Jessica was born May 12th, 1997.
On mothers day , May 11th at 11:00 pm just as I was getting comfortable in bed, my water broke. My contractions started out being 11 minutes apart, then it was 5 minutes. Twenty-five minutes later I called my husband and said it was time.( Now Jessica wasn't suppose to arrive till June 12th),of course my husband looked at me in funny.. So off we went, to Peterborough Civic Hospital. He whisked me up to the 5th floor, and then he returned to admitting to fill out the nessary papers. While he was gone they found me a comfortable birthing suite and a really great nurse. Just so happened to be the same one who helped deliver my first, in 1995.

But unfortunately my doctor wasn't the one on, Doctor Van Lewin was and she was great. After 3 1/2 hours Jessica was born, 6 lbs even.
After they told us all the bad news, we were saddened and shocked, but LOVE at first sight is very strong. We will be doing everything humanly possible to ensure our child (Jessica) gets and sees, what life has to offer her. We will make dam sure that no-one will stop her. That will go for both our girls.
Both of our girls were born naturally, and both pregnancies were rough. My first was born 2 months early. When you look at her today you would never know that she is a preemie in 1995. She does have a speech and language delay, but nothing serious.
Now, we have two very special children, we love them both with all our hearts.

I submitted an artical in our local community paper; take a gander. It will tell you more about our Story!
