It's hard to believe that my baby girl is 24 today. It seems like yesterday I was on my way to the hospital to have her. It was a Monday morning and I drove myself in and dropped off my oldest daughter at a friends house and meet Brad at the hospital. He didn't think that they would induce me and was going to go back to work. I tried to tell him how upset my Dr was that they didn't keep me when he had sent me over the Thursday before. My feet where so swollen that he had sent me to the hospital and told them to admit me. Well they didn't and sent me home so I was back on Monday. They found out that I was in the early stages of labor so we waited for the OB to get in. Sure enough he came in around 10 and decided to as he put it "lets get this done." So they started the drip and he said that he was going to go and have lunch because they had pecan pie. I looked at him and said that he had better hurry or he wouldn't get to eat it. That was around lunch time. When they called him back I asked if he got the to eat the pie. He said no, I said good. Not quite sure what he was doing but Amanda came into this world at 3:03 PM. Brad was so supportive and loving. He was so happy to have 2 girls. You where such a good baby, so quite hardly cried the first few weeks. A good sleeper for the first 6 - 8 mos. That is when you decided that you had enough of the crib. Quite adventurous and easily entertained yourself. You where a very good child and a very loving child. I'm so proud of her, of all of my family.
