Sophmore Homecoming

Saturday December 3, 1988 started out as most Saturdays, Donna and Megan played together and Dad was home from work doing things around the house. I got up and was feeling good and energetic which should have been a dead giveaway. I remember early in the day making Sweet and Sour Meatballs in the crock pot so while they cooked I cleaned the house. I dusted, vacuumed, washed the kitchen and foyer floor, played with Donna and Megan, and made lunch. I remember later in the afternoon I was feeling some light cramps nothing much and I only noticed them once in awhile. I remember right before we sat down to dinner I finished up cleaning the bathroom and walked past the mirror, I looked over at myself and saw how much the baby had dropped. That’s when I knew I was in labor. We sat down to eat and after a few minutes I told Dad I thought I was in labor. Dad about flipped out he jumped up and said we had better get to the hospital, I told him we didn’t need to leave right away we could finish dinner, and put the other girls to bed before we called my mom to come over. He wasn’t too keen on that plan, when I was in labor with Megan my water broke; we left immediately for the hospital which was only 10 minutes away. Dad dropped me off and parked the car; he barely made it to the delivery room that is how quick she came. We had new insurance and the hospital we had to go to was about 45 minutes away. We stuck to the plan and left for the hospital after Donna and Megan went to bed. My labor was textbook each stage just as the books write it. Dad was there right by my side the entire time and you were born on Sunday December 4, 1988.

I have discovered each of your births depict the kind of person each of you have grown into. Your labor was calm, I was able to accomplish a lot in the house including making a nice dinner while in labor, you came on the day you were due and it was an easy birth. You have always been an easy child and now young women to please and get along with you are a home body through and through, your room is neat and organized you stay calm in the midst of excitement. You have always been a blessing to our family and we so enjoy watching you and your successes in life.
