baby fevah

Man, if Baroline (nice one anne arbor!) had only waited a few months, their impending cuteness could have been the 300 millionth American! According to a NYTimes article today, "If the experts are right, some time this month, perhaps somewhere in the suburban South or West, a couple, most likely white Anglo-Saxon Protestants or Hispanic, will conceive a baby who, when born in October, will become the 300 millionth American." The baby deemed the 200 millionth American back in 1967 ended up graduating magna cum laude from Harvard...coincidence? I THINK NOT! I mean, when you have a 5 page spread in Life magazine devoted to your birth, great things HAVE to happen.

The article also reports that a new baby is born every 8 seconds in the US, and with death, immigrations, the price of tea in China, and don't forget to carry the one, that translates to the American population growing by 1 person every 14 seconds.

A new baby every 8 seconds. Whoa. That's a lot of diapers. To tie it back into running (this is really just so I can "brag" that I finally ran again), 302 babies were born while p-loop and I ran this morning.
