143

143 is our number. Simple and stupid, I know, but it is ours. For those of you who don't know, it stands for I love you. It is the number of letters in each word of the phrase.

We have been using it since the moment we met. Okay, well maybe not the moment, but since we said I love you to each other 10 days after we met, I think that counts as the "moment". Now, it's used in many ways - scribbled on notes in the morning, held up to the review mirror when one is driving behind the other, texted to each other at random points in our lives, written on cards.

And today marks 143 days left of this pregnancy.

So, my love, 143. In every possible way.
