Twenty years ago today, I waddled around my kitchen in my bathrobe trying to fix supper for Rob and Dana Beth. I grew more and more uncomfortable until I knew I was going into labor with our second child. As I lay on the bed, Rob started making arrangements for his parents to meet us at the hospital to take care of Dana Beth. She asked him, "What's the matter with Mommy?" "She's going to have the baby, " he responded. "She can't!" Dana Beth exclaimed! "She's got to go to the hospital first!"
And go we did to experience the birth of a beautiful little girl with a head full of wild dark hair.
Today, we remember and celebrate that birth and the beautiful young woman with long dark hair that is my Leah.
Happy birthday Lele. I love you.
