Mckenzie and Babybaby

Nothing extremely new and exciting has happened lately, but as how everyone seems to ask how babybaby and Mckenzie are doing I figured I'd put it up on the blog. Mckenzie is 16 months old is having lot's of fun. It's not as hot as it has been, so she can play on the playground more. She used to just watch the playground from inside, but now she gets to go and play on it! She carries her pink purse everywhere and it's always on her shoulder. She's learning all about dress up. Last night she dressed up as her daddy. She wore headphones and one of his t-shirts. I wish I would have taken a picture. Although the water is cool we still go swimming. We can't stay in too long or Mckenzie starts getting purple lips.
I had my check-up today and things are going pretty well. I'm 33 weeks along and babybaby ismeasuring right on schedule and has entered the birth canal. My blood pressure is a little elevated, I get headaches every day, I'm starting to swell some and have started having protien in my urine. So, they did some blood work today and we'll see. The doctor is trying to stay ahead of the toxemia. By this time with Mckenzie, it had been developing for over a month. Fortunantly, I'm not on bedrest, but the doctor said I have to lie down when Mckenzie takes naps. Darn, I have to rest and take it easy. Tough i know (sure hope you sense the sarcasim).
We have babybaby's name picked out, but I'm not sure if Dan wants me to tell everyone yet. So, if i have told you what we're planning on naming her, consider yourself lucky.
My brother and sister are coming to town tonight and will spend their fall break with us. I'm so excited! Dan and Spencer are going the Diamondbacks/Rockies NLCS game tomorrow night and then we'll go up to the Grand Canyon for the weekend!
Sorry I don't have any pictures to share right now. I'm sure I'll have some from the Grand Canyon and stuff.

This is Daniel. I just want to add that I'm fine with telling what we plan on naming the baby. My only issue is that we are 95% confident, not 100%. So, if you like the name and it changes, please don't be too upset. BTW, we are planning on naming her Abigail Nora. The other main possibility (maybe 3%) is Katherine (or Christina) Michelle. What does everyone else think? Please comment!

We LOVE Abigail Nora!!!!!!

Those are really awesome names. We think both of your kid's names are beautiful. Can you pick the name for our next kid? Did we tell you Laura's expecting? She's due next April. We are very excited. We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, but it's got a healthy heartbeat.... We are glad about that.

Best of luck with the Toxemia....
that can't be any fun.

Love, love, love the name Abby (will you call her that?)!! We'd probably use it for our next girl if we didn't already have a name picked out. Hope you get to feeling better. Love you!
