Yes. ;)

@Rosie: yes - time flies, doesn't it? Okay, I will. ;D =)

For all those of you who have been praying for Taylor, thank you! You will be happy to hear that his therapists are amazed with him, and keep insisting that he "is not normal for Down Syndrome". He is crawling all over the place, and we think he will walk soon. Thank you for all your prayers!

I know!!! I can remember the Sunday morning when a family who was staying with them came to church, announcing that Mrs. W. was in labor with Moriah! =)

LOL yeah! I woke up and I couldn't believe it! (BTW, this is Hannah impersonating Carissa. :P)
Mom's labor had started at 10:30 PM the night before. :P Moriah was born like 21 hours after labor started!

Interesting…when Taylor was born, Mama told me she thought she was in labour at about 4 or 4:30 pm. Next thing we knew, the baby was here at 5:51 pm, no midwife here or anything!!! Yeah, it was crazy. I completely flew away with my own emotions…I think I ran downstairs and yelled at the other 6 who were movie-watching; "IT'S A BOY!!!!!" Then later, I was so happy, but I had a good cry anyways. xP

Yeah, we didn't know either if it was a boy or girl. We were anxiously waiting downstairs with a older girl from church watching us while the midwife, dad and mom were upstairs. Then Dad just walked down normally, like nothing had happened, but he was smiling as he passed us and just said "girl." Then Elisabeth and I went ballistic. :)

xD Wow…would you want to be your mom's doula if she'd let you? I can remember seven of my siblings' births. :) Too bad, I can't remember all of them…since Matthew is older than me… xP

I've already said it a couple of times, but here's my "official" Happy Birthday wishes for Bethany. :D :P BTW, I think she's entering her nineteenth year…

One's first year passes while one is zero. One's second year passes while one is one. One's third year passes while one is two. One's fourth year passes while one is three. One's fifth year passes while one is four. One's sixth year passes while one is five. One's seventh year passes while one is six. One's eighth year passes while one is seven. One's ninth year passes while one is eight. One's tenth year passes while one is nine. One's eleventh year passes while one is ten. One's twelfth year passes while one is eleven. One's thirteenth year passes while one is twelve. One's fourteenth year passes while one is thirteen. One's fifteenth year passes while one is fourteen. One's sixteenth year passes while one is fifteen. One's seventeenth year passes while one is sixteen. One's eighteenth year passes while one is seventeen. One's nineteenth year passes while one is, (how did you guess?), eighteen.
Thus when one has one's eighteenth birthday, one enters one's nineteenth year.

I tried to explain that as exhaustively as possible; -dose- (what, like of medicine?) does that make sense?

Thank you! That makes sense now.
The only thing I'd ever "facedesk at" is: me returning to old bad habits. :P facedesk

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the birthday wishes! =)

Nicolas - Yeah, I guess that's what it means. You know….it actually feels a tad bit different being 18 XD

One could also count the nine months in the womb, but that might get a little confusing.

I already told you this on the phone, and in my letter, but seeing there's no harm in saying it again ^at least, I hope not^ - A very happy 18th birthday to you, Bethany!!! :D :D

I do that sometimes, for that express purpose. xP So as of last month, I've been alive for seventeen years, and am in my eighteenth year already. xP
