Today is my 's birthday and my 30th year as a 12 Step teetotaller When I decided on a home birth, my mother and grandmother were horrified but my great grandmother thought it was great. She had ten of her at home. The midwife was a former slave. She had her 11th in a hospital and said that if she would never have another in a hospital again. The pregnancy was very much a Sagittarius type pregnancy. We were homeless at the time and living in a truck for awhile. Much like the Sag Nature, wandering here and there. Twenty Three years ago, I was sitting in a 12 Step Meeting and I announced that I was going to give birth to my that night. I called the midwife and told her that he would be arriving soon. She told me to try and have him after she got her off to school. The Water broke at 2am. I called the midwife and told her that it was a good indication that I was in labor. She arrived at 3am and Billy was born 15 minutes later. He looked like ET. The following day was Thanksgiving. His paternatal relatives including his Century Old Great grandmother were visiting from Tennessee. We went from his Father's Family to my Family visiting with our newborn . That day, I was due to take a cake for my 8th year of sobriety. I took it a few days instead. Today my is 22 and I am 30. What a deal.  Abracadabra  |

Having so much alcoholism in my family I am proud you have succeeded! 30 years...Wow! Give your son a hug for his birthday and have him give you one too! When you said you called the midwife and said you were going to have your baby and she told you to wait until the kids went to school, made me laugh out loud!! Ann

What a great day of celebration for you and little E.T. ! (Although if that small picture is of him, he's come a long way. What a handsome son you have!) I wish you both all happiness and peace, Trisha I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
