 Happy Almost Birthday

At one point during Beth’s pregnancy with Zoe we thought the due date would be today, 2/29, Leap Year Day. But alas it was not; she was finally born on March 11.

We were really ohming for 2/29: we thought it would be cool for her to have an unusual birthday like that, and she would always look older than her age. She’s 7 now, but in Leap Years she’d be only 2 today. And I must confess, I was also thinking about birthday presents and how few I’d have to buy if 2/29 were her birthday. I can picture it now:

Zoe: Daddy, can I please have a present this year?

Me: No, sweetie, I’m sorry, but your birthday is February 29th and there just isn’t one this year. Maybe next year.

Sigh. When I think of the money we could have saved if Beth had only squeezed her out on time…
