101 days left

Hi Little One,
I read last night that you are still between one and two pounds, and that this month is the month you'll be most active. After this, you'll get cramped in there - close quarters. But the most amazing thing is that according to our "Due Date Ticker" (on another website), you're going to be here in approximately 101 days. I could probably come up with structured goals related to you to fill every one of those days, but alas, I must structure my days around law and policy and other esoteric thoughts that seem so unrelated to what I'm mostly interested in these days. I met with my ADD coach today and she encouraged me to focus as much of my energy as possible on getting my course work finished because she warned (rightly) that as you get closer, it will be harder and harder, and eventually, nearly impossible to think of anything but you. I know she's right, so I'll return to the article I'm reading - "Parents as Fiduciaries" - but as I read, you will grow and soon we get to meet you!!!

Love,
Mom

Hey Little Man,
Just wanted to update you. The Sox beat the Indians 9-2 and are headed to the World Series to play the Colorado Rockies. It was an exciting game in which the Sox completed a three game winning streak. They came back from a 3-1 deficit to win the series 4-3. This was a special series for me because the year your mother and I met was the year the Sox came back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Yankees 4 games to 3. Therefore, your mother and I have decided that the Sox are our American League team. We hope to take you to a Boston Red Sox game someday. You can look forward to a Cubs game next summer with your mom and dad, your grandparents on my side (they say they're going to go by Lolly and Big G), and your cousins, Linda and Mike.

That's all for now. You are always in my heart.

Love, Dad
