*NOTE FROM Granddaughter, JESSICA, regarding OUR FIRST GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER....

"Yes, it's getting close! The due date is officially April 23, but we go to the doctor on Tuesday so that he can do an ultrasound to measure her. He said he wanted to see how big she's gotten and maybe consider inducing 2 weeks early, if it was needed. So I'm really anxious for the appointment, so we can kind of make a game plan. I kind of feel like it could be anytime now, so I'm trying to be ready for anything. "

WOO HOO !!
