22 week rap

hey lil brayden how you doing in there?

look at you with that white albino hair.

you're getting so big inside jamies belly

its like your floating around in a womb full of jelly!

your mommy and daddy talk to you everyday

tell you how much they love their little bay-bay.

in a few more days youll be on your first cruise,

just make sure mommy stays away from that booze!

I cant wait to meet you little nephew of mine,

I think about you all the time.

who will you look like mommy or dad?

are you gonna be a good boy or will you be bad?

either way we will all love you the same,

i'm prayin' you get blessed with a little bieber fame.

21 Weeks!

How big is your baby? About the size of a large banana — and speaking of bananas, if you eat one this week, there's a good chance your baby will get a taste, too. That's because he swallows a bit of amniotic fluid each day (for nutrition, hydration, and to practice digesting), so he eats whatever's on your menu — and gets to put those developing taste buds to good use. So go ahead and nosh on those nachos (or crunch those crudités): Your baby may develop a taste for them when he’s older.

I can’t believe you are 21 weeks already! It seems like the past few months have gone by so fast. Every week your kicks get stronger and stronger. Last week we even saw your kicking my belly! Daddy found this video of a pregnant woman and it looked like an alien was moving around inside her. It made me kind of nervous because I have a feeling you are going to be just like that! Daddy said he can’t wait until he can see you moving all around in there. You did give us a little scare the other night. I could not remember the last time I felt you kick. You usually kick around at night, and I did not feel a thing. I laid still for over an hour and FINALLY I felt you move. I think you gave daddy a little heart attack! You are quite the mover and shaker, so when I don’t feel you for a while it makes me very nervous. Daddy hates when I get nervous because he doesn’t want me to stress you out. Between your daddy and your Aunt Codie there is always someone telling me not to stress and to make sure I am eating healthy. Now that you can taste everything I eat, I am making sure I get my share of fruits and veggies! I want you to be a healthy and happy baby.

Hi Little Grandson

We were so excited when we found out you are a boy. Just to think that we will have a granddaughter and now a grandson. It is great to know that the Rantz name will be carried on. Your Aunt Emily and Uncle Ryan have a chance to do that as well. Please understand that even if you had been a girl that we would have loved you just as much. Since we found out that you are a boy we have picked up a couple of boy things. It will be fun shopping for you! We love you! We pray that you will come into this world healthy and have a wonderful life! Love MeMa and PopPop

Oh boy!

I have been working so hard trying to figure out your nursery! Your daddy really needs to get working because mommy has a lot of plans in there. One thing I would like to see done is a closet system.  Your daddy helped put together a beautiful closet for your cousin Savannah! Now we want him to do the same here. Another project we have lined up for your nursery is wainscoting. I think we may have daddy and Uncle Josh put that up next weekend (they don’t know about this plan yet). The problem I am having is that I had everything picked out for a little girl, and nothing decided for a little boy! But I am starting to get things figured out… hopefully I decide on the bedding before your furniture comes in at the end of the month. Then we will have to get papa to make some things for us! He may not want to at first… but in the end he always does it. A little secret about your papa is that he is easy to wrap around your little finger! Mommy has been doing it for the past 24 years and it still works!
