Update

Wow! So much has happened since the last time we posted anything.  About 2 weeks ago, we were in the ER at about 2am.  After many tests and talking to doctors, we found out that I have fibroids in my abdomen that have been degenerating, which causes extreme pain and pre-term contractions.  Good news is everything is okay with baby Rucker, bad news is that I am in lots of pain and have had to rest for the past 2 weeks. No teaching, no working out, no yoga, no dinner dates, no TX/OU game......nothing!!   Plus, this happened the same weekend that I was supposed to travel to Houston to visit my sweet friend, Jenny.  So sad I wasn't able to make it!!! Anyone that knows me well knows that it is extremely hard for me to stay still and rest.  But, I will do whatever it takes for our little guy.

We are so lucky and blessed though that everything is okay with baby Rucker.  We had two Level 2 sonograms during this time and we loved seeing him! Doctors say he is doing great and growing away.  They are all amazed at how active he is! He continues to have a strong heartbeat and is a busy little guy.  We love that! Here he is during one of the sonogram pictures.  We are amazed at how much he is already grown since the last time we saw him.


Thanks so much for everyone's love and support throughout this time.  We truly appreciate everything!!!

We are having a.......

sweet baby BOY!!! Today was definitely a day that we will not forget.  I was very nervous going into this appointment.  I just hoped that everything was okay and that he was growing just the way he should be.  Well, we found out wonderful news that baby Rucker is growing and has a fast and healthy heartbeat of 156. He is an active little thing already....just like his mom!!! He weighs 9 ounces (average is 8 ounces for 18 weeks) and the nurse said that he has long legs!! I love it because I can already tell he is going to be an awesome college quarterback!!  Justin tells me that it is good for golfers to be tall too!!!  

Meet our new precious baby boy......
Charlie Austin Rucker!!!




Here is a video of us when we found out it was a BOY:


Here we are beaming after we found out the wonderful news!!!




Thank you to everyone's support and LOVE during this exciting time!!! 
Love, Brandi, Justin, Charlie, and Ripley :)
(so excited to say this for the first time...our new family!!)
