The Closer we get...

I recently received an invitation to our 25th High School reunion. I thought surely they must have me mistaken for someone else as I couldnt possibly be old enough to have been out that long!! Where does the time go? I am simply amazed, could it be that I REALLY am that darn old? I guess I am and maybe thats why I married someone 9 years my junior so that I can constantly try and make myself believe that I too am her age..lol. No, seriously, I thank God that I have made it to this "experienced" age and hope to be able to hang in there for quite some time. After all, Ella is going to need her dad, although older, to be around to shoo all the boys away!

On Mary Ann's latest doctors appt, she underwent another ultrasound. This one was a diagnostic one to measure Ella's organs, and to try and determine a closer estimate to her due date and her size. We were told one and a half weeks ago that she measured out at 35 weeks, thats one week sooner than the anticipated due date. Since this her first baby though, the real date is anyones guess. Ella was estimated to be 5 lbs 5 ozs and Dr Bartley thinks she will gain at least 2 more lbs before she is delivered. Mary Ann has done excellent and has only gained 22 lbs the whole time. She has also been one of those persons that hasnt looked pregnant until very recently. She does have that "glow" people talk about and it just affirms that Ella is meant to be.
