**Mazel Tov again!**  
That is wonderful news… Believe it or not, I had been wondering what happened to you, **E**. Thanks for the update.

And (ahem) I would be remiss if I didn’t remind everyone to scroll back up to where **sdimbert** posted:

sdimbert- I OF COURSE remembered! I had tried it earlier in the week, but to no avail (maybe because it was only ho-hum sex???). I think it might also have been me FINALLY finishing Snow Falling on Cedars. I mean, I closed the book, reached over to turn off the light, and BAM! my first of MANY contractions.  
Maybe it was that I ate the Chinese cold…hmmmm…  
Anyway- all I know is that I am SOOO happy it is all over, and I have been blessed with a perfect little baby girl who can already roll herself over from her stomach to her back (the bragging has begun!).
