baby in hiding

At the 39 week mark, the baby is still comfortably ensconced in his home and shows no signs of leaving early. L got selected to participate in a UPenn research study as a control group subject. She gets $25 (whoo hoo), a couple of ultrasounds, and an X-ray a few weeks after the delivery.
