OK, so here we are . . .

As you can tell from the pictures below, we are all checked in to the hospital. Genevieve is hooked up to all sorts of monitors and other gimcracks and I am keeping the popsicles and chipped ice at the ready. We are probably in for a long day and possibly night, so thank goodness we brought plenty of things to read, AND thanks goodness I can sneak on to someone's unencrypted wireless router and post all sorts of wonders for your enjoyment. You ccan email me if you like -- I will be checking throughout the day.
