10 Years Later and Look at Us Now...

I was talking to my mom today about how crazy it is that my 10 year high school reunion is this weekend - thanks to Angela and Sharla... big shout out to you!!! I am disappointed beyond belief that I won't be able to attend but I still enjoyed taking a moment to reflect on our class. It's so exciting to think of all we've accomplished: many have finished different degrees, many have held the same job for many years, many have bought houses, many have traveled, many have gotten married (two even married each other ;) many have had children, and the list goes on and on.

All of these things are such wonderful accomplishments but my favorite is that we have all remained in touch. All the people I looked forward to seeing everyday in high school I still know what they are doing. Some I talk to a lot more than others and some I only keep up with through face book and blogs but I still think about you and send you well wishes all the time and I think we are all the better for it. It makes me really sad to think that some people don't have any friends from high school. I just think how much our lives would lack if we weren't connected to people who knew how awkward we were and the crazy things we thought about and did during adolescence and loved us anyways.

My high school friends are some of my dearest friends in this world and I am just so grateful for that! Something for us all to think about 10 years later :)

Another ultrasound today

We did another ultrasound today to get the final pictures we needed. Last time she was very excited to show us her fanny but unwilling to face us... hahaha... boy are we in trouble! So, today was our extra ultrasound to get all the heart pictures they needed. She was very cooperative and posed for us in every direction. At one point she had the hiccups and held her little hand up to her mouth... so cute. She weighs a pound now and I can feel her and she can feel me. Apparently she is beginning to be able to hear too so Will can get her started on Panic songs... hahaha. We've decided to name her Anne Carroll after my mom and Will's mom, and we'll call her Annie. The next check-up is on October 3 and by that point I'll in the third trimester! Time has flown!
