I tell you, Jen, *every* hospital in the universe must have one of 
these permanently premenstrual ultrasound techs.  I encountered one 
here as well, and seeing as this was when I'd miscarried, she was 
lucky she didn't spend the rest of the day extracting the monitor 
from her back end.

Glad to hear it!  Now you *really* have an excuse to sit down and 
relax, though I know that's not easy with Ginger...wet willy 
indeed :)  So be sure to take it easy, and keep us up to date on the 
progress of our cyberniece/nephew!
