Flutter/Dart: Customize Bottom Navigation Bar height

Is there a way to customize BottomNavigationBar's height?

I currently have a BottomNavigationBar with tabs to taps/swipe navigate, however the default height (even after reducing the text and icon) is too high.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
  appBar: AppBar(
    backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
    title: Text( 'RefLog', style: Styles.headerLarge ),
    actions: <Widget>[
      new IconButton(
        icon: Icon(Icons.list),
        onPressed: () {},
      )
    ],
  ),
  body: DefaultTabController(
    length: 3,
    child: Scaffold(
      body: TabBarView(
        children: _children,
      ),
      bottomNavigationBar: TabBar(
        tabs: [
          Tab( text: 'One', icon: Icon(Icons.import_contacts, size: 20.0) ),
          Tab( text: 'Two', icon: Icon(Icons.restaurant, size: 20.0) ),
          Tab( text: 'Three', icon: Icon(Icons.record_voice_over, size: 20.0) ),
        ],
        labelStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 12.0),
        labelColor: Colors.white,
        unselectedLabelColor: Colors.white30,
        indicatorSize: TabBarIndicatorSize.label,
        indicatorColor: Colors.white,
      ),
      backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
    ),
  ),
 );
}

You can wrapper bottomNavigationBar by SizedBox,

bottomNavigationBar: SizedBox(height: 58, child: //some widget )
