Hooray!

Obama won in Wisconsin! We couldn't be happier. Jeff, some of his coworkers and myself all attended the Waukesha Town Hall where Obama came and spoke for a couple hours. It was cool to be a part of that and see him speak in person. He is very charismatic.

I am 21 weeks this week. Can this pregnancy go any slower? I really think that once spring comes with warmer weather, it will go quicker. My belly is showing and I can definitely feel him kicking each and every day. He's quite a mover!

My friend, Stacy, started a baby pool (no fees, just for fun). If you want to enter and haven't... let me know! You can go to expectnet.com and go to the game named "Maddern_2".

Jeff and I are participating in an event next weekend called Bowlin' for Colons. Our friend, Kate, has stage 4 colon cancer and the disease has also affected people on Jeff's side of the family. Our team name is the "Bowl Movements" (BMs for short!) If you care to send a donation with us towards the cause, let me know and we can arrange that.

Kami is going through a bit of a hitting/kicking phase right now. We're trying hard to curb that. Most kids go through it, so I am trying hard to not get too down on it. But, especially since I am pregnant, it's not good to get kicked in the gut! Jeff just wants to put her down for a nap when she hits. LOL But on a good note, she shows us how increasingly smart she's getting each day. She can count to three (for the most part), she can tell you where most of her body parts are and she is using more and more words all the time. It's so much fun to see the new things each day. I do, however, miss some of the innocence she had before she could hit, not listen to you or refuse to do something. But I certainly can't complain. She is an amazingly good girl. We can only hope that her brother is of the same temperament as her.
