Eight Years Ago Today...

Wednesday October 29, 2008

We have a tradition in our family to always tell the birth story to you on your birthday. This tradition actually started by my mom always sharing the story of grandma not letting her sit on her new couch for fear my mother's water would break. Then I remember hearing about the Whopper that my mom wishes that she hadn't eaten, and everything else that led to my birth. Today, you'll have to excuse me a bit as I share the story of Lilah's birth on this, her eighth birthday!

I love that story! It sounds like you did a very good job managing a natural childbirth. I hope I can be half as calm as you even with medication!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Lilah! :)
