    Can't get too excited about the rate ATM, not doing anything to warrant it :D

    IIRC Little Miss Bond is due to arrive soon, are you ready Neil? (the first 20 years are the worst :D) :)

    Very true about the rate. Get above 1.70 and it'll look much better!

    Junior is due to arrive in 5 days. My better half is obviously VERY ready for her to come. This stinking hot weather aint helping!
    Got another doc's appointment tomorrow. Junior was showing no rush to come this time last week. But she looks (and, I'm told, feels) like she making her way further south! Exciting stuff!

    Holy cow. What happened to the rate today? Dropped 2.5c to 1.62.

    On to more important matters. I've been in the hospital all day! After several hours of waiting Miss Chloe Alice Bond popped in to the world at 6.57pm EST. Weighing 7lb6 and weighing 21.5 inches. Mother and daughter are doing great. Father is a blubbering emotional mess. But there's nothing new there!
