For this blog post I will be writing about something a little more personal. On Wednesday my wife Shelley will be moving to the third trimester. We are super excited to be that much closer to having a child of our own. Still, we know that time will move a little bit slower from here on out.
Here are some of the baby's milestones that we have to look forward to in the third trimester:

One of the biggest things that parents need to learn about their new baby is how to get them to sleep. I don't know how they did it, but somehow my parents discovered that my little sister needed to have the rocking chair set near the bathroom, with the shower on and the vacuum running for her to fall asleep.
