SUPER TUESDAY, but different

Today is Super Tuesday, but we're setting politics aside.
What we're talking about is this beautiful baby.
20 years ago today I was in the hospital delivering her.
24 hours of labor.
A forceps delivery.
A girl.
7 lbs 8oz.
10 fingers.
10 toes
A head full of dark hair.
She stole our hearts with her first breath...
And she has made us proud every day since then.
Happy Birthday beautiful girl !!!

  1. Those eyes! Her perfectly shaped mouth. My Double BB SOOOOO wanted a girl ... I didn't then, but I do now ... too late. Both of your kids are gorgeous. Isn't it hard to believe you've got one that's 20?!!! (My oldest is 20).
