Week 29

Checking in for Week 29.

Rachel left town for San Diego on Monday and returned on Friday evening. When she got in on Monday, she made a trip to the San Diego Zoo with some co-workers and colleagues. It was a beautiful Zoo with some exotic and lush plants. It was pretty chilly on Monday which made many of the animals stay under their heat lamps. On Tuesday, she was able to go on a tour of San Diego. It hit many of the main attractions including Coronado, Little Italy, the Maritime Museum, Old Town, the Gas Lamp District, and many more. Tuesday evening was filled with a dinner cruise and casino night provided by one of the vendors at the conference. Due to a very generous dealer, Rachel fared very well in Black Jack and ended up with many raffle tickets. Some how she ended up winning a $100 gift card to Target! This will probably go towards some diapers... The rest of the week was filled with conference activities. The weather was cool, but very nice for someone going into their 29th week of being pregnant! Overall it was a wonderful experience. Here are some pictures:

On Saturday morning, we participated in the 2nd Annual Run for Retrievers. This is a 5K that benefits the DFW Lab and Rescue and was in memory of Eddie Pascacio, our running coach and friend's husband.  The weather was surprisingly cold and windy.  We also had a great time visiting with all of our friends.

On Saturday afternoon, we made our 2nd trip to Storkvision in Frisco.  That is the same facility where we had our first sonogram.  This time, we got the 3D/4D package.  When we went in and got set up, the sonographer said that Kennedy was in a good position and being very cooperative.  That allowed us to get some great headshots.

When looking at these photos of Kennedy, we don't just see a special sneak peak at a precious unborn baby. We see chubby little cheeks, cute little clothing, giggling, first steps, first words, a first day at kindergarten, a loose tooth, a clever little kiddo, an awkward adolescent, a first date, a high school graduate, a lovely lady and a living legacy.  We are truly blessed to be stewards for the growth and development of this special little lady.  We simply can't wait to hold her and plant a juicy kiss on her chubby cheeks.

We're happy to report that the bump continues to grow!  Take a look at the Week 29 photo below.
