Ok - I want to get in on this -
First son (1972), my back hurt-I had been to the doctor the day before and he said see you next week. It was 2 weeks before due date. After 4 hours of back pain, we went into doctor's office, another doctor examined me and said "don't even go home, go right to the hospital". He was born 45 minutes after we got there. I stayed 3 days at Northside Hospital in Atlanta. (He weighed a little over 10 lbs.)
Son #2 born in 1974 - three weeks early - 8 1/2 lbs- stayed 2 days at Northside Hospital in Atlanta.
1980- trying once more for a little girl. Twin boys born 7 weeks early @Ft. Hamilton Hughes in Hamilton, Ohio. They had hyaline membrane disease and were taken to Childrens' Hospital in Cincinnati. Checked myself out of the hospital the next day and followed them. One came home at 3 weeks and the other on his due date 7 weeks after his birth. We thought God had a great sense of humor adding two more boys to the 2 sons we already had. Now I know he does, since I have 5 grandchildren - all girls.
