Update:)

Here is an update! My most recent thing is i got a new sewing machine! My mom got me an awesome table and i have been playing around with it during Tuckers naptime:) I have made 2 blankets and cant wait to get on my next project. Im still learning so the blankets are nothing fancy yet! my mom taught me how to do a french seam while she was here so that is pretty mcuh all i know how to do, haha. Here are the 2 blankets i have made so far..

This is the monkey blanket. It says "LITTLE MONKEY"  under the monkeys

Here is the animal blanket. I loved the way the animals looked! Its super cute fabric!

And here are some pictures of my growing boy!! He is smiling and laughing like crazy these days, and eating like its his J-O-B! Its ridiculous how much he eats! He is growing like a weed, in 3-6 mos clothes, and loves to sit up! He loves his bumbo chair and sitting on anyones lap that will let him sit up so he can look around the room.

My boys, they are so cute.. They snuggle as soon as Daddy gets home from work! We are so lucky Jake has a job were he gets home at 2:15 almost every day!

Family Visits!

Since we had Tucker blessed, we were lucky enough to have some of our family in town! My mom and dad came, as well as Jakes dad, and his sister Megan. Then my cousin Rushell and her family came too! We had such a great time with everyone and are so glad they could make it! We went to "Cow Town", one of the MANY attractions here in Wichita, lol. And we also had a cookout after Tuckers blessing! Many of our friends came and got to celebrate with us, it was such a great time:) Here are some pictures from the time our families were here!

Mom and Dad came and OF COURSE we had to go to Freddys:)

Our little family:)

Big Boy!

So I just wanted to add a few pictures of our little Tuckerman:) In a week that has been SO extremely aweful, my husband and this little man have kept me going. I love them so much and do not know what I would do without either of them.

He is so curious! He spends the majority of the day just looking around at everything!Look at these big blue eyes! How can you resist him?! i think his eyes are going to be green like ours, but who knows!

This picture of Dolly just made me laugh, i tried to put it on th bottom but it jumped up here...

 BACK TO TUCKER! haha Here we are having a laugh attack, which he has every morning from about 9-11, haha

Tucker LOVES the water. When we get the camera out he stops kicking and having fun, but he totally loves it.

He is getting so long!!! He is in his cradle that Grandpa Saxton made him, its crazy to see the first picture of him in here and how much bigger he has gotten!

6 WEEKS!

So Tucker is now 6 weeks old! He is growing so fast and is the sweetest little baby! He rarly cries, only when he needs something, and he is sleeping through the night like a champ:) Normally least 8 hours then wakes up to eat, and then for another 2 or 3 hours! He only sleeps about 2-3 hours during the day, and is quite chatty:) He loves tummy time, and laying on the ground so he can look around... He uses his legs to spin himself around if he is trying to look at something that he cant quite see.. Its pretty cute;) Here are some pictures from this past week and a video. The video was taken when Jake got home from work and Tucker was SO super happy, the viseo doesnt show the happy... just the chatty! haha. Jake loves his little man and is such an amazing Dad. He is always trying to feed him, or asking me if I need anything. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband! Tucker is such an alert little boy and so curious about what is going on around him. He just stares at everything and is so interested in it all! We love him so much and are so grateful to have him in our lives:)

Dolly LOVES Tucker. She always tries to come snuggle when Tucker is snuggling me:)

Leeroy is very interested in Tucker.. haha, he likes him ok... But I think he is more interested:)

Heres our little man! I tried to get him while he was all stretched out, but he was kicking around... He is going to be very tall! (or so we think.. Jake is hoping for 6'5 so he can be a basketball star.. Im sure Aunt Katie would have Duke recruit him for sure!! :)

He looks just like Jake... with my big eyes, lol

I came home from going out with friends and he was on the bed taking a nap. haha, Jake felt the need to give him a pillow to make him more comfy.. But he sure does LOVE GGs blanket she made him!! It is so cute, and we have received many compliments on it! Thanks Mom!!

Well, there is our update!!! Hope all yall are doin great! Til next time... :)

Tuckerman swimming!

So this is a video of Tucker in the pool! We are lucky enough to have great friends Jen & Jason (who are also our neighbors) who invited us to their families pool. The water was the perfect tempurature and Tucker LoVeD it! Welllll... He didnt love it, cuz he isnt old enough to love it... YET! but he didnt mind it!

Introducing...

Jacob Tucker Saxton


May 30, 2010

7 lbs 9 oz 20 inches

Born at 11:05 am

So this is how the day started! It was May 29th and Katie came in from Richmond to be here to help me out once Tucker came:) We went to the mall to walk around a bit and went to Freddy's.. Only the best custard place EVER! It is my new favorite place to go so we HAD to take Katie there. About 9 oclock that evening I started having contractions... We went on a walk to see if that would help.. and they just kept coming, closer... and CLOSER! haha, Jake was so sweet, he rubbed my back while Katie made sure I was drinking lots of water. After an hour they were 3-5 minutes apart so we called the Dr. She told us to go ahead and head to the hospital! So we went.. We got there about 11:45 and they got me hooked up to a monitor and the nurse saw my contractions and predicted we would be having a baby the next day:) My Dr. had them monitor me for about 2 hours and check my progress to make sure i was progressing enough to stay there. I went from a 1cm at about 1230 to a 4 at about 3... It took a little bit to get transfered over to L&D but we got into our room at about 4. I got all hooked up again and got comfortable and they asked if i wanted my epidural. Of course i said yes:) haha So i got my epidural about 445 am, and then Jake and Katie feel asleep til about 9. I tried to sleep and maybe slept for an hour... I dunno if it was the excitement, the anticipation or the adrenalin or what but i just couldnt sleep! Anyhow, They checked me again at 945 and i was at 9 cm. I was at a 10 by 1015, and i at 1045 the Dr. finally got there and was getting all suited up and ready! Tucker man was ready to come because we started pushing and it was literally 3 pushes and then he came out on the 4th at 11:05 am on his due date no less! Which the Dr says only happens 5% of the time... He must like to have all the attention like his Mom, lol. Anyways, So thats it!We went over to recovery after 2 hours and headed home the next afternoon!
Here are some pictures of our trip to meet our little Tucker man!

Me and Jake once we got down to L&D..

Katie napping.. poor thing woke up at 430am to come to see us and she was up for over 24 hours! Shes such a trooper!

a.k.a. "Tucker Man" :)

Daddy and Tucker:)

Jake was amazed how small he was, lol. He wanted to be able to remember exactly how small he really was.

Headed home!

We wanted to take some pictures of Tucker for announcements and to have pictures to hang in our house. ( We will put up pictures of the house eventually, lol) So here are just two of the pictures. (As well as the one at the top of this blog post.)

8 days old:)

SO.. all in all, our first week as parents has been wonderful! Tucker is an awesome baby:) He only cries when he needs something and sleeps so well! I have to wake him up at night to feed him. We love him so much and are so grateful to have him in our lives! We are also VERY grateful for Katie who has been such an amazing help to us this past week and a half while ive been recovering! Leeroy and Dolly arent gonna know what to do when she is gone! And i dont think i will either:( I love that i have a family that would dropo whatever to be there for me.. Thanks Katie!! We love you so much and have LOVED having you here with us! Jake will miss you laughing at him. haha

Anyhow! Hopefully I'll be able to keep this a little more updated now that we have more to update about! lol Take Care!

Jackie, Jake, and Tucker
