We send you our deepest apologies Aedan

Ok so....Pat and I are already messing with this kid. It was my one fear that I would somehow cause this child to become disturbed and now it seems it's becoming a reality. However, I cannot alone take the credit.

We had a dr. appointment this morning hoping for some news that the eviction notice we administered yesterday would be upheld and we would soon be able to meet this little guy who has been doing summersaults for the past couple of months inside my belly. It seems that is unlikely - at least for the short term.

Somehow, and don't ask me how, we have had his due date wrong all along. During the appointment Pat made a comment about yesterday being Aedan's due date. The doctor looked through the chart and said, "We have you down as being due April 1st." Pat and looked at each other in astonishment. How could this happen? Did we make up March 26th? Is there any significance to that date that we would just choose it randomly? The doctor said we've apparently had several different dates ranging from March 15th through March 29th and now April 1st. We specifically remember March 15, March 29th and March 26. But April 1st? There was NEVER any mention of that!

It's not like April 1st is that far off from the other dates we've been given so there's no need to worry. But now, I feel horrible for trying to rush the little one into coming early or at least on the 26th when the 26th apparently was a figment of his parent's imagination! What are we setting this kid up for later in life? Poor guy. I really feel for him!


This is for Aedan: Your eviction notice is herewith withdrawn. Massive amounts of apologies for trying to kick you out are directed your way. You now have an extension on your rent for another 6 days. Enjoy it while you can buddy!

I think you guys may have a little trickster on your hands...first you're bamboozled by the mysterious disappearing due date, then he stakes a claim on April 1...look out!
