BabyWatch Update:
We had our 40-week appointment this morning -- and just a little progress. She's at two centimeters ... Baby's in a good, head-down position (occiput transverse) ... and we're still waiting. We scheduled the non-stress test for a week from today, which is significant because a) we don't really want a bad non-stress test, resulting in induction, and b) Piper came the night before her non-stress test was scheduled. Stay tuned....

Wandering aimlessly again, just thought I'd stop by. Thanks for that 10x10 link, by the way. And for the link to Lunch, although I've let it starve. Hmm, haven't checked out your family links section ...
