who's baby is bigger?

i absolutely adore my nieces and nephews. that said, i had a particularly eventful weekend with my seven year old niece kenedy. she is obsessed with my belly and the fact that there is a baby in there. so obsessed, in fact, that she often comes over to me sticks out her belly and says, "look! i gotta' baby in my belly!" and then laughs hysterically.

she just recently got to the point where she remembers that kevin and i are naming our baby nora. she always recognizes that nora rhymes with dora and can't help but calling her "nora the explorer." at easter dinner she told my mom, "i know what the baby's name is." and my mom said, "oh really? what is it?" and kenedy said, "nora!" and my mom said, "what's her middle name?" stumped her. she looked up, obviously hard in thought, and replied, "dora the explorer! her name is nora dora the explorer!" she's so crazy. :)

when i was about, ummmm, 12 weeks pregnant she said, "ummm, can i have your baby if you don't like it?" i said, "well, i suppose you can if i don't like it." obviously joking... but she took it as fact and often tells complete strangers, "she's got a baby in her belly and if she doesn't like it she's going to give it to me." yep. gotta love seven year olds.

anyway, kev captured the cutest picture of my pregnancy this weekend and it's just toooo good not to share. so, without further ado:

here we are, in all our glory. me and kenedy comparing our "baby" bellies. is she not the cutest little thing you've ever seen? :)

i can't wait to have one of my very own. :)
