I Was A Good Eater

Not the best way to start a story because it happens to everyone, but my birth was actually not like usual ones. From what I have been told, it was that there was a lot of screaming and cursing.The chaos was not about me, not yet, but it was what was going on immediately after I came into this world.

I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on February 22, 2002 to Matt and Rachel Eilers I was born at Mercy Medical Center. On the twenty third of February I got to go to my home at 7526 Cattail Ct. NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My room had blue curtains; I still can remember it. My brother was born on October 11, 2006. At the age of 5 years old I had brain surgery due to my Chiari malformation. I went to kindergarten on August 20, 2008 at Holloway House. My preschool and kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Varn.

I was born on November 22, 1980 at approximately 2:18 a.m., in Richmond Hill Ontario. My birth weight was 8lbs. 7oz. and I was 14 in. long. My mother was thirteen days overdue with me. As I grew older I seemed to develop at a normal pace. Crawling at eight months, walking at thirteen months and talking fluently at 32 months

I was born on September 11of 2004 in Finley Hospital in the morning. I did not cry much and that is a good thing when I was hungry for food I would eat things like those mash potatoes, pudding cups, pancakes, waffles and sometimes I still eat them. I liked to play a lot so when I was little I loved to throw any type of ball like a tennis ball. Then I would break many things.

On November 8, 1998, I was a surprise to Robin Freeman and Tony Blackwell. It was such a surprise because it was my mom’s birthday. She was celebrating with some pizza when all of a sudden, her water broke. They rushed to the hospital and a couple of hours later, Shirquita Dishae Blackwell was delivered into the world. I think it is unique my mom and I have the same birthday. I was so light in skin color they said my brother thought I was white, but my mom said it had looked like my heart was bigger than any other standing in the room with her.

It was September 25, 2001, and all you saw in the blank white hospital room was two parents and three teeny-tiny babies. They were triplets. These three teeny-tiny babies were Ainsley, Cross, and River Epperson. I am Ainsley Epperson and I was born on September 25, 2001. I have dirty blond hair and hazel colored eyes. I enjoy dancing (tap, jazz, & ballet), studying, and reading.

I was born on the thirteenth of May in the year 2000 to Clair and Jay Brake. At the time, my parents still lived in Mocksville, North Carolina, so I was born in Davis Hospital. I weighed 6 pounds. When I was three, on August the twenty ninth, my little brother Jason was born. My earliest memory is of Dad holding Jason on the first night back from the hospital, and I asked why Mom hadn’t come home with us yet. Dad said she needed to heal from Jason, and I went to bed.

My family was very happy when I was born, before me they had a miscarriage so they planned me after it so it would help them get over their miscarriage. My oldest sister was actually pretty upset when I was born because I had to sleep in her room as a baby and apparently I cried a lot. So she was annoyed at me most of the time. My brother was too young to have an opinion on me.

    My parents entered the hospital at 11:00 and the nurses got my mom to a room. My dad followed nervously and excitedly because they were having a kid. My doctors were Dr. Hartman and Dr. Bush and my nurse was Nurse Donna. Later, at around six Robert Joseph Powers 3 was born.

had to wait a couple of months for the baby to grow to find out if I was getting a baby sister.

I was born on march 11, 2003 in winner south Dakota. It was around 4 in the morning. I was supposed to be born on march 17. It took me like 2 hours to arrive. My dad was bowling when I was born in his league but he left early to come see me. They told my sister to not tell anyone and she told everyone.

I was born on July 30th 2004 at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa in Mason City IA. I was born at 10:59 in the morning on July 30th I was due on July 31st so I was early. I took 18 hours to come out from the time my mom’s water broke to the time I was born. My dad was not present when I came out but he came in when I was born. My dad wanted to call me larry Jr. but my mom refused so they came up with Malachi which means my messenger or a messenger of god. I also had a sepsis infection so I had to be in the ICU for 4 days. I could have died if they had not treated me for the infection.

Perhaps I wasn't planned, but I’m glad that I was brought into this world with the loving family I have, and who they shaped me to be. On the morning of July 10, 2000 I was born at Red Bud Hospital, which was when they still delivered babies. I've heard so many stories about how my birth was the most difficult, and how my mother had to go through so much just for me. When I was born, I didn't have a full head of hair but you could tell that I was a redhead. When my hair had finally started growing out, it was a bright orange, curly mess. I always look back in the Scrapbooks my mom made while my sisters and I were growing up, and to be honest, I looked like a little boy. Thankfully it grew out more and more as the years went on, but as it grew, so did the compliments which honestly became tiring after a while. Honestly though, the red hair is probably what makes me so unique.

I am a Monoamniotic twin. My sister and I were very high risk babies. We had a seventy five percent chance of not living. My original birthdate was July fifth, but because I was so high risk I was born over a month early. In that month my mom had to stay in the hospital. Each day she had nurses and doctors fetal monitoring My sister and I.

Born at 8:33 in the morning. I was born on September 9, 2005. I was born at mercy hospital. My mom had a miss carriage before my sister and me. I was baptized September 25, 2005. I have a 16-year-old sister. When I was a baby, I had a little bit of breathing problems.
