I just finished an oral history for a woman and she spoke very highly of one Dr. Ron Larkin.

It's strange that I hate orange rolls.<br /><br />Thanks for always making my birthdays great, Mom. Maybe next year you can come up to Eugene and we can watch Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice together (on second thought, that title seems to imply 70s swinging...not sure I want to watch that with my mom...)<br /><br />Love you lots!Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136885662860670093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-46211328449163006272010-06-01T21:01:40.479-06:002010-06-01T21:01:40.479-06:00Argh, don't tell me this.

(that's the mom's flesh, by the way.) It's like the mom's body becomes the book of those births. <br /><br />So: happy child's birthday to you, too, Mom of Alec.

Impressive. As much as I love food, I can't remember what I ate on the days my boys were born. BUT during my hospital stay with boy #3, mahi-mahi was on the menu of Good Samaritan. Seriously! You haven't tasted dolphin fish until you've sampled what a hospital can do to it! <br /><br />Birthing stories are so fun!

Each one of your children turned out to be so worth the extraordinary effort and pain and discomfort that you had to experience getting them here. May 31 will always be a wonderful day because Alec was born and Ann survived another child birth. As a mother in early 19th-century wrote in her diary after each of her children was born, "Thanks be to God for a living child born to a living mother."Bob the Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170233811505854961noreply@blogger.com
