I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

SJ - Most organisms have about 99% of the same genome. It is the miniscule difference, ie how you and I share about 99.9% of the same, that make all the difference. Being able to understand these differences is key to curing a lot of diseases, including genetic ones. The wooly mammoth thing came up sort of like just a test to see if they could accomplish it with an extinct animal and they had good samples to use, which isn't usually the case since the animal by definition isn't around to provide one! I look forward to visiting Jurassic Park in 20 years!!! :)
