One, two, three KICK!

We are now into our 23rd week and Baby Mac is definitely proving to be a little mover. Maybe he/she is following in the McKenzie foot steps... destined to be a soccer star or maybe we have a little Irish Dancer on the way. I LOVE feeling the little kicks each day now.


Don has been able to feel a couple little movements, but we look forward to showing him a big kick in the future.

We had our monthly appointment a few days ago and everything is checking out well. It's so neat to hear the baby's heart beat at those doctor visits!

22 Weeks Down, 18 More to Go.

22 Weeks down, only 18 more to go! Now Erin wears Pink but it doesn't mean what you think.
The big news is that Erin and I have registered for classes to learn about this whole experience. To make the classes more fun, we will actually be taking the class with the Russo's who are also expecting. Of course, Phil has promised to let me copy his notes.

In other news, K-man says "If you even dream about scoring on me, you better wake up and apologize." As he snuffs out another scoring attack from the Mini Orange Crush.

As a service announcement, Tessa would like to remind everyone that there are only 13 more shopping days left before her 10th bday on 9/29. Topping her wish list in 2009 is a lake to swim in. Tied in 2nd -10th position are all tennis balls.

The First "Addition"

Welcome all of you to the first "addition" of The McKenzie Times. This blog will serve as a fun little tool for all of you to take a peak into our world at your convenience.

Should you have any fun content or would like to write for the blog, please let me know and I can add you as an author. The leash will be short and the pay will be none, but if you have fun stories to share then 2 is better than one.


Many of you will ask... "Guys, why are you having kids?... for satisfaction, to raise a family, to be a part of something bigger carrying out God's mission?" The truth is we just wanted to beat the Gibson Clan in a good old fashioned slurping contest and by golly, right now we are severely out gunned.





To share the news with the family... we made up this cute little T-shirt and Erin donned it... our first notification went to the Casey Clan and wow Larry was so excited his hair spiked right up!


Next, we told Grandma Carol McKenzie who suprisingly shrieked with glee... something like... "AAHHHHHHHHHHHH". Her beaming face is pictured below...

Then on the Father's Day picnic, we shared the exciting news with the rest of the McGibRossBerg Fam... who were super excited as well.

So you wanna see a black and white pic of the kiddo? Below Baby Mac is pictured at 20 weeks. Currently BM is 21 weeks and as far as we know behaving.
We didn't find out the sex, but were pleased to hear the Doc say everything looks good. Also, it was fun to see Baby Mac's mouth chattering away. Speculators think he/she was saying "Hello"... or "Go Labrador Luck!".

... and of course... the blog wouldn't be complete without a pic of the big and getting bigger belly!
(The blue shirt means nothing... or does it?)

Our roommate Tessa is super pumped as well, expecting a new found showing of good quality table scraps making to the floor level. If Baby Mac is anything like little Emily, then it is a virtual jackpot. What she doesn't know yet is that she will have to share some of her bags... and yes a great deal of her attention.

Til next time... Don & Erin
