Hello!! A quick update on Little Miss Kennedy, my diabetes screening came back just fine! I got my first belly measurement, which came back right on track! Everything seems to be cruising right along! I'm really starting to figure out Kennedy's schedule. Seems she likes to wake and play late night, and in the early morning hours. This pattern has just started making sleeping a bit more of a challenge. Now, I don't only wake to pee every hour, I also wake to little arms and legs kicking and punching me! Kennedy and her daddy have already created their own little game. If she is still daddy plays the drums on my belly and Kennedy responds with a side kick or right hook, this always makes daddy laugh!!

Well, now that we are in our 3rd and last trimester, we start visiting the doc every two weeks vs. once a month. So good news for all of you who want more updates.... they are on there way.

ITS A GIRL!!! Kennedy Elliott!! We are still holding out on the middle name. That's right, we folded like a house of cards and peeked into the envelope. It's amazing how difficult it can be to prepare for a child without knowing the sex, especially for the grandparents and uncles. However, we held out until this last weekend, and in a moment of mutual weakness tore into the envelope like it was Christmas. We couldn't be happier, and are doing our best to spoil her already.

Everything went well on the genetic screening last visit, and she was doing flip-flops during the ultrasound. We are pretty sure that she doesn't like the noise from the machine at all, and that works out since we are not getting another until 32 weeks.

Next week we have the diabetes screening, and Sabrina is amped about drinking the koolaid. I'm sure everything will be fine, but it always makes us nervous to go in for these appointments.

Here are some pics from the last ultrasound, and a belly shot at 24 weeks.
