Happy Birthday Sweet 16!
I don't really remember exactly what I was doing 16 yrs. ago today, but if it was like any other fairly normal day at the Morgan's, I was probably at home, doing laundry...cleaning house, the general stuff...trying to get as much done as I could before Lee came home a little early, then we would leave and go to Jeff City, for my drs. appt...I was VERY pregnant! lol Of course, the baby wasn't due for another couple of weeks...so this was just a routine drs. visit...or so we thought.
Kirk and Landon were at school, and would be getting home just about the time that Lee was. A little before 4. My appt. was for 5, and we had about a 45 min. drive to Jeff. The boys came home...then Lee, and off to Jeff we headed. We talked about where we wanted to go eat when we got done and the drs....there were always places in Jeff that we enjoyed eating, when we would get there occasionally.
We arrived at the drs. They took me right in...no one else waiting, as it was the end of the day and I was the last appt. My dr....Dr Su, was from the Phillippines...and I loved his accent. He did the routine examination that is done on women as fat and as preg. as I was...then very calmly turned and asked..."You ready to have baby?" "Sure, am..." I said..."I'm sooo tired of being preg." He looked at me and said...we'll let's go then..."Now?"... I questioned? "Yes...now." I was dialated to 6. He said he would meet us at the hosp. at 6:00, and we'd have a baby.
Well...needless to say, we had had NO plans to be having a baby this night...I figured I had another couple of weeks....what a GREAT surprise. Lee and I walked out of the drs. office, into the waiting room, where Kirk and Landon sat...looking TOTALLY bored to death, with being stuck in this drs. office....hehehehehe When they saw me, I asked them if they were ready to have a baby...to which they replied, much the same way I did..."Yeah...sure". and like Dr. Su, I said, "well, then, Let's go".... of course, they also replied as I did! "NOW?" Yes...now!
So, we arrived at the hosp....took time to make a few calls to relatives, friends, and the such, and then got checked in. By the time I had pretty much gone into full labor, all the relatives had made it there, and were present when Moriah Lorinda was born, and 8:34pm on February 21, 1990. She weighed 7lbs. 0 oz. and was 19" long.....and she WAS, beautiful!
Wow...where did the last 16 years go. I hold Mary, and it seems like only yesterday, that the baby I was holding was a beautiful blonde hair, and brn. eyed little baby girl. And now...she is such a beautiful young lady....and we love her so much, and are so proud of her. She has been through some tough times, the past few years...way too young to have faced what she has...her home destroyed by fire...the near death of her dad...saying goodbye to the big brother that she's NEVER been too far away from and losing people who were very close to her, due to death. Boy...it has been rough on her, but she has handled it like a trooper!
So....here's to our beautiful daughter, Moriah.......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE......
WE LOVE YOU!
Always,
Mom and Dad
