Happy Birthday, Anna!! Anna's (....th) Birthday, and her Birth Story--August 8, 2015

Today, Anna turned 18.   She doesn't like to talk about the number, because she doesn't like to get old.  She has always been like that..like a Peter Pan.    I remember the day she was born, on August 8, 1997, because it was the happiest day of my life (up until that point).   It wasn't that I wasn't happy on the day Jack was born, it was just that happiness wasn't the feeling I had...it was more like unbelievable pain (I didn't get there in time, and had him 30 minutes after I arrived), disbelief, craziness....I loved him, but I wasn't really happy.   With Anna, I was so happy.   I had a very good baby, and I had a boy, and a girl.  Everything was so good.

I was due with Anna on August 7th.
