At the hospital *Finally*

Left the house at 11:11pm., now I am in my room and enjoying Every conctraction. Hopfully we can add some new pictures Soon.

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.

29 Weeks!

only 11 more weeks and Carson Daniel will be here!!!!! :-)

what did you have for breakfast??

This is what I had for breakfast.......





Now I'm off to the doctor.... I have a feeling my dr will tell me I'm gaining to much weight and since my hormones are all crazy... I will cry like a lil' girl......

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy 23rd Birthday to the love of my life!! You are such an amazing husband, and I already know u will be such a great daddy!! I love you so much!!!

We went to the reds game yesterday for his birthday since we have my older brother, Justin, 30th birthday party today!! to bad the reds lost :-( but we still enjoyed it and stayed and watched the firework show afterwards!!!

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!
