Sixteen Years Ago

tonight I was in the hospital waiting to give birth to youngest son. Nothing much was happening. I was only there because at my afternoon appointment the doctor determined that everything was ready to go, and since I tended to have my babies really fast once the contractions started, she wanted me to go home, grab my things and get right to the hospital.

I wasn't very obedient. I took a detour to watch my other children in the school Christmas program.

Youngest son was born at 10:30 pm after 45 minutes of labour. He showed up three weeks early and weighed 7lbs., 4 oz.--the smallest of my four babies.

He is now the tallest one in the family. Funny how that works, isn't it?

Curliest hair, too.
