the view from up here

so this is what i see when i look down these days...it's amazing how fast your feet disappear!






after all the comments i received from my last post, i realized i hadn't announced over the cyber world that, YES, we are expecting! i'm 25 weeks now (yikes, 6 months have already gone by?!!) and we've been told that it's another sweet little girl! (well, i think she's sweet!) kennedy was quite disappointed when we told her...she was very set on having a little brother (she had already named him "max" and that is still what we call my belly - baby max). when we told her, she said, "what, a girl?? but we already have a little girl [ellison], we don't need another one. i want it to be a little brother!" she is finally okay with the idea of having another little sister - i can't wait to see her reaction when she's born. kennedy has been so protective of my belly (kennedy: "ellison, no! watch out for baby max, you will squish him! do not climb on mommy's belly." -kiss on belly-) and she tells me how big my belly is getting (just what a pregnant lady wants to hear) and loves hugging and kissing it. she will be such a big help this time around!!

anyways, here are some picts at 25 weeks (i found my arm is almost too short to get a full picture of the belly, but it will do):

Ok, you told me you were "huge" and I wanted to clarify that you are so not huge! I was expecting a beach ball! :) You are a beautiful pregnant lady, as always! Tell Kennedy maybe the NEXT one will be a boy! (haha)
