Much Better Appointment Today

We just got home from the doctor a little bit ago.  Things went much more smoothly today.  I like to think its because we do better in the early morning appointments.  We had a different ultrasound tech today.  We have had her once before and really like her.  She was very nice and got right to the point and got what she needed and we were done.  Ellie was sleeping at the beginning of her non stress test (where they monitor her heart) but she passed that test as well.  They did estimate her weight today and are estimating her to be around 6lbs 14ounces.  They say she could be a pound either way,  but we will certainly know for sure next Monday or Tuesday!!!!  I can't believe its almost here.  Matt and I are both very excited and nervous all at the same time.  We are just so ready to meet her. 

We did get a few good pictures of her today.  If there is anyway we can upload them to the computer I will post them later.  We don't have them on a CD so I'm not sure how good the quality will be, but we will try.  It was really amazing today to see what she looks like now.  For those of you who got to see pictures of our Maddy, it was amazing to see now just how much they look alike.  Ellie has these chubby cheeks just like Maddy did.  They are both beautiful special special girls to their daddy and mommy.

Thank you all for your prayers this weekend for this appointment. Matt and I were nervous at first (we always are) but as we got there we both just felt this peace come over us.  We know that God is just holding us in His hands and carrying us each day.  It's a wonderful feeling to have. 

Love to you all,
April
