Danielle's 15th Birthday

Here it is, the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise known as Black Friday and it's also my oldest daughter's 15th birthday. I can't believe that it's been 15 years year I gave birth, one has to ask, where did the time go? Even 15 years later, I can still remember the night I went into labor and the day she was born. It was November 27, 1993 and I was in my apartment, alone, laying on the couch and watching Dr. Quinn Medicine Women (remember that show??); anyways, I was laying there and started to feel these twinges. I wasn't quite sure if it was labor or not (but I sure hoped so since she was already 3 days late). Well, obviousely it was labor because she was born the next morning at 0833 at Mercy Medical Center. The other most vivid memory is during labor and when I started to push, my OB, Dr. Connelly comes in, takes a look down there and says "looks like it's going to be awhile", so what does he do? He goes and sits in the corner of my room and reads the newspaper? Say what???? I couldn't believe it, but when the time came, he was there! *S* Well, here we are, 15 years later and my first born is becoming a beautiful young lady! Happy birthday Danielle, love mom.
