The first day of the year was also 100 days until Harpo's due date. I have a mild fascination with what I think of as "interesting" numbers and that coincidence kind of tickled me.
This also means that today it is 99 days until Harpo is due. Gulp. There's a whole ton of crap Cait and I have to do, individually and together, before this kid gets here. Like the thousands of things I have been putting off ignoring at work. Yikes.
We have both known for as long as we can remember that we wanted to have kids. We decided to start down the road to parenthood about three years ago, beginning with research. In May of 2004 we began inseminating, and in July, we hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy, and we endured a miscarriage, followed by months of medical treatment, monitoring, and frustration. We began trying to conceive again in May 2005 (against our doctor's advice). We were lucky to get pregnant again in July. Despite our fears and worries, this pregnancy went smoothly and ended with a wonderful home birth and a beautiful baby girl. A new chapter begins....

Eek! Double digits!
I remember when we hit D - 99.... ah, if only we had known he would be three weeks late :)

Yeah! I can't wait. It will all get done, and you'll find whatever doesn't, won't matter anyway (was that grammatically correct?)
