She was putting together platters and food while she was 9 months pregnant. before she went out to deliver the food she went to the bathroom and her water broke. She rushed back to her house where there was a Midwife waiting to help me be born. She had been living in Massachusetts at the time so I was born there, with only my mother and the midwife. My grandma lived in the city so after I was a couple days old she took a plane back to show me off to my grandma. My Gma helped my mother raise me and I live with her to this day. Whenever my mother tells me this story she always points out that shes glad she can tell me an interesting story and not just 'my water broke and I was rushed to the hospital' I love my birth story"
