My 22 week and 6 Day Appointment

Well...its been a while since my last post! Its been soo busy with work and the holidays that I have not had a chance to post! We finally got our pictures from last week's appointment scanned to post for you guys! Our appointment on Tuesday, the 30th went GREAT! Mr. Tucker weighs 1 lb and 3 oz.! He was showing off for us doing all his gymnastic stunts! In fact, in one of these pictures he is bent in half-legs over body! Haha! He is definitely flexible and likes to kick ALOT! He is so stinkin' cute on the 4D pictures! Dr. Hales said my amniotic fluid levels, cervix, etc are normal at this point! I am having sausage feet (swelling) every once in a while but my blood pressure and everything are totally normal! I noticed on Saturday that I was able to actually see my tummy move when he was moving! So cool! We took a tummy picture last weekend---I need to post it! My tummy is definitely growing which has been quite the experience! :) Work is going great for Grant! He is having fun making changes to his off-roading vehicle, too! We are busy deciding on baby bedding and organizing rooms! I have a feeling this will continue to the very end! We are enjoying it! Hope all is well and Happy New Year!

20 Week Appointment

We went to Dr. Lampkin's office for our 20 week visit today. Everything continues to be going great and very smoothly. I still haven't been sick! Yea! Ever since I started feeling the "real kicking" last Friday, Tucker hasn't stopped! He kicks all the time! I played with the ultrasound machine at work the other night but it turned out he didn't want to play! We have our next appointment with Dr.Hales on December 30th. We will get more US pictures and we will also find out how much he is weighing and check all my fluid levels etc.! That should be fun! Grant and I are trying to get all of our last minute Christmas shopping done and presents wrapped before I have a long stretch of work that will lead right into going to Dallas for Christmas! I can't wait!

Kicking/Hiccups

Around 7:30 this morning I was laying in bed after waking up from a dream. Suddenly, I felt something funny in my tummy. It was rhythmic....hiccups! And then a few movements that seemed to resemble kicking! I just laid there taking in every movement! Like I have said before, I have felt flutters but today was the most distinct feeling of any other day! I hope to feel him move more and more everyday (and I know I will;) )! Anyone that knows me knows that I am NOT a morning person. I couldn't go back to sleep after feeling Mr. Tucker--how special!....Anyways-Grant and I are doing well. We decorated the house for Christmas last night! Our last time by ourselves for Christmas! Wow! It looks so pretty and I love being surrounded by Christmas decorations! I am frantically trying to get all my presents bought for the family! I realized yesterday that there are only a few more days left to go shopping with my work schedule, etc! Aghh! We go for your 20 week appointment next Thursday! I will have more Tucker updates then! For now-----everyone enjoy the days until Christmas! I know I will!

Its a.....?

Well...we finally revealed our secret to the 25 + family members over at Grant's for Thanksgiving, including my immediate family too. We still have to tell my dad and stepmom on Sunday on the way back to Lubbock! :) We are proud to announce-Its a BOY!!!! I decided I couldn't just "tell" everyone, I had to get my creative juices flowing and make something fun! So...I made these glass ornaments to let everyone know its a boy! (I will post pictures soon.) I gave one little box to my mom and one to Grant's mom to open today. Perfect to hang on the tree for the upcoming Christmas holiday. His name will be Tucker James Coss! I think we are pretty much set on the name---don't think there will be any changes! We have been looking at old photos from when Grant and I were babies. Fun to imagine the mixture of the two! There will be more to come in the following weeks I am sure. I am still feeling great and feeling little "flutters"every now and then. Nothing big yet! We are going to spend the rest of the weekend doing a little shopping, football watching, visiting with family, and watching the Tech v. Baylor game at Jenny and Scott's house with Cody and Amy + baby Sage! Have a great holiday weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

"Official" Ultrasound

Today Grant and I saw Dr. Hales, our maternal fetal medicine doctor. For those of you who don't know, he is a more specialized doctor that will follow me and my baby throughout the pregnancy to make sure things are on track! We now know FOR SURE the sex of the baby! Its soo exciting for us! We also got 4D ultrasound pics and can see what our baby kinda looks like at this point! Isn't that neat!? Our little munchkin is definitely a toot! Never does what you want it to...ever! But thats ok---its on "mommy" time. Sleeps during the day and is awake at night! :) We can't wait to tell our family next week at Thanksgiving!  Then I can finally start talking about EVERYTHING on my blog! I haven't felt anything strong as far as movements go but I can feel something happening! But its not enough to be like "that's it! " I don't expect to feel anything "real" for another couple of weeks or so! We had our 16 week appointment last week and everything was great at Dr. Lampkin's office! No news there. I will post some US pics soon--the ones where you can't tell if its a girl or boy! Even one from our 4D US pics...neat-o! 

On another note---we can't wait for the game tomorrow!~ WOO HOO! We are going to cheer on our Red Raiders! 

Girl or Boy?

Well...we had some fun at work last night (as usual) with our ultrasound machine! We are 90% sure we know what it is at this point without being "official." Earlier this week we had looked and we THOUGHT we knew....but we didn't! However, we have our "real" appointment with our specialist this coming Friday and we are not going to reveal our secret until then! :) Well, after Thanksgiving because we are waiting to tell our parents until that day! We are super excited to tell everyone and START preparing for the arrival! :) Nothing else is going on besides Grant and I trading colds with each other! No fun! Work is good, baby is good, Grant is good, and Life is good! Check this out on Thanksgiving for our fun reveal! :)

TECH ROCKS!

The Texas v. Texas Tech game was AWESOME on Saturday! Can you believe Tech is #2 now?!?! Don't you wish you could live in the town of awesomeness! (Is that a word?) Haha!


GO RED RAIDERS!
