Only 19 Days...

     Esperanza's due date, and Hope's expected arrival, is only 19 days away--September 12.  But anyone who knows about babies knows that is a "definite maybe!"  At the virtual shower, family members decided to "guess" when little Hope Rose might actually put in her appearance.  Because Esperanza promised to send the first photo to the one who came closest, I'm recording those guesses here:  Aug. 30--my sister Lee Anne
                                   Sept. 1--my niece, Stephanie
                                   Sept. 5--niece, Kim
                                   Sept. 6--Grandma (me)
                                   Sept. 7--niece, Jessica
                                   Sept. 8--sister-in-law, Kathie AND Esperanza
                                   Sept. 10--sister, Mary
                                   Sept. 11--sister-in-law, Terry
                                   Sept. 13--niece, Amy
If anyone else wants to get in on this, just for fun, feel free to comment here, or send me an e-mail.
Esperanza has another doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon, so we may have an even better idea how close (or far) she is from "Labor Day!"
     We also measured Esperanza's belly with toilet tissue at the shower tonight.  Her cousin, Monica, guessed it exactly--11 squares around!
