Betting on December

A couple of updates for the folks who have asked:

(1) We're probably going to be a family of three for awhile longer yet. At my due-date appointment today the midwife did the first internal exam I've had during this pregnancy and determined there's nothing happening that would indicate labor is imminent. Of course things could change at any point, but exactly as with Edith at 40 weeks, there's no dilation, no lowering of the cervix. My midwife's cheerful farewell, "We'll see you at next week's appointment."

(2) On the car front, we are blessed to have extraordinary relatives on both sides of the family who have been offering to shop for cars for us in their various parts of the country, looking for cars that meet our needs. We are deeply thankful for their help.
