2/3rds cooked!

Third tri-mester starts this weekend which means we're 2/3rds cooked. Baby is doing great. It has discovered how to stretch and enjoys attempting to crawl through my stomach to get out. Its cute, but rather annoying. We are already starting to have little talks about how mom doesn't like that. Brett even helps reprimand too. Our checkup last week went smoothly. The glucose screen came back normal, so we'll see the doctor in 4 weeks for our 30 week checkup.

Baby did receive its first baby gift in the mail yesterday from "aunt" Megan and soon-to-be "uncle" Matt. Thank you both and hope to see you super super soon!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo

Baby still has not revealed its sex. And is NOT going to until birth. And honestly I'm starting to get sick of people asking. Brett puts up with it better than I do. But I'm to the point that if you ask me again, I'm not going to tell you when the baby is born. If its a shopping thing, its still possible to shop without knowing. There are plenty of things baby needs that are not color specific (check the registry if you can't find something). If its just a nosy thing, get over it. (sorry if I'm mean but I'm sick of everyone asking. Its not your decision, so respect our decision).

Brett has switched to night shift. He just finished his second week last night. Two more weeks on nights and then he goes to evenings for 4 weeks. Training is never ending. He is loving nights and is learning alot. He got his first DUI over the weekend and was super excited about it. He has wednesday and thursday nights off, and sleeps through the day. So if you need him, the best time to get ahold of him is from 6-9pm.

I'm just working and keeping myself busy. I'm headed to Texas this weekend with Katie to see Sarah and Paul and we are pumped! Friday afternoon can't come soon enough. And I'm looking forward to the baby shower weekend because my Mom, Dad and Rebecca will be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 65 days!!!!!!!!! Sarah is also coming up that weekend so it'll be a crazy weekend with all the Janway's :)

Baby shower is Saturday April 24 at 1pm. I know it conflicts with a couple of people, we did our best at planning it around what we knew was occuring. So mark your calendars! Everyone is welcome to come, just let me know so I can get you the info.

Well enjoy the rest of your week! Hope to see you all sometime when schedules allow!
Love, Brett & Rachel

24 weeks

We're already at 24 weeks! The time has flown by and pretty soon Brett and I will have a cute little one to bring home. We are both starting to get excited and are looking forward to putting the baby's room together in the next month.

Here is the little one from December...

Boy or girl....we don't know! Only 16 more weeks and we'll find out! Either way its a healthy little baby. It kicks all the time. Its an odd feeling for us to experience but its fun. Yesterday it decided to stick either its head or its butt to one side of my stomach. We both thought it felt like a little alien. All new experiences which we are enjoying each and every day.

With the growing baby inside me the baby bump is slowly showing. I was hoping to hide it a little longer but am embracing its appearance.

There's a baby in there!!!

We've picked out our baby bedding and everyone keeps asking what it looks like. Sooooo...........here it is!!!

Super stinkin cute little animals!!!

Its called Jungle Friends (from Target) and we LOVE it!!! Fun for either boy or girl and the colors are very soothing. And its the only one we could agree on. Who knew we were both so opinionated :) 

We've got 16 more weeks to go and are excited for whats to come! We'll keep you updated as things progress.

Love, Brett & Rachel
