This blog is about 2 weeks past due. Tucker and I are happy to announce that baby Boswell number 2 is a BOY!!! We are over the moon thrilled to be having another boy! Not that a girl would've been disappointing; we would have been happy no matter what God blessed us with, but we know boys. This mama can down, set, hut hut, bones it, and throw like nobody's business.
I was so excited that Tucker got to go with me to the gender ultrasound. If you remember, he didn't get to come with me for Hudson's gender ultrasound. We decided to make a day out of it! I took the afternoon off from work, and Tucker took the day off. He played golf that morning, and I met him so we could do lunch at one of my favorites, Chicken Salad Chick. Yum! From there we headed to our appointment.
During lunch we made our final predictions. Tucker predicted boy and I predicted girl. Totally opposite from when we were pregnant with Hudson. We discussed names for each gender. For a boy, we decided on Davis Tucker and for a girl, Sarah Tucker. I felt pretty confident that it was a girl, because my pregnancy has been somewhat different from Hudson. I was so surprised when the sweet ultrasound tech announced it was a boy. When she made the announcement, Tucker and I immediately held hands and smiled at each other. Tucker was beaming with pride and excitement. Two BOYS!
Our hearts are full! That's really all I can say. God has blessed us again, and we are overjoyed to say the least. We can't wait to meet little Davis!

First Haircut
About a month ago, Tucker and I took Hudson to get his first haircut. Tucker and I had been discussing it for over a month, and I have to admit I was not ready. A discussion was one thing, but acting on it was another. So one Saturday morning last month, Tucker announced that he was getting his haircut, and he was taking Hudson to get one with him. It all happened so fast, I had little time to protest.
Tucker and I hadn't even agreed on where we would take him. My choice was to go to the beauty shop where I get my hair done. Of course, Tucker was having none of that. He wanted Hudson to get his hair cut at a barber shop. Being that Tucker would be the one taking him more often, I sided with Tucker on this one. Hudson had his first haircut at University Barber Shop on South College Street. The same place his daddy gets his hair cut:)
He did pretty good considering it was his first time. He wouldn't sit in the chair by himself, so he sat in Tucker's lap. He wasn't crazy about the sweet lady cutting his hair, and he certainly didn't like her touching him,so we had to distract him with Elmo on my phone. We had a few hiccups, and he didn't get enough taken off the top, but it was done. Finally. And believe it or not, I didn't cry...then.
It hit me as we were walking down to Toomer's. My baby looked so much like a little boy with his new big boy haircut. The tears hit and didn't stop till we were nearly home. This was a big milestone, and one where I felt like I didn't have much time to prepare myself emotionally. But in all honesty, if Tucker had not surprised me with it, I don't think I would have ever been ready. It truly needed to be done, and it looks so much better now.
