The Day That I Was Born

I was due to make my world debut on December 7, 1984. 

After my refusal to come out no progress towards labor, my mom went to the hospital on Monday, December 10th to be induced.

My mom remembers going in around 6pm, being hooked up to the machines and getting an IV with Pitocin to get the labor train-a-movin'. Turns out the dumbass nurse FORGOT to turn on the Pitocin drip! 

So for 6 hours my poor little mama laid there with an IV in her arm and nothing going in to it AND was no closer to meeting the most beautiful baby the globe would ever see. 

Finally, around midnight, a nurse with a brain realized the Pitocin was not turned on, and flipped the switch. 

12 hours later it was finally go time. After A LOT of pushing and not a lot of results and the refusal to use a vacuum or forceps, my little mama was able to get me out. 

At 3:41pm on December 12, 1984; Kristin Nicole Krosschell made her grand entrance and solidified her place in the world by peeing on the doctor. 

What a classy lady. 

28 years later and I am celebrating that blessed day by having a coffee date with my mom and daughter, spending the afternoon getting pampered and having dinner with my family.

Perfection!

Happy My Birthday to you all!
Celebrate accordingly.
