Happy Birthday To My Big Girl!!

I can't believe that today Sissy is 8 years old! Seems like yesterday that I was walking upstairs from the basement (the only cool place in the house) on Labor Day and thought maybe I had peed my pants. But no, my water had broken and little miss big head was blocking the way.

She was born 11 hours later with a ping pong ball sized lump where her head was trying to push through where there was no room yet.

She was long. Especially her feet and hands. Today her toes are like fingers and her legs go on forever.

She had a good covering of black hair, but nothing like her sister would later have.

And she could wail!!! We were up every 2 hours to feed her since she couldn't keep her food down. And she didn't sleep through the night until she was 18 months old!

But she was, and is, a beauty. Those big eyes are killers.

Happy Birthday, baby girl. Mommy loves you.
