would still be playing when I woke up.

Shinedown - 45
Learning to play this on guitar. Harder than it looks!!

Johnny Cash - Jackson
I love this song. Singing it in the truck a few months ago and Curt entered his own lyrics... I couldn't stop laughing.


Thats just a couple out of a couple thousand. I love music. I love coming across a song I haven't heard in awhile, having a memory resurface and smiling...
