31 days to go...

Happy Good Friday to everyone! I'm sure a lot of you are off today so you won't get this update till Monday, but either way...I hope everyone has a GREAT Easter weekend. The weather in Dallas is beautiful for all of you who aren't here.

Now, on to the baby update. We went to the doctor today. Had a sonogram this morning to measure the little one (who, by the way, is still VERY much a girl). We hadn't changed weight or measurements in the previous appointments so they just wanted to make sure everything was okay. Well, she is approx. 5 lbs 11 oz. right now. Also, the doc said she should be about 18"-19" long and max out at delivery around 20"...so she's the perfect size (thank goodness a little on the small side!!). They are guessing she'll weight around 7lbs when she's born, so I'm happy!! We aren't dialated or progressed at all, but she's in the correct position, so when she and God decide it's time then we'll go. Joe and I are VERY anxious to see her, but we aren't on our own schedules so we are just going to wait and see when she wants to come out.

As always we'll keep you posted as our appointments are every Friday for the next 4...that's how many Friday's till our due date!!

Other than that everything is wonderful. Trying to make sure we have everything we need and are as prepared as we can be. Childbirth classes are over, but Joe has "Daddy Boot Camp" this Wednesday...surely he's excited!!

I was going to attach "belly pics", but if anyone has ever seen someone 8 months (almost in her 9th month) pregnant then you know it isn't pretty...if you want a pic you are just going to have to ask for it individually!!

However, I'll show you the progress on the nursery...and her ever growing closet. I can't wait to start posting pictures of Ella...VERY soon!!

Off to play in the beautiful weather outside (Joe is doing yardwork!)

Love you all and God bless you this weekend as we reflect on the death and resurection of Christ,
Joe, Andrea, and Elizabeth Hope
