New Ultrasound
We went for another ultrasound today. They checked out the baby girl and she is fine. She weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. and is the 50% percentile for weight. You can't get more normal than that. Her brain and major organ measurements were also all normal. They tried to get a good picture of her face to do a 3d, but she was being very shy. The best picture we got (i.e. you can tell what it is) was of her hand. Here it is:

National Champions
Wow!! What a game! Actually, I thought they were in control for almost the whole game. People kept talking about the fact that Carolina would need to play as a team in order to win. That they would have to be "on". Nobody seemed to consider that maybe Illinois would not have their best night. Nobody thought that maybe there was even more pressure on the Illini than on Carolina. Illinois came extremely close to having a perfect season and, hey, they were supposed to win the national championship. Nobody seemed to think that maybe they would not shoot well or make stupid mistakes, but they did. And Carolina made them pay.
Carolina played an awesome game. Sean May was unstoppable and Felton played as well as he has all year. For a team that doesn't play defense, they certainly disrupted Illiois' offense. They got in passing lanes, they contested shots. Even though it was because Felton got his second foul, the zone defense they played in the first half really bothered Illinois.
I was in school in 1993 when they won the last time. It's hard to describe what Franklin Street is like after a win like that. I'm just so happy for Roy Williams. The title seemed so elusive and yet, after only two years back home and with a team that he didn't even recruit, he got it. Go Heels!!!

New House
Well, we bought a new house. Jennifer looked at six places last Thursday and narrowed it to two. I went last Friday and looked at the two and we chose one. Saturday came the negotiation. They accepted our offer around 10pm Saturday night.
It has a main level with a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, den, master bedroom, and two other bedrooms. It also has a basement. The finished part has a den, a "bedroom" which will be an office, and a laundry room. The unfinished part is about 800 sq. ft. of storage. It also has a deck off the dining room and a patio off the basement. The back yard is fenced (it even has two separate fenced places, one for each dog).
We close April 29th. We are hoping the move the same day or soon after. Cross your fingers that we sell the townhouse soon!
Our new address will be:
3301 Turfwood Dr.
Greensboro, NC 27410
