On January 11, 2007, our family was complete...Hannah Mae Coon was born. I love being the oldest sibling for many reasons, one of them being that I get to experience the excitement of each kid being born. Oh goodness, there are so many memories I have of this pregnancy.
I remember the intensity of sitting in the ultrasound room waiting to find out what we were having. The picture of mom laying on the table with the jelly glue stuff on her stomach is still vivid in my mind. "IT'S A GIRL!" Annie & I were excited as all get out, but James on the other hand, not so much. His face went to a frown and the poor boy was grumpy the next few hours until he ate some Sonic. It didn't take him long to love the idea of having another sister!
I remember each morning around her due date, I would wake up hoping my parents were at the hospital, but every morning my mom would greet me with her happy face in the kitchen...still here & still pregnant. But, the morning finally came when I woke up & mom and dad were gone! All morning, all I could think about was about my new baby. Dad called me out of school & I ran to the front office. When we walked into the hospital, I remember hearing that sweet baby cry. Once she was all bundled, I held that chubby baby in my arms. This was my sister. All I could do was kiss her sweet cheeks & smell her soft baby skin...heaven. It's actually pretty funny watching home videos from back then because all I ever did was smother poor Hannah
with kisses and hugs. I just loved that baby.
...and now I just love this big 5 year old!
Hannah banana is full of personality. She's my sister & I love her.
