A LOT to post!!!

First of all, I will start with our milestone of 27 weeks! I had an appt with Dr Schwartz yesterday. My cervix is 3.8-4.1cm which is wonderful. Baby's heartrate was 158 and is still measuring perfect. The ultrasound tech even took some 3D pictures of her face, which turned out wonderful!!!! I almost had tears in my eye seeing her face so clearly (although I'm NOT ready to see her in person yet!) I will scan them in as soon as I can!

Next big item is we have been trying to potty train McKenna. We have out good days and bad days- she just isn't catching on. She has had more accidents than number of times we have made it to the potty but I guess it is a blessing that she is trying. We had to move the potty out to the living room for her to sit on it. She won't sit in the bathroom. Whatever works, right?

Now, on to Kenna's birthday party on Saturday. We started with lunch- hot dogs, chips, etc. The kids had a blast playing outside even though it was very windy. The temperature was 84 so I think the wind was a blessing- they would have been pretty hot without it!

After playing outside, we had cupcakes and Kenna opened her presents. The theme was Tinkerbell so we had chocolate, white, and strawberry cupcakes with "fairy dust" on them (aka sprinkles). Tony and I bought Kenna a new bike which she was pretty excited about, although we have yet to ride it outside!

Sunday we went to the zoo. Mom and dad got us season passes for Christmas so we thought we might as well start using them! We rented a wheelchair for me so I didn't have to walk all the way around. Kenna had a blast. She loved seeing the animals and riding the rides!! The weather was perfect. There was quite a few people there but it wasn't unbearable.

We brought Kenna's swimsuit so she could play in the fountains (we learned that lesson last summer going to the zoo with Ang and the girls last summer).

Yesterday after my good appt with Dr Schwartz, Kenna and I took a 2 hour drive to Grand Rapids to see Tony. He is working up here this week so we decided to pay him a visit. Kenna did fabulous on the way up (although only took a 30 min nap). The hotel has a great pool/splashpark/ waterslide area instead of just a pool and hot tub (although they have both of those too!). Daddy and Kenna had a blast while I sat on the outside and took pictures. I imagine we will head down there again today!
