BABY B IS A BOY!!!!
Where do I even begin????? We feel so incredibly blessed that we are expecting our first baby. A baby boy!! I am officially outnumbered… Tucker, Prince and now sweet baby boy. Cloud 9 is where we will be if y’all need us! This blog is usually written over a glass of wine or three but I am sippin’ on Gatorade these days. Cheers to sharing the past few months with y’all!!!
As I mentioned in the last blog, Tucker took over the #LitTour for me in December since we knew we were trying for Baby B. I traded my beloved wine for peach pear La Croix and googled all things baby related. Google searches included: “Early symptoms of pregnancy”, “Fertilization video”, “Britney Spears pregnant” had to remember what her bump looked like years ago, “Chances of getting pregnant first try” and the list goes on. Let’s be real. I told Tucker every single time I had a migraine that included throwing up “I know I am pregnant. I can feel it. Wow this tiny thing is already making me sick!!!!” LOLOLOL it was just the migraines and their bitch waves of nausea. December 2016 marked our first month of trying. That’s why we were totally and completely shocked on Christmas Eve when we saw two lines on that First Response test. My heart skipped a beat but I was so guarded. “Don’t get excited over a faint line…it could be a false positive” I told myself. Christmas Day we saw another two lines. I think I peed on 17 pregnancy tests until we saw our doctor in January. I was still so guarded until that January appointment. I tricked others into thinking I was having a drink to avoid the questions. Sprite with lime was my “vodka soda” and I “cut wine because of the calories” hahahah so sneaky but probably a dead giveaway too. I wanted to shout from the rooftops that we were expecting a sweet angel but also wanted to wait until our first appointment to be sure that those 17 pregnancy tests hadn’t lied to me. eye rolling emoji here.
Fast forward to January 16 and we saw our tiny little baby and heard the strong heartbeat. THAT was love at first sight. Wow. Don’t get me wrong after I flew across the country to meet Tucker for the first time I felt that same love at first sight and speechless over his LONG eyelashes and ice blue eyes. Y’all this baby though…..we’ve never felt anything like it. I’ve felt like it was a boy for the last few weeks. I pictured a little baby in my arms with a blue hat in the hospital. I pictured baseball games. I pictured chaos and mess and all boy everything. I always thought monograms and bows and pearls until I was actually pregnant. Then I didn’t identify with any of the girl related things. So crazy how that worked out. We even had Prince “kiss us if he thought it was a boy” and on cue he kissed us. “Kiss us if you think it’s a girl” we would say and he would sit back and look at us. We are bat shit crazy dog parents who are convinced Prince knew the gender and was giving us hints. We asked him this nightly and his planted kiss always came after the boy comment. Someone hire Prince for a new dog psychic show. He has been begging me for his big break.
I have been SO lucky that I haven’t thrown up once. I can’t eat red meat or fish…the smell of it gags me. Bye bye filet and salmon, I have traded you for goldfish, pickles and a bread basket. #fitfam Actually, I did have a salad yesterday so my appetite may be on the mend. I’ve unfollowed so many food accounts on Instagram because let’s be real-bacon loaded pulled pork fries do not appeal to me anymore. Why don’t they feature pickles on a glistening pedestal? That’s what my dreams are made of. I’ve unfollowed Victoria’s Secret and Maxim because a flat stomach and no cellulite is a joke at this point in life. I will continue my obsession with Chrissy Teigen because she actually posts her stretch marks, drinks like a fish, posts drunk Snaps and I love her.
Life is SO sweet right now and I am ready to accept all of the changes my body will go through these next few months. I feel incredibly blessed that I can carry a baby and can’t wait to watch my belly grow (even if it means stretch marks and triple d boobs). Please feel free to send me any articles, tips, advice…..whatever y’all would like to share with this first time mama (and daddy). The blog may be baby related but I can guarantee it’ll still have funnies and outspoken moments. Check out Tucker’s bat flip when we did the reveal. He says it was an accident. I say it was because he felt like he hit a walk off home run. We are so thankful for all of the sweet wishes, prayers and comments we have received. Baby B is SO loved. That’s all for now in all honesty I have to pee for the 8th time today!!
From the bed of,
Mrs. B/ Mama B
