The Beginning...

Silas' due date was September 30. Actually, it was the 28th but at some point I started telling people "the end of September" knowing that babies never really come on their due date. My first, Ella, was 10 days early, my second, Hanna was a week late and who knows when she would have come if we hadn't gone in and forced her out! Anyhow, doesn't get more "end of the month" than the 30th... count 40 weeks back, and well, it ends up being right around New Year's... oddly enough, two of my close friends were due at the same time as us... guess we all celebrated the same way:).
