My 13th Birthday Tomorrow! - March 31

Exactly 13 years ago tomorrow I was born! Tomorrow is my birthday but I got to celebrate a week early! Mom treated me to a salon day and Kaitlyn and Haley came with us. Karin and Megan at the spa treated Mom and Kaitlyn and Haley too. It was fun! After the spa we went to Gino's East pizza and my friends from school and all Mom's family were there! For a minute I didn't get what was happening and then all of a sudden I realized it was a surprise party!!! I couldn't even talk! Gino made my special pizza and Mom made a chocolate cake that was on my special diet and I even got to have Steaz soda so I didn't miss out on anything! I got to get my hair done and makeup and some cool new shades. Mom said I looked like I was 16. COOL! If you want to send me a message, I have my own email address too. It is bls.2009@att.net. It would be fun to get messages from all the people who are praying for me to get well.
Thanks to everybody.
Love,
Bree

Note from Parents (Mom Jennifer):

Exactly 13 years ago I called the OB doctor and he told me to go to the hospital to get checked (it was a Sunday night) I left for the hospital thinking they would send me right back home...I wasn't due for another month (April 28th). I was shocked when the nurse said, "Well, you won't be leaving here without a baby!" I thought she was nuts!!! I could not believe we spent the entire day shopping for a cell phone so I could call Matt when I was in labor!!!Brianna was born on April 1st (April Fool's Day) and since she couldn't wait another 4 weeks and the fact that it was April Fool's Day, no one believed that I was at the hospital, in labor...including the store manager at Menards (I was in charge of payroll) because I called in sick saying I was in labor and someone needed to send payroll to the general office. I think he finally realized it wasn't a joke mid-afternoon and they decided to scramble to get someone to finish payroll.I remember calling family and friends telling them, "I'm at the hospital in labor...and this is no joke!!" While I was at the hospital my entire family had to scramble to finish the nursery which had the carpeting ripped out and still needed to be painted. By the time we came home all was ready including the new crib and dresser. The entire labor, delivery, etc. was complete chaos but well worth the wait. Born 1 month early, Brianna Leigh still weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces. Thank goodness she didn't wait!! We will post the pictures from her birthday soon so don't forget to check the photo gallery next time.Thank you for all of your continued prayers and support. Thank you to everyone that helped with the party (Bob, Jackie, Grandma, Aunt Pat, Great Grandma, Karin, Megan, Leanne, etc.) I am sorry if I left someone out...please know we are so grateful for all that you do to support us daily! Goc Bless!If you would like to wish Brianna happy birthday, her email address is bls.2009@att.net. She doesn't receive many emails so she will be shocked when she sees the number of emails in her "inbox"

Love to all,
Brianna's Family
