Flashback Friday

One year ago today I was in labor. It started just after lunch and about 12 hours later . . . just after midnight (so, technically one year ago tomorrow) Anna was born!

Here she is all fresh and new . . . with quite a bit of cord still hangin' on there.

What a symetrical girl she is:

Anna (her name is symetrical)

born at 12:21 am (also symetrical)

9 pounds 9 ouces, 21 1/2 inches long (symetrical and . . . symetrical!)

Have you guys read the book "Mom and Dad are Palindromes"? You would love it. This post reminded me of it!
