GOLDEN MOMEMENT, FROZEN IN TIME

Today is a special day for me, because it is my daughter's Birthday & it takes me back to the day of her birth. She was actually due on December 29th, but decided to linger in her cozy spot beneath my heart until January 24th.

The reason she was late however was the fact that she was in a breach position, & being that I am a petite person in height, she did not have much room to turn around in I guess. When I finaly went into labor, a Caesarian was an urgent necessity, & I heard a doctor who was asked to examine me, exclaim. She needs a Caesarian, she needs it right now & 15 minutes later this wonderful unknown doctor did just that.

The special moment that was frozen in time, came when my beautiful a perfect little browned eyed darling, was placed on top of me where each of us could look deep into each other's eyes.
It was love at first sight. This precious little girl, I had longed & prayed for, had finally
arrived. She was all I could have hoped for. I had prayed for a healthy baby, but in my heart, I really hoped it would be a little girl. She was 22 inhes long & 8#3 oz so it was understandable that she took up a lot of room.

I had picked a name that I had seen in a Christian movie at College, years before, & little did I know that a more modern movie with Debbie Reynolds, would make the name so popular, that a lot of other babies would be named Tammy.

I have relived the joy of that moment, as my daughter gave birth to two little replicas of herself, but nothing compares to the magical momement of that first look into your child's eyes. Though I couldn't be with her today, I'm with her in spirit, as she, as her youngest called her is the the Birthday girl today.
