UPDATE: I’ve unprotected the post so the world can see it.
Jenna and I had the big ultrasound appointment today, and now we have the results. Thanks to all that participated in our vote, it was a lot of fun for us! We actually had the polls going on in two different places. The first was here and the second was on a local Mamas forum that Jenna regularly reads and posts on.
Anyway, the ladies on the forums really threw the vote in one direction… towards the girl result. The total between the two was 65% for girl, and 35% for boy. See figure 1, the beautiful pie chart: ooooh, ahhhh!
So who was right? Drumroll please! Wait, not just yet… let’s do the “funny” item I referred to in my previous post. We had some funny commentary come along with the votes, and I wanted to share a few of them.
“I say a boy because you are carrying like me - and that’s what I think ours is. No other reason.”
- Erin J
(Erin and Gregg found out two days ago that they are having a girl… hmmm…)
“Girl - Kevin and Colby are enough man for one house.”
- Kyle G.
“The new child in Jenna’s womb is a boy.”
- Thomas S.
“I have mathematically determined the sex of your child!! This was done through multiple tests of the theory of probability. The majority of the time the result was GIRL!!!”
- Clay S.
(Clay then proceeded to go into a long mathematical explanation. I’ll spare you.)
You guys are pretty funny. Lets reveal who got it right in the KevinAndJenna blog vote. These people voted correctly:
- Suzy J.
- Ashley S.
- Tiffany R.
- Shala S.
- Grandmom (Kevin’s mom)
- Chris H.
- Kyle G.
- Clay S.
- Granddad (Kevin’s dad)
- Rachel S.
- Doug S.
Can you tell I am dragging this out? Well for all you smarties that looked back at the quotes above and compared them to this list, I’m sure you figured out we’re having a Girl! Everything with her looks great and she was a very wiggly girl. She’s estimated to weigh about 11 ounces right now and the due date is now November 17th (as opposed to the 19th). We told Colby and Kennedy this evening, here’s the video:

And finally here are some pictures. As I said in the previous post, we were pretty disappointed that we didn’t get to do the video of the ultrasound this time. The technician did print out a lot of pictures, but most of them weren’t that interesting. Click on them to enlarge:

^ Screen measuring the hearbeat ^
^ And finally, the “proof” that we are having a girl. ^
Thanks again to everyone for playing, we had fun with this.

Well today is the day of the big reveal. Thanks to everyone who has participated in our vote so far, it is turning out to be an interesting contest. I’m going to say that the voting polls will be closed at 2pm today, so if you haven’t voted already, click here to find out how to get your vote in now are officially closed!
Just to entice you a little bit, here a few things that we are planning for those that participate in the vote (no matter if you guess correctly or not):
- Access to a secret post sometime this evening revealing the sex of the new baby
- Video of the sonogram showing the baby and the “proof” of the findings
UPDATE: They’ve stopped doing the VCR recordings of the sonograms… so sorry, no sonogram video. But there will be pictures.
- Video of us telling Colby and Kennedy that they will have a new baby brother or sister
- UPDATE: Full poll results with graphs (insert “oooooh, ahhhhh”)
- UPDATE: Something else kinda funny, but can’t reveal at this point
- Anything else cool that I can think of between now and tonight…
Remember, those who vote will get all of these things (at least) a full 24 hours before the rest of the world. And its free… What a deal!
Ok folks, that’s all!
UPDATE: Polls officially closed. The votes are being tallied and the winning answer has been discovered. All voters will receive an email tonight with details of how to view the secret post. Thanks for playing!

I have been meaning to post this for awhile, so thanks to NaBloPoMo, I have something random to post about!
Our church’s late service is broadcast on KBTX channel 3 on tape delay. This makes for some complications in my brain, in case I have to miss a Sunday. So, I like to listen to Brother Tim’s podcasts, so I at least can hear the sermon. Go to http://podcast.fbcbryan.org and a very handsome man 
has written instructions for you to follow - you don’t have to have an iPod to listen.

Well, I tried to get the old gallery fired back up again but the “little computer that could” just wouldn’t. So, I’ve setup a new installation of the latest and greatest installation of Gallery and uploaded some pics of Kennedy. As soon as I get the chance I will start moving all the other pictures over so that I can post some new ones of Colby as well. Enjoy!

Which “Saved By The Bell” Character Are You?I totally stole this link… But I thought it was fun for all those that grew up in the early 90s!!

So I’ve redone the site in Wordpress. It is a piece of software that is geared more towards blogging. Since that is about all we do on the site besides the photo gallery, it just seemed to make sense. I really plan to post more than I have in the past year (which shouldn’t be too hard since I only posted once!). I’ve pulled the important posts from the old site over to this one, but I’m still working on it some.
One of the new features of this site is comments… so please feel free to leave a comment for us if you find something interesting or just want to say Hi!

Ok so I thought it was fitting that it has actually been an entire year since my last post. Man how lazy am I? Well, here’s a quick rundown of what has been happening.
Colby is obviously a year now… almost 14 months to be exact. He’s almost walking by himself. He walks all around holding on to the couch and end tables and stuff and he can walk about a step or two from Jenna to me.
Jenna and I just took a quick little vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a wedding. Jenna’s former student teacher and long term sub while she was on maternity leave, Kristi, got married to Todd. We went there only knowing Kristi and came back knowing a bunch of new people. For those of you who are here looking for the pictures, I haven’t uploaded them yet!!! I accidentally left my laptop at my parents’ house in Dallas, so there will be a small delay for me to get them posted. Email us and let us know you stopped by!
I am in the process of redoing the site in Wordpress, so look for changes pretty soon. As soon as I do this it will be easier for me to blog more often.

The photo gallery is back up and running again. My linux machine that runs the gallery rebooted but didn’t boot back into linux. Anywho… all better now.
