This is our weekly Tuesday Meme and the question was "what was my most memorable gift..."
I would have to say that it was my oldest daughter Krystal who turns 20 in a couple of weeks! I was due to have her on Jan. 20th...
Thinking that I had time to go and visit my parents before Christmas, I left her dad in Vancouver...he was still working...and headed to Vancouver Island to spend Christmas with my family when SURPRISE SURPRISE, but guess who arrived after 19 hours of labor....(every one afterwards has been early....)
She was 5lbs and 13 oz..and pretty healthy. They kept her in an incubator over night, but because my mom is a nurse, they let me go home for Christmas on Dec. 24th.....
and if I was to hazard a guess...I would say that was probably one of the more memorable Christmas's for my parents as well....(my mom was able to come into the labour room with me...)

-and having done that for Krystal when she had Talon, I know what a wonderful experience that is...) If you would like to see the other Tuesday memes click here...

My kids were early too. Aurora was born on Valentines Day and Aidan was born on New Years Day.
