First, happy 26th birthday to my sister, Kirstin!
Second—Kirstin, you might be getting a pretty awesome birthday present! Erica started having (very sporadic) contractions at around 2:00 this morning. The baby could well be on her way!—we’ve got 14 hours to make Kirstin’s dream a reality.
Update: Still no baby, but Erica’s dilating—this is good, since the baby could be here any day now!
