| Amanda had an ultrasound done on Tuesday. Right now the baby is 7lbs 9oz. The doctor is looking at inducing as soon as Kent General has an opening. Hopefully it will be soon, so that Brandon can be one of the first off the ship and see his son. |

The following is a tentative itinerary for meeting Brandon on Wed. June 4th. If the baby comes home before him, Brandon will exit the ship first with new dads, if the baby is not here yet he will come ashore later with the rest of the ship's complement. Either way Dawn will be in touch with me by phone. I will post departure times from Dover and arrival times for Selbyville. Anyone wanting to meet in between should email me or call (302)730-8899,home or (302)531-5097,cell.
We are welcoming the son and husband of two of our own PGR members. Let's make this an event for him, mom and Amanda to remember. Times will be approximate: Meet in Dover, Home Depot at 12:15 PM, kick stands up at 12:30 if new dad. Arrive Shelbyville 2:00 PM. Stay tuned.
