I arrived July 16th, 2005 at 11:06pm. I weighed 6 lbs 9.8oz and I was 18 1/2 inches long. Right now I have blue eyes and dark brown/auburn hair.

My mommy had been having contractions all afternoon and they kept getting stronger. About 8 pm she went to lay down but they didn't go away they just got stronger. About 8:45 or so my daddy came in to check on mommy and said he thought it was time to go to the hospital, but mommy wasn't sure. Then she sat up and started shaking and agreed it was time to go. So daddy called the grandparents to come over and watch my brother and sisters. They got to the hospital about 9:30 pm, mommy was at 5 cm and bulging waters. The dr came in about 11pm and broke mommy's water and about 6 total pushes later I was here.

As you can see in the picture I have extra toes on my right foot. Mommy is applying at Shriners to have it taken care of for me.
