WE KNOW THE GENDER!!!
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW DON'T READ ANY FURTHER!!!

We had our second ultrasound today and found out that......we are having a GIRL!!!
She is active, healthy, and about 12 oz or the size of a Coke can.

Unfortunately the pictures don't scan well this time. She has some big ole feet that's for sure. During the ultrasound she was fully pressing her legs straight out and mashing her upper body so that she was bent in half like Gumby. Pretty limber she is!

Apparently her favorite thing to do is jump up and down on the bladder trampoline causing Heather to get out of bed to go to the bathroom about every hour and 1/2. Fortunately she IS still getting out of bed to do so. I figure this is nature's way of getting Heather ready for middle of the night feedings. (Feeding the baby, not herself.)

All in all things seem to be going pretty well. Heather is experiencing some growing pains. The pants just aren't fitting quite the same! We should get some pictures of Heather onto the site soon. :o)>

Congratulations Jackie!!!

As I had mentioned earlier in the blog Jackie's dance team has been working very hard on their Zombie routine and it paid off! They participated in State/National competition this weekend and received Superiors for Officers Dance, Pom, Hip Hop and Open category (Zombie).

For Zombie they won the State of Ohio championship and then placed second nationally! Quite an achievement and the girls were fantastic. I imagine that the video of the performance will soon be on the net. If it is (whether I upload it or somebody else does) I'll let you know.

The Zombie dance was the only dance Friday through Sunday where the two level gym was packed at the time of the dance. The team has received quite a bit of recognition and the girls and coaches from the other teams and their families all flocked in to watch the dance...pretty amazing.

We are so very proud of Jackie. She has had a stellar high school academic record and has been involved in so many extra curricular activities. She is a good person to boot which is most important. She will turn 18 in a month and will move on to college in the Fall.
