21 Birthdays

It was the Sunday before Labor Day 2001. BJ and I had a busy day. I had dealt with Braxton hicks contractions all weekend. We decided to take a walk in the woods to try to progress things along. Had a nice BBQ at BJs moms and returned home for the evening. We were excited to watch a show that had been advertised all month. Magician David Blaine was going to do street magic and levitate. Show started late, 10 pm and we had settled in to watch. At 10:05 I got up during a commercial break to pee (regular occurrence at 9 mos pregnant). I quickly realized my water had broke and perhaps my walk in the woods did do the trick after all. Nonetheless the contractions hadn’t started so I returned to our show. Within a half hour I was in full labor, it was time to go. A loooong night of active labor and my girl was born the next morning. Labor Day. She was a beautiful, perfect, full head of hair baby. Today we celebrate her 21st anniversary of her birth.

Happy Birthday Kaylee! We love you so so much!
