No baby Today – or at least not so far
By the time we got to the hospital the contractions had all stopped; Laura was put on a monitor for nearly an hour and had a few other checks with midwife and a doctor.

Hello!
I’ve been looking for a decent blogging tool for some time. What I really wanted was an ASP or ASP.net based tool, however after a great deal of searching I was unable to find anything written in ASP or .net that met my main requirement of being xhtml compliant and using CSS for layout.
