Just a LITTLE news...


This little bundle of joy will join our family September 11th! So I am currently 13 weeks & just going into my 2nd trimester. We've waited a long time for this to happen & we are so excited! It's been a rough start dealing with morning sickness, but everyone tells me it will pass. So hopefully, it does & soon! We were able to hear the little heart beat last week & it brought such comfort to me in knowing all is well. Anyway, we just wanted to share our wonderful news with all of you!

I totally agree with Becki...get LOTS of SLEEP!!! You'll be greatful you did! It is such a comfort to be able to finally hear that first heartbeat! What makes it seem even more real is when you finally get to feel the baby move...wow what an amazing experience!!

CONGRATS!!! That is so exciting! I can't wait to meet Baby Shaw. Hope you feel better soon! Hearing the heart beat is the best thing in the world.

Ryan and Megan said...

Rachel! You guys are going to make the coolest parents ever! Ryan and I are so happy for you! PS- it probably also brings you such comfort to know that your kid will always be sporting PERFECT hair. I think that you were sent to all of these buffalo dental student wives strait from heaven!! We are so lucky to have you. (And not just for the hair benefits) :)

HOORAY!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you and Doug! What an exciting announcement! I'm at my mom's house right now and she can't wait to talk to your mom about this tomorrow at church! I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, but hopefully that is passing and you can just start to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. Be sure to post lots of shots as your belly starts to grow, we'll be anxious to see that!

How exciting, congratulations. I think you are going to have a boy because you are so good at making accessories for girls:)

Rachel said...

Rachel--Well, I really wish I would've read this BEFORE I saw you tonight, so I could've congratulated you in person! CONGRATS!! By the way, after you left tonight, I said to Ryan, "Rachel is so pretty," which I guess is kinda random considering you were wearing sweats and glasses!! But you did look SO pretty! Maybe it's the pregnancy "glow." :)
