Update

First, Pickle now has a name. Miss Kennedy Mae Shemenski. Kennedy was on our favorite list from the beginning. We love it- AND it is Aunt Darlene's last name, so she gets to carry a piece of Mommy's favorite Aunt with her always! Mae comes from Mommy's Great Aunt Aggie (Agnes Mae) who was a wild and sassy woman in her day. She moved to Pasadena, CA from Salina, KS in the 50's. She is the reason Mommy chose Pasadena when she moved to California 5 years ago.
We don't have much to pass down from our families- but names are such a special gift!
Madison has Mommy's middle name, which is also Gramm and Grandma Shemenski's middle name-Elizabeth.
Yesterday we went for a check-up with Mommy's doctor. Kennedy still has a strong heartbeat and is growing nicely. No exam until next week, so we don't know if she is making any progress toward her grand arrival. A little less than 3 weeks left until our original due date, but we (and by we I mean-MOMMY) are hoping she'll make her grand entrance closer to when she was measuring at the last perinatologist appointment-which is a week earlier. Of course, Daddy is still praying for the 'trifecta'. He wants Kennedy to come on August 16th so he and BOTH his girls can share a birthday. God would have to give Mommy a LOT of patience for that to happen.
Oh, Mommy had a dream earlier this week that Kennedy was born a BOY! If that happens, he better be ready to wear a lot of pink!
Keep praying for a safe and quick delivery!
