25 years ago, I became a mom and the whole world changed forever. Mike became a daddy. My sisters became aunts which they were very good at. They bought that baby more dresses than she could ever wear. They adored her completely.
The day she was born is fuzzy in my mind. As you can see in this photo I was drugged. They induced at 9:30 am and she was born at 11:17. I set the record at Methodist Hospital in Lubbock. All I remember of delivery is being fascinated by the clock! Demerol will do that to you.
Last week Holly and I had the oddest conversation about babies. What would happen if they were named based on their birth? I'm not sure how we got there but it was pretty funny. Whitney's name would have been "AAAAAAHHHHHH" Putman. I told Holly that her name would have been "COME OUT ALREADY" Putman. She was 8 days late. My name would have been "Hold on, we aren't at the hospital yet" Putman. My mom almost delivered in the elevator.
So Happy birthday Whit! You rocked my world and I have loved it all.

Aww, thank you. Nate's name would have been "Will you please be born already?" Archer (after 3 days labor and a drugged out delivery)
lol wow.....i've never ever seen that picture before. You definitely look drugged. Now I know what that looks like. If I ever come home looking like that then slap me. hahaha happy birthday whit:)
Sadly then, Tommy's name should really be "Pain in the ass Stamness." My lower back pain goes down into my tailbone, which is more of a butt pain than a back pain. However, we'll be sticking with Tommy.

Wow.....Holly looks like you in this picture. I had forgotten this look but remember being so exicted when I got the news that I cried at my desk at the Police Department in Lubbock. Whitney was the most perfect baby I'd ever seen(at that point in my life).....and I absolutely love being Aunt Woo!!!
I remember that she was the prettiest baby ever. She was such a golden color and not all splotchy like most newborns are. It was a great day and I have always loved being her aunt.
