Why is Carson smiling so much ?......probably because mommy doesn't know that daddy has put this picture on her blog and facebook that he found on google. Daniel is going to be in big trouble ! but I can't control myself. Rachael is in bed and I am having a blast.

Joannes Baby Shower and a quick update!


Back on March 6th Joanne got to travel down and her mom had her a baby shower! I was so happy to get to see her!!! She had such a great turn out for her shower and got the cutest lil baby gifts!! And the food was yummy :-) I had such a great time hanging out with some friends that i haven't seen in forever!! It was so nice that all four of us gals that hung out together when we were "younger" were all there--- and all four of us are pregnant!! so it was diff. a picture moment!!



We Tried to get a belly picture from above, but it didn't turn out right

Joanne and Trisha (Love Jo's face :-P)

All of us prego girls
Trisha, due in April. Joanne, due in May. Me, due in August. Sandra, Due in September!

I had a doctor appt back at the beginning of the month and everything looked great! I've gained 5 pounds so far... I love being pregnant, but i have mixed emotions about gaining weight!!! lol! and the best part about my dr. appt was we scheduled my ultrasound!!!!!!! I go back April 2nd to find out if i'm having a lil boy or girl!! I'm soooo excited! I can't wait to start buying lil pink or blue stuff :-) I think we have agreed on a lil girls name.... we are just struggling with a boys name..... we can't agree on a name we both like!

I never shared my news with y'all.... my house is now dog free! It was a bitter-sweet day when they left! We found a lady back in Feb. that would take both of them, and then she called me back the next day saying "Rachael, its just not working out with bentley" She didn't go into details... but she just wanted to know if i wanted him back before she gave him to someone else, i felt really bad but i told her she could give him to someone else....he was my lil "baby" but me and daniel talked it over and agreed that we are not good dog parents... lol! and that dog, well, he was just flat out.....BAD! So i'm still finding dog hair and dog toys around the house, but it was for the good!!
Bentley! How could this cute lil thing be so bad....?




Beemer.... :-( he was a good dog, but was very attached to bentley!

my baby bump....


15 weeks!!!

I know, I know, most people that are 15 weeks pregnant you can't even tell that their pregnant! No, I'm not having twins, triplets, or octuplets.... unless that lil' booger was hiding realllllly good at my 1st ultrasound because we made that ultrasound tech promise that there was just one. I'm just a lil' bigger than normal, thats all...

I'm so amazed at how much my baby has grown and changed in the past couple weeks... it just amazes me that not long ago my baby looked like a lil' tadpole and now it looks more like a lil' baby :-) Everyone keeps telling me "Just wait till you have your baby here in your arms.... they grow up so fast!"
Well since I last posted I have been feeling 110% better!!!! I get sick maybe once a week, usually when I wake up early for work and didn't get a good nights rest! So I'm sooooo much happier, now I can enjoy being pregnant.... and enjoy my cravings for nacho cheese :-) which I eat on a daily basis!!! Other than Nacho Cheese I don't really crave anything that's not healthy! I eat Fruit and veggies all day long!!!!! and crave water to drink!! I was so worried I would struggle with not drinking pop and caffeine but so far pop sounds nasty and I only go through my Starbucks caffeine withdraws when I see someone with a cup :-)

A couple weeks ago Daniel and I met up with his family at the creation museum one Saturday, we have all been there before but it is still so neat!!!! I'm so blessed to have such great in-laws, they are the greatest!! now as far as brother in laws go...... i'm still a lil' iffy... :-)

My Baby's 1st Picture :-)



Look how cute my baby looks :-) Daniel said if u stare at it long enough you'll start to see it :-)
Daniel was a lil worried about there being more then one... haha when the lady was doing my ultrasound he said "soooo, theres not like six in there, right??" he is such a worry wart, he is already worried about what we are going to do for schooling for our baby, i tried to explain to him that our baby is the size of a bean right now and we have a long time to think about school.... but he is still trying to figure out how much christian schools around here cost.....

So my doctor says everything looks great, my baby's heart was beating away at 117 bpm... and my due date is Aug 22nd so i'm 7 weeks and 4 days!!!! She had to put me on some extra vitamins because i lost 5 pounds in one week due to me being sick 24/7 and i can't eat much! I don't crave any foods yet, however i did crave pickles the 1st couple of weeks but now if i see a pickle.....ugh just typing that word makes me want to vomit!!!!!

Like i said, I lost 5 pounds in one week BUT i feel sooo fat! I tried putting on one of my fairly new skirts and i couldn't button it!! o well, 'tis life.....

oh, and Sorry about the quality, this is a picture of the picture :-)
