Hi Everyone!  Thanks for the calls and emails!  James and I were  due for 
our baby this Monday (4/20/09), but he's not here yet!  We have an  
ultrasound, full exam and monitoring tomorrow morning at 11:15am, and then will  
schedule me to be induced this weekend if "Luke" doesn't come on his own by  
then!  I've been dilated for the last 3 weeks (to 3 cm) and 80% effaced,  and 
he has been "dropped" head down into position for just as long, so when he  
comes he'll come quickly!  We will be deliverying at Woodwinds Hospital in  
Woodbury, one block south of Tropical Ballroom (west side of 494 between 
Valley  Creek Rd and Lake Dr), less than 3 miles from our house too.  Visitors 
will  be welcome.  Stay tuned!
