A few things

Today my first born child turned 28 years old. It's so hard to believe 28 years ago I gave birth to this child who has grown into a beautiful loving caring woman. Emma Jean came into the world at 4:40pm weighing 8lbs 3oz and 21 1/2 inches long. Dark eyes, olive skin, and a head of black hair. She was so loved by us. And such a good baby too. I was 18 and Jim was 24 when she was born. 37 hours of labor and 36 stitches and this child was brought into the world, with a lil help from a pair of Forceps. Yep she was breache. Why I decided to have a natural birth instead of lots of pain medication I have no idea, lol. But anyways......Happy Birthday my child. I love you, you are mommy's right arm, my rock. And I am so very blessed to have you as my first born. Rebecca has planned her sister's birthday party. We are to go over Emma's thursday night, order pizza then have cake and icecream. Oh and there has to be candles on the cake, and party hats and balloons, lol.

Rebecca's teacher came back today, woooohooooo. The kids were so happy to see her. I let her know what had gone on last week. She was shocked, and said changes need to be made now. Sounds good to me.

Dan's home health nurse came to the house today to see him. He is going for another visit to the doctor who is going to be doing the surgery on his back wednesday, and she said in about 3 to 4 days afterwards he'll probably have the surgery. Dan finally got a nice check from workman's comp today which is wonderful. Now they can keep the bills caught up.

Well, I am going to try and get some sleep. I hope everyone had a great day and has an even better tomorrow.

Love to all........CINDY

  6. I need to go to bed too but fell asleep on the couch after we ate dinner and now I'm wide awake.  Happy BD Emma!  What a story about her entrance!  I'm glad things are going to be handled at the school so quickly and I'm also glad to hear that they can and will fix Dan's back so fast.  The workman's comp check is VERY GOOD NEWS too.

    Sleep well my sweet friend,

  11. Let me please say a very Happy Birthday to Emma.  As you say she is your firstborn and so always a bit special.   I have never had children, never married, however my dear sister had my first niece Jacqueline and as I was at college in England at that time and Sarah and John lived in Bath I was able to visit. I longed for Jacqueline to be born and she was very conveniently early on a Sunday morning so I was up form colledge..I went in to the hospital to see the new baby 3hours old,  and Mum.  Sarah took the baby out of her cot and gave her to me with a smile and siad ...well here she is...Look after her she will be as much yours as she will be mine....Was that not the most wonderful thing for a new Mother ever to say. Jacqueline is dully my God daughter and, and MY lovely GIRL...Beth came along a year later and I love her dearly as well but Jac. will always be my SPECIAL girl.  enjoy your day  Much Love Sybil xx
