SMITH IN

> sleepless-from-cholestasis mother a good fake-out with some braxton 
> hicks contractions (i.e. false alarm) on Friday night. We were all 
> prepared to sprint off to the hospital then and there, but the 
> contractions never revealed themselves at regular intervals and 
> eventually dissipated. So, when we went in this morning (Monday), they 
> ran a bunch to tests, looked up and said: "How about today, then?"
> 
> And so it was.

> Mother, child and dazed-but-elated father are all doing fine. They just 
> kicked me out of the hospital so that all and sundry may sleep.

> It is with indescribable joy and relief that I report that little 
> Charlotte, though having only spent 36 weeks to the day in the womb, 
> came out as perfect and as unspeakably adorable as can be.

> Anyway, there you have it.....
