Happy Day before your birthday Lucy!

But I thought you had twins?

Yes, I do. However, it was 8 years ago this very day when Dr. Phil and Lucy broke my water. And this time, I was sure it was my water breaking, and not that weird pee thing. Lucy was born an hour and a half before Max. I don't know if any of you have ever been in between birthing babies and had to wait an hour and a half before the second one came out. So don't go judging me and my irrational favoritism.

I consider myself to be a pretty fair person. Still, today, Lucy is my favorite.

Don't go getting your undies in a bunch. Unless you're wearing thongs, because they don't bunch. I'm just sayin. Still, don't get all holier than thou on me. My favorite child policy and celebration is fairly private and completely unwarranted. I keep all to myself aside from the millions who read this blog today.

While we're at it, lets give a quick shout out to Dr. Phil. He was helpful in launching me into motherhood.

I can see it now, now that I know my babies. It probably went down in my uterus like this,
"MAX! Come on! We've gotta go! We need to get out of here. Let's GO MAX! MAX there's more room out there and we're totally ready for this! MAX let's GO! MAX! MAX! MAX! MAX Come ONNNNNNNN!"

"LUCYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Leave me alone I want to stay it's nice and wa........"

"MAX LETS GO!"

"LUCCCYYYYYYYYYYYY! It's nice and warm and I want to stay and...."

"MAX you need to come out before they come get you it won't be fun."

"LUCYYYYY! You interrupted me!"

"MAX! Let's go!"

"LUCYYYYYYYY! It's warm and snuggly up in here. I'm staying."

"MAX!"

"Let go of my tiny little baby arm. I'm going to crawl up higher so you can't reach me! I'm gonna do it! You're NOT THE BOSS OF ME!"

"Fine Max, I'll go, but they're coming in to get you."

"Lucy? Where did you go?"

That's probably exactly how it all happened! And yes, a little part of me loves that Max wanted to stay and snuggle just a little bit longer. Lucy doesn't let me have a lot of Max time ever since that day 8 years ago. So, maybe he was on to something. Maybe Max is the forward thinker.

I don't really have favorites y'all. Favorites are for ice cream. But still, it's on this day 8 years ago, that my life began thanks to Dr. Phil, and Lucy, and eventually Max.

That's how I roll.
