Snoozing...

This is one of my favorite photos from the hospital. My honey and my baby sacked out in our room. Why wasn't I sleeping too?!?!?

We Love Visitors!

During our week at the hospital, Rachel had many visitors! Thanks to everyone for coming by to say hello to our sweet little girl! She is so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family in her life!

Baby Shower - Mason Dance Center

We had a great shower today at Mason Dance Center with several of the teachers, students, and parents. Though the weather was really windy - and left most of Cincinnati in the dark all week - the shower was great fun! Special thanks to everyone - the gifts are such a blessing to our family!

Ultrasound Pics - Sept. 9th

More ultrasound pics...I'm guessing these will be the last photos of our little one until he/she is out of the the womb! The top image is the face again...chin on left, forehead on right. The bottom image is the profile view, so the nose is on top. You can also see a hand reaching up (left-side of image) toward the mouth.

Ultrasound Pics - Aug. 25th

Here are the latest pics of our baby! The top picture is the face looking at you...the chin is on the left, forehead on the right. The bottom picture is the bottom of one foot...cute toes!
