Graham Photo Dump || Week 1

Wednesday, April 13, 2016

Ever since our buddy boy arrived on April 1st, we've taken about a billion pictures and done nothing else except stare at our little guy. We are totally in love and smitten with our Graham baby.

I figured since that is all my life is right now, that's all I have to blog about!

In Graham's first week of his life he:

- Had to go to the doctor three times because of jaundice. His poor little baby heel had to be pricked each time, but he is doing awesome now thanks to some sun tanning in the window.

- He is super cuddly and my most favorite things are the faces he makes while I burp him. I love waking him up to feed him just so I can see his little face!

- His first sponge bath was on Tuesday and he was not a fan.

- Wednesday he had his first restaurant experience where he slept through the whole thing.

- Graham went to Starbucks for an hour on Thursday.

- He went on his first walk around the block. Daddy had to carry him for part of it because he was not feeling it.

- He is a great eater and gained weight each day we went to the doctor.

As you can tell, there is no shortage of love for our little guy. Here are some snaps from his first 11 days of life!
























He's Here!!

Friday, April 8, 2016




Our hearts could not be more full! We welcomed Graham Ray Tucker into the world last Friday, April 1st...no joke! Little guy didn't want to wait for his due date of April 8th.

He weighed in at 7lb 8oz and was 19.25 inches long. We delivered him without any complications and have been smitten ever since. 

For right now we can't put him down long enough to write out a post, but I intend to update everyone on our whole experience!

Okay, now back to the baby snuggles :)

dress // jacket // shoes // purse
How far along: 38 weeks + 5 days

Baby size: Swiss Chard? 20-22 inches and about 6.5+ pounds! I feel like his space in my belly is maxed out!

Sleep: I could sleep/nap all day. During the STAAR test yesterday I was one blink away from falling asleep. I get home and am exhausted, so going to bed at night is no problem at all. I sleep the whole night through minus the two times I have to go to the bathroom. 

Belly button: Flat and it feels like he could bust through it at any moment. 

Maternity clothes: Texas's weather has been so springy, which is great, but I only have winter maternity clothes! I picked up the above dress at Target last week. It is non-maternity, and almost too short in the front, but I am burning up in my leggings. My capri leggings and tee shirts have have been on repeat. 

Movement: He is definitely not afraid to punch around. He is also really low which has its own set of discomforts. He still favors my right side and it is quite uncomfortable when he decides to switch to the left.

Cravings: I'm just hungry all the time. I was trying to watch what I eat, but at this point I am throwing in the towel. If I want it, I eat it. I get full really fast and if I eat too much I am super uncomfortable.

Symptoms: Groin pain and tons of Braxton Hicks. Both of those have to be a sign things are moving in the right direction, right?!

Wedding rings: I'm terrified they will never fit again, ha! I haven't been wearing any jewelry at all because the swelling can be so sudden. Even my watch was feeling tight at times. Any sort of tightness kicks my claustrophobia into high gear, so I have just given up jewelry all together. 

Looking forward to: Him being here! We are ready for him and this waiting game is so suspenseful! I'd be lying if some moments I wasn't a little sad about it no longer just being Chris and I, but in no way does that mask our excitement for G to join us! 

Nursery progress: We played with the monitor, but haven't hung it yet and we are still waiting on the curtains!

Appointment updates: According to the doctor he is "low, low, low," but still only fingertip dilated. My cervix is posterior, but she made it clear that once labor starts, that can change within hours, so don't take that as a sign that he isn't ready. Once again, this suspense is so exciting!

We have an appointment later today, so if anything life changing happens, I'll share on my instagram

Happy Wednesday!
