Let the countdown begin! No, not 'til Christmas...you have retail America to help you with that. I'm talking about the countdown to January 10, 2008, which has now been set as the anticipated arrival date of Baby Kenyon. Use of pencils in tracking this momentous occasion is recommended, however. Recall that we expected Edward in January 2006, but welcomed him 12 days earlier than scheduled.

Everything depends on our continued health and so far we're looking good. I had a non-stress test today, which went very well. This measures the baby's heart rate over at least a 20 minute period, watching for it to rise and fall from the established "baseline." About 2/3 of the way through the test, I started feeling a kick at a regular interval, low in my abdomen on the left side. This is also recorded in the test. The nurse came over, listened for a moment, and said, "Oh, hiccups!"
