Today was our regularly scheduled doctors appointmentat 29 weeks. However, it seems like the nurse is calculating a little differently than we do - thank goodness we aren't getting our hearts set on any particular date for delivery because the estimation even seems to be ever-changing!
At our appointment I asked the doctor if he could tell what position the baby is in because I can feel a lot of kicks and tickles on the upper right side of my belly. As he was pusing on me he found the baby's head in the lower left and let me feel it, too. I actually think I could feel the features of the baby's face - it was really awesome! Tommy didn't want to feel it though, he thinks it isn't very nice to smush the baby!
This week we heard that our old family friends from Minnesota, Katie and Brandon, are parents again! They've adopted Ellie and she is very pretty! Looks like big brother Henry gets to be the protector now!

Visiting my Cousin
Since we had the day off for the Fourth of July, Tommy and I decided to visit Heather, Charley and Ava for the the day...little did we know that we would be visting most of southwestern Missouri on the way!
We started our trip in Lenexa after I went to the doctor for a quick check on a rash - ended up being nothing but I didn't want to be contagious. Turns out I am just hot and sweaty, big surprise.
So we went down US 69 for awhile and then cut over to US 71 on some backroads. As we got south of Butler, MO we were detoured because the Marais des Cynges river was flooding and there was water over the road. This was no easy detour - we went nearly 100 miles out of our way which made us arrive in Pea Ridge from the complete opposite direction as normal. Our easy 3 hour drive became a 6 hour epic journey!
It was really fun visiting them, though. Ava has grown so much and she fell asleep on my belly - I think she was bonding with her cousin already!
Our drive back was pretty uneventful, US 71 was open but as we got near the river crossing we were amazed at the quantity of water overflowing the river banks. Fields for miles were flooded. We are glad we live at the top of the hill!
