October 5 Today my life began. My parents do not know it yet; I am as small as a seed of an apple, but it is I already. And I am to be a girl. I shall have blond hair and blue eyes. Just about everything is settled though, even the fact that I shall love flowers.
October 10: Some say that I am not a real person yet, that only my mother exists. But I am a real person, just as a small crumb of bread is truly bread. My mother is, and I am.
October 23: My mouth is just beginning to open now. Just think, in a year or so I shall be laughing, and later talking. I know what my first word will be: MaMa.
October 25: My heart began to beat today all by itself. From now on it shall gently beat for the rest of my life without ever stopping to rest! And after many years it will tire. It will stop, and then I shall die.
November 2: I am growing a bit every day. My arms and legs are beginning to take shape. But I have to wait a long time yet before those little legs will raise me to my mother’s arms, before these little arms will be able to gather flowers and embrace my father.
November 12: Tiny fingers are beginning to form on my hands. Funny how small they are! I’ll be able to stroke my mother’s hair with them.
November 20: It wasn’t until today that the doctor told Mom that I am living here under her heart. Oh, how happy she must be! Are you happy, Mom?
November 25: My mom and dad are probably thinking about a name for me. But they don’t even know that I am a girl. I want to be called Kathy. I am getting so big already.
December 10: My hair is growing. It is smooth and bright and shiny. I wonder what kind of hair Mom has.
December 13: I am just about able to see. It is dark around me. When Mom brings me into the world it will be full of sunshine and flowers. But what I want more than anything is to see my mom. How do you look, Mom?
December 24: I wonder if mom hears the whispering of my heart? Some children come into the world a little sick. But my heart is strong and healthy. It beats so evenly: tup-tup, tup-tup. You’ll have a healthy little daughter, Mom!
December 28: Today my mom killed me!
“If thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law” James 2:11
oh, jacob and that camera that day was hilarious. jondavid is a great little boy, so chill. he rarely gets upset and is content with most people. definitely a sweet baby boy.
I have a picture of his daddy sleeping in his highchair just like this. I don't have a way to scan it into my computer to show you, though. He will be 1 in a week!
Just wanted to say good morning to everyone. I am having my coffee and watching The Early Show that is celebrating their 50th anniversary with a tribute to the 50's. It is really interesting.
They are doing a fashion show to show what people were wearing in the 50's. The women all wore dresses, red lipstick, and their hair was styled.
There were some of the child stars from shows in the 50's. Interesting to see how they are as adults.
The commercials were about cigarettes and how a doctor offered his patients a cigarette and told them it was good for them!
Thank you for spending part of your day with me..it was a MUCH needed time to talk and catch up...i really needed that time with you..thanks so much..love you!
