Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Just in case anyone is intersted... today is MY BIRTHDAY!!!

There will be some fun happening today, and I will post pictures of the days festivities once they have happened. Tweny Seven years ago, last night, my mom ate with my dad and Papa at Bill's Pizza, which she thouroughly enjoyed. That night, she was up all night with what she thought was constipation. (I love being told that I was mistaken for constipation) After all, she wasn't due for another six weeks... who would have thought it was labor. After being in so much pain, (and pushing all night trying to use the bathroom) my dad finally called the doctor who said that they needed to get to the hospital. Sure enough, when she got there she was already in transition and shortly there after at 4:45 am on October 1, 1981, I made my appearance. I was about 6 weeks early, weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs. 4 in. and 17 inches long.

Thats the story my mom tells me every year on this day.
