Baby Belly

Here is the "belly shot" picture at long last! This is Rachael and baby Brianna at 21 weeks.


Our little girl has been so active, even the doctors and nurses have been surprised to see and hear her moving around so much so early on. The doctor said that the movements are good and indicate that Brianna is a happy and healthy baby!

More pics from our Chicago Trip

Here are some more pictures from the Museum of Science and Industry at Chicago.


We drove down to visit the museum on our second day. It was quite overcast and foggy in Chicago that day.

This is an actual U-505 submarine from WWII. Rachael and I both agreed that this was the most awesome exhibit in the museum.

We also got to take a look at the Apollo 8 capsule. I don't think I would do well sitting in such a confined area for several days, these astronauts really had a lot of courage to go into outer space in these things!

They also had an exhibit titled "Earth Revealed" which shows the actual weather patterns of the earth projected onto the globe. Here is Australia and New Zealand!

All-in-all, we both had a lot of fun during our vacation to Chicago. We got to see most everything that we wanted to see and really enjoyed spending some time together. However, driving in Chicago is truly an "experience"... quite stressful actually :-)
