is turning 9 years old! After years of using no birth control and doctors saying no more children, how excited, but shocked I was to find out we were going to have a baby. I took 2 home pregnancy tests and still didn't believe the results until the doctor confirmed it!! (You can plan and try all you want, but it's all in God's hands and what a sense of humor HE has!!) We managed to keep it a secret until Christmas before we told our family the exciting news. Since our kids would be 11 years apart, we heard it all. We would have a "terrible 2" and a new teenager at the same time, one entering grade school while the other enters high school and would the baby be fine because of my age? Then, I found out "it" was a girl. Pink, frills and bows, what fun!! Here I am at one of my baby showers, looking large, with 1 month to go.
Then on this day, in 1999, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe back pain. I paced back and forth in the house for hours trying to walk off the pain and not wake anyone, but as soon as the sun came up, I told Bobby that I didn't care if they sent me back home or not, I was in some serious pain and I was GOING to the hospital. (I had always worried about them sending me back home because it wasn't time.) He didn't argue (smart man) and off we went to the hospital. Little did I know, I was experiencing back labor and all the waiting (and the pain) would soon be over. That afternoon, Tiffany Renae joined our family.
Well, 9 years have passed and I think about all the joy (and drama) Tiffany has brought to our family. What would our lives be without our little "surprise"? What a miracle you are, Tiffany!!
We are so glad God gave us YOU to love!! Happy 9th Birthday!!

I remember that Christmas very well...we were all in shock, but so excited at the same time for you. Happy Birthday Tiffany!
Let's say I ALMOST dropped my towel!!! Happy Birthday Tif!!!
Mom thought the gift she was opening that day was from me because of the handwriting. When I saw it was a bag of diapers.....I said ITS NOT FROM ME!
I thought the gift of diapers at Christmas was a joke on me getting older and possibly becoming incontinent. Then I realized it was BABY diapers, not Depends!!! What a joy Tiffany has been to our family. God is good!
