It's a GIRL!!!

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

On this very day at 4:34pm in 1990, my daughter came into the world weighing in at an even 7 lbs and 18 1/2 inches long. God help me!!! She is 17 yrs. old now. *sigh* Did I mention that she is a senior in high school also? Wish me luck, guys.

1. My dear Ms_Dem_Meanor!

Congrats on the safe arrival 17 years ago of your beautiful daughter!

You don't need us to wish you any luck!

The toughest years are behind you...:hug:

2. I thank you very much Ms. Peggy.

She is a beautiful girl. You are most certainly right about the toughest years being behind me. Now I have to survive this last year of high school. The good thing is that I only have to do it once. Next stop college. :hug:

3. What you should do in the future when she lives away from home:

Call her on her birthday at exactly 4:34 p.m. My mom used to do that for me - when the phone rang at 5:12 p.m. on August 27th, I knew who was calling, and I loved that!

Happy birthday to your daughter!

4. I tell her at that exact time.

The two of you are lucky in the respect. My mother calls me at 2:21am on October 7 every year.

And I thank you for the b-day wish. :hi:

Enjoy this year. Next year she'll be away at school and you'll miss her.
