It's been more than a month.
Aunties and Uncles on the board are anxious to hear about Little Panda and Little Fish.
More, please.

Need to get a pic of Amanda's tummy which is really rather impressive at this time. In the meantime, pictures from our trip to Kauai back at the end of March. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/spleen93/Pregnancy/DSC_0163.jpg) And this picture, which I like to call, Amanda and Mini-Me ... Marika is eating vanilla ice cream which explains the big grin. It's spooky how alike they look in this picture. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/spleen93/Pregnancy/DSC_0185.jpg) And the Fish by herself ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/spleen93/Pregnancy/DSC_0184.jpg)

You should have heard Masaki laughing immediately after taking our picture after dessert that night. Most people mention that Marika takes after me now but we usually can't see it. But in that picture, she does look like a mini-me. It's because we both love our desserts!

Marsha, isn't it amazing how time flies? Wish George could have made it out here that time. We'd love to see you all again but cruising is definitely NOT in our near future.

Thanks for checking it. It does my heart good to see you all looking so well. The crew on Mariner will be sad to hear Marika will not be visiting for a little while longer. She's a charmer.
Cheers, Anne

Thanks for the photos!
We were in Scotland for 5 days, then Queen Mary 2 Southampton-NYC, a few days with frinds, and then back to work.
This is the first chance I've had to check in.
I love all the photos.
Less than a month to go now!

Countdown has started, folks.
Could happen any day now. Amanda's about 3 cm dilated and having some increased Braxton-Hicks contractions.

A quick countdown with a delivery today would give little panda the same birthday as our first grandchild. Megan is ten today.
The second delivery is usually much easier than the first. I'm praying for the best for Amanda and all of you.

The best thing a child can do is pick his own parents. He couldn't have done better. Welcome to the world young man.! Life is good!!!
Hmmmm, always love those trips to Hawaii and now we have another reason to go.
