The boys decided the baby in my tummy should be called Crusher about a month ago and I'm afraid they are going to be utterly disappointed when that isn't his actual name! I have a feeling this little angel is going to be far from a "crusher". I can just tell he has such a kind, and patient personality.
See what I mean? How precious is that profile? Oh yes...and I forgot, there is no question he is a BOY!
Randy, Hank, and Max came with me and they were overjoyed to see "peanuts". Hank was so interested in every image and asked lots of questions. He wants to hang all the pictures up in his room. He thought the shot of his femur bone was his wiener at first and was amazed! The most important thing is that the baby is healthy and growing right on schedule. Hopefully my stress level this past month isn't harming him too much.
I have been an emotional wreck today. I just break down every time I look at these precious boys of mine. They are so amazing in every way and they are counting on me to take care of them and protect them. I am overwhelmed with the love I feel for all three of them. I just hope and pray I can be the mother they need and deserve. This picture is from this weekend on our impromptu get-a-way to Salt Lake City. Randy surprised us with 2 night stay at the Little America Hotel. The kids loved riding Trax to the movie. We saw the movie Rio, which I highly recommend. After that, Max insisted on being called Nigel (the villain bird) for the rest of the trip.
The boys enjoyed the swimming pool at the Grand America Hotel while I enjoyed a luxurious pregnancy massage and pedicure. We quickly discovered traveling with a diabetic child is a whole new experience. As much as I loved to escape from reality, there is just some reality you can't run away from.
Hank has been such a good sport through all of this. He continues to roll with all the punches diabetes throws at him. It's a lot to handle right now but thankfully I'm not alone. I have the most amazing husband ever, right by my side every step of the way. As long as we have each other, we can handle any obstacle that comes in our path. We have no choice, these adorable boys are counting on us. Now I need to stop crying...sheeesh!

OH MY LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!! He is the cutest little thing ever!! I'm so in love. Aaaaand--- why not Crusher? I think it's totally perfect! I really can't wait to meet and hold and squeeze his little mug! But, for now I guess I'll just have to rub your adorable little belly.
I know today/this week/this month has been so hard, man. You can cry all you want--- I've been wondering where the tears were-- now at least I feel like you're human! You are so incredibly strong and so entirely entitled to EVERY emotion you feel.
Now... Put your shoes on and meet me at Targ. I have something for you! Love you!!
How cute is that sonogram? I was trying my hardest to see if you were going to have another Tucker baby (Hank) or a Griffin (Max), either way he will be super cute.
Maybe to appease the boys you could name him Crush, it's kinda like Cruz, and if it's good enough for the Beckham's, then it's good enough for you.
What a cute little nose and a sweet little face. WOW I'm all misty eyed! You're an awesome mom and wife and all of your boys are lucky to have you.
I agree with Sarah.. you've been so strong and are doing such a terrific job of taking care of everyone. Go ahead and sit down and have a good cry!
Now that we know FOR SURE of Crusher's gender... I can shop!!
Oh sweetie....I know how hard these past few weeks have been for you...I would gladly take it all for you if I could..you know I would...never forget that you have an amazingly supportive and loving family and extended family who will do anything for YOU...just seeing little Crusher's profile brought such a huge wave of thankfulness that this little person is coming to be a part of our family....we are so lucky...I am so lucky...you are a wonderful mother and you have more strength than you even know...you will get through this...I am always here, honey.
Love Crusher. Crusher Griffin. I like it! And look at the wiener on that kid...Randy must be so proud! Take it from me, having 3 boys is simply amazing! Love ya.
