I woke up on December 1 in 1975 not even thinking that my baby would be born. Being my first pregnancy and still 2 weeks from baby's due date, I went to my regular weekly OB appointment AFTER I had mopped and waxed the kitchen floor that morning. When I got to my appointment and was checked by my doctor, he announced that I was in the early stages of labor (quite effaced!) and to go straight to Druid City Hospital for the big event. I didn't go "right to the hospital" but went back home and called Richard to let him know that we were to go to the hospital. I can't remember if he came and got me or if I drove and met him there. I think he came and got me. I do know that I got there at 4:00 and Amy was born at 6:15 ~~ just two hours later. Not bad for a first baby.
Amy has been a delight to her Daddy and me for these 33 years. She was a precious baby, a good child, a sweet teenager, and is a loving wife and mother of four today in addition to her professional role as an elementary principal. We made a lot of mistakes in our parenting through the years, but God blessed in spite of us and Amy turned out alright. We are very blessed to be her parents and are proud of our one-and-only daughter.
Happy Birthday to my lovely and dearly loved daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
