Red Pencil Diaries

I was the size of a small Silverstream camper. I hobbled slowly but surely into Norton Suburban hospital when it was so early that the sun was not yet up. I remember wearing my hot pink faux croc flip flops--the ones with the gawdy pink rhinestones on them--because no other shoes would fit my swollen feet. But at around 8 am, I gave birth to Ms. Lola Beatrice. I cannot believe it has been two years! She's such a beautiful little girl. Still my baby. Blue eyes shining up at me. She's my baby. Always.
