New Me

I was born on a Sunday morning at 7:56 a.m. My Mom was twenty years old. My Dad had just turned 24. His birthday party was the night before. I guess I was a little late to help celebrate. I was welcomed by my sister, Debby, was three years old. My brother, Rick, was 14 months old. The doctor put my Mom out (unconsious) and my Dad was not allowed in. the room. My right lung didn't open very well, so I was put into an icubator. My Dad claims that he was not allowed to see me and didn't even know if I was a boy or girl for three days. My Mom disagrees with that story. One thing that they both agree on is that while my Mom and I were in the hospital. My Dad moved the family into my Oma's home. My Mom said that it was strange to go home to a new house.
