Wrong Date

Well, I'm getting ready to have my baby. In fact, in just three days I'll be holding my new little one, after an early morning C-section delivery. Early on in the pregnancy, many people mentioned that it was a possibility that I have the baby on Leap Day, Feb. 29. Since I was a kid, I have wanted to give someone that birthday (since I didn't have it myself). I was so excited about that option, that I completely overlooked a much more realistic option: Pi Day. In fact, this upcoming Friday, March 14, was one of the days I was considering when I was choosing my surgery date. Instead I chose the 11th, not realizing I could have given my child the birthdate of 3/14 and he would also have shared his birthday with my all-time hero, Albert Einstein. Boy, did I blow that one!
