this day
It appears that May 23 is not this baby's birthday. Unless something majorly changes in the next couple of hours, which is highly unlikely.
But that's the thing about being a history major. Sometimes random dates get into my head, and I have no idea why they're important and why they're in my head.

I want some of those waffles!
Hooray for South Carolina!
We jump everytime we hear the phone ring, thinking it is big news. I was telling Grandma today that it reminds of when my sisters were having babies and I was still living at home. When it was getting close to the due date, we all would jump up and race to the phone every time it rang.
Hoping for some big news soon. We are praying for you.
