Mommy and Aunt Theresa went to the doctor this week to check up on me. I'm 3 days ahead of schedule and developing well.  My heart has 4 chambers now, and they are all just pumping and beating, pumping and beating.  I have fingers, toes, nose, eyes (lenses in them too), and I'm starting to pack on the ounces.  We got an official delivery date range, October 15-29th, mommy is hoping for middle October (closer to the 15th), she's just so excited to meet me. 

I'm kicking much more often and while daddy hasn't felt me kick yet he probably will soon-- if he has the patience to keep a hand on mommy's tummy long enough.  During the ultrsound I had my hands up by my head as usual but this time everyone could see me talking!  Okay, so I may have been drinking some amniotic fluid but I kept opening and closing my mouth like I was trying to get in on the conversation. 

Monday I'm taking my first roadtrip.  I'm heading out with Mommy and Aunt Angela to Kansas for a couple of days.  Dr. A wants mommy to take lots of breaks and gave her the name of a really good doctor in Kansas City if something happens.  I'm really looking forward to the BBQ! 

 So--- Mommy and Daddy are pretty sure they have decided on my first name (the middle is still tripping them up a little) but you can start calling me ABIGAIL if you like.... I don't really respond to any name yet but it may be good practice.  :) I love you all and am looking forward to meeting you in just a few short months-- I should be here just before mommy's cousin Greg gets back from Iraq... October is going to be such a wonderful and memorable month!
