I had only been married three days when in the middle of the night I woke my husband up out of a dead sleep and told him the baby needed clothes and diapers. That was on November fifteenth. I didn't actually find out that I was pregnant until December seventeenth over a month later. I found out by a trip to the emergency room with chest pains. I wanted until Christmas day to tell my husband. I figured what better Christmas present than to know that you are going to be a father.
Our daughter was born on August 25 at 2:35 pm. I was told in 1998 that I would never have children because of the cervical cancer that I had but through the grace of God he granted me my one true heart’s desire.
