16 Candles

Today, I became the mother of a 16 year old. It's a very weird feeling. I remember Brianna as a baby almost like it was yesterday, yet when I think about it, 16 years does seem like so long ago.

February 25th, 1991 started with me and Bubba heading to the hospital for a stress test. Well, I was the one being tested, not Bubba, but you get it. ANYway, I was 15 days past my due date but that really didn't bother me. I was a tad scared of labor and pain and all that and I was loving being pregnant so 15 days was no big deal to me. Long story short, there appeared to be a little stress on the baby so they kept me and induced labor. Basically, it didn't work, so they decided on a c-section.

At 9:58pm, Brianna Kaitlyn was born and life was never the same.

My doctor introducing Brianna to the family.

Absolutely nothing we did would wake her for this photo.

Is this a cute face or what?

EAT THE CAKE! (as you can see, she wanted NO PART of that cake on her 1st birthday.)

Finally, here she is now in her Sweetheart Ball photo and with her cute little cake today.

Brianna was a great baby, a great little kid and now she is a pretty great teen. Yeah she's mouthy and moody, but otherwise, we don't have any problems with her. Her teachers like her, she has lots of friends, she stays out of trouble and she is excelling in school. What more could parents ask?

Happy birthday, Brianna!! We love you!

~~I put a few more old photos up on flickr if you wanna go look.
