Baby Rucker


So if you haven't heard yet.... WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!! YAY!!! We had our first look at our little kidney bean last week, he/she is due September 6th! We are crazy excited but can't really do anything to prepare until we move out, and until school is over. As far as pregnancy symptoms and stuff goes... I've never wanted to sleep so much in my life. I've only had one bad day of awful sickness, most of the time I just feel icky, and nothing sounds good to eat. I always thought people were being wimps about the whole morning sickness thing... but now I know better :)
The thing I'm most disappointed about is how Jake heard the news. I found out we were pregnant the day we got back from UT after Christmas. I took a test and it was positive! Jake was at work already, and I wanted to tell him in person so I put the test in one of my dresser drawers.
Now, when I asked Jake what he wanted for Christmas, his only serious answer was socks. I bought him socks (and other things too!), but once I knew we had a baby on the way I bought some baby socks, which I was going to give to him as an extra Christmas gift when I got home from work that night. I was so excited to see his face as he worked through why I would be giving him baby socks.

Well I got home from work and went up to our room, only to find all the drawers pulled out of the dresser, and the dresser gone! The boys had decided to move the dresser to the new house that night. RARR!! So Jake saw the test, and I didn't get to see his face when he found out he was going to be a dad. Sigh.
But anyway... we are super happy and excited and terrified. We also decided that we are the worst people at showing emotion (like during the ultrasound we both just sat there and didn't say anything, but inside we were rejoicing!) So if we ever seem passive about anything baby-ish, just know that publicly we are very shy when it comes to letting our feelings gush all over, and we really are truly so excited to start this new adventure!

We are grandparents again- shweet! Another little curtain-climber to spoil- we can't wait. Madison, your mom is having a blast as she keeps tabs on the baby's size online ("it's like a bean- but you're NOT done!"). Aah, parenthood- hang on, cause you're in for the ride of your lives! You are going to be great parents though, so don't worry about it too much ... yet :)
