Kenzie's first video @ 23weeks

Kenzie at 23weeks and 3 days. I love this girl!!!! 

Special thanks to Jackie and David McGinnis who helped me convert the DVD the midwives gave me into files I could post on the blog. 


Photo 1- My little angel is about to punch me right here. Ah, motherhood! And yes that is her foot in the top left corner. She had just taken it out of her mouth.

Photo 2- Again with the foot. That little stinker! 

And here is what she and I look like from the outside. 




Kenzie @ week 19

I completely forgot to scan and post the pictures from the previous Ultrasound when we found out Kenzie was a girl. Sorry for the delay!

Photo 1- mouth open and she's got her left hand on her forehead. 


Photo 2- teeny, tiny feet


Photo 3- About to start sucking her thumb.


Photo 4- The proof that Kenzie is a Kenzie and not a Kennith! :-)

It's been awhile

Sorry for the lack of postings over the past month.  Life is finally back on a routine.  Christmas was fantastic.  Kenzie has several new outfits. :-) It was nice getting to spend some time with our families.  My cousin Jake proposed to his girlfriend of many year, Michelle, on Christmas Eve.  We are excited to have another addition the family.


As for Mommy to be and Kenzie- I have a little more energy these days. I only nap on the days I work- which is pretty normal for 2 year old teachers. :-) I don't eat all the groceries the second day I buy them. Though I've cut back on my eating, it doesn't get any easier to see my feet. :-) I am now 22 weeks pregnant and waddle. Kenzie is about 1lbs and about 10 inches long. Only 123 days until she is due.

 Miss Kenzie is pretty active. I carry her very, very low most of the time- which makes bending over a little difficult because she doesn't like being squished.  This week she started getting hiccups. Pretty weird feeling. She gets them about 3 times a day right now.  Everything I've read says that it's a good sign. Her lungs are now being used and getting stronger. Right now I'm a little under the weather. I think it's allergies, but I'm not sure. I have sinus issues and a very scratchy throat. Benadryl and Tylenol are my friends.  *Gets a little personal here- I went to get a bra fitting done on Wednesday at Motherhood. I won't tell you what they said but some of the items I walked out with had an E at the end!  I wanted to cry!!!!!!  And I'm not done getting big yet. Sad, sad day. I will try to post a picture of the material we picked out for Kenzie's crib bedding later. My MIL, Glyniss, is making all of her bedding. I'm very excited!!!!

Miss Kenzie

ok so we have a first name picked out.... Kenzie.  Now comes your part.  I haven't fell in love with a middle name yet.  Give me your suggestions.

Kenzie ________ McDaniel

We've talked about Rose, Renee, and Grace... but I need more options.  HELP!!!!


By the way- she is kicking the heck out of my belly button at the moment.
kinda weird.
the end.

BOY OR GIRL- find out on Monday!


Time to place your bets.... On Monday I go back to the midwife to get another big Sonogram!!! We should be able to find out the gender of baby McD at that appointment! (if the baby cooperates... though i've stocked my purse with starburst incentives bc the baby starts moving around when I eat one!)  I'm anxious to not call the baby "baby" anymore, and to decorate the nursery finally!

SO here is the big question I will leave you with... Are we to have a little Brady or a little Brittney?  Camo bb gun or pink bb gun?

Belly pictures from Week 14 and Week 17


Ok, Today I'm offically 17 weeks and 3 days along in the baby making process. I apologize for the lack of photos, but I'm a two year old teacher... and frankly I quite exhausted by the time I get home at 2pm. Here is a picture of the baby bump from week 14



And here is a true belly bump picture I took today 17w3d- will will have to pardon the dirty clothes on the floor.  As you can see... the bending over is getting somewhat difficult.  Also, I started feeling the baby kick this week.  Mostly on my left side down low.  It feels like a tap.  The baby's favorite place to kick is... (drum roll please).... my bladder!  I will have just come back from the bathroom and low and behold, I feel I MUST pee again or I'll wet my pants.  I go try, and of course, nothing happens.  That kid has done it again! Just wait a few years... I'll get my revenge!



I go to the midwife on December 13. We will be getting another Sonogram to find out the gender of baby McD! (only 11 more days)  I'm so excited you guys!!! I think Brady is getting annoyed by my count down.
