12 years ago today I was again doing my part for the world population.
Shea Ann made her debut at 1623 on October 17th, 1992. She decided that she wanted to try coming out one foot and butt first, causing quite a stir amongst the medical staff as she had been head down only a week before. So, I ended up with an epidural in the OR having a C-Section. It was the weirdest sensation...I could feel things going on in my belly, but it wasn't exactly painful. I felt the doctor lift her out of me...I could breathe again!
So, she's 12 today. Next year she'll officially be a teen, although she has the attitude and physicality already. She's a straight 'A' student, dilligent, a cross country runner (she's pestering her dad to go run with her), she was just named Student of The Month for the October, she's been on the Honor Roll every year since she was 8, and Shea wants to be an Army Veterinarian when she grows up.
She got 'The Sims 2' for her birthday...and has $55 burning a hole in her pocket. We're going to IHoP to eat this morning, she's been asking to go there ever since we moved here.
So, Happy Birthday Shea. May you have mnay more...
