Yesterday we got back from Chicago. It was a good trip, and fun to spend time with our moms. Mine wanted to go to a fabric store--we got a lot of fabric for various projects, and a lot of frog stuff (the nursery theme we decided on). We asked our moms about being pregnant with us, and with Chris and Brenda. We learned about the weather the summers we were born. It was so hot when I was born that mom actually put me in a laundry basket with ice water in it and parked me under a shade tree. We learned how long our moms were in labor with us, and how long they carried us, and about when they told their parents. Debbie told us about finding out about Dan, and going to Planned Parenthood for the test, and the responses from the people there. When she told Mike, he said he knew she was pregnant, because he tried extra hard that time!
I had just realized in the last couple of weeks that my sister was probably considered a high risk pregnancy for mom, because of the Crohn's, and mom said they didn't think she would even carry Bren 6 months...but she carried her full term (way to go mom!). Chris was almost born on the way to the hospital, he came so fast. I hope more of these stories come out over the next few months. It is fun to find out how things went for our moms.
