My oldest turned 22 yesterday.
Although it was, in my opinion, a difficult birth, we were released to go home
the next day! She was born on the 8th. She was 7 lbs 15 oz. and 20
cm. long.
Entry from Tuesday, 9 March 1993:
Mary Theresa
and I can go home today, as soon as she gets bathed and hubby gets here.
Entry from Wednesday, 10 March
1993:
Birth
announcement was in last night’s paper.
A few days after we got home, the
Blizzard of 1993 hit with a vengeance. On Saturday, the 13th we were
supposed to go to the hospital for some testing (Mary was jaundice) but the
snow and winds were horrible so we did not go then.
Entry from Sunday, 14 March 1993:
Not even
attempting church this a.m. They are calling this the Blizzard of 93. The
entire East Coast has been affected. … Our electric went out around 4:30 p.m.
yesterday. It finally came back on around 6 a.m.
Your turn:
What do you remember from your
first child’s birth?
