Jenna - A Christmas present

Jenna was the fourth baby in Tammy's family to be born on Christmas day. Read the exciting story of her unexpectedly early arrival!
Tammy's story
Jenna came into our world with a bang; I never expected her to be so early.
It was Christmas Eve and I mentioned to my Dad that I wasn't happy about going all the way up to the lake, just in case something were to happen. I decided to go up (one hour away from the nearest Hospital), thinking I wasn't due for another two weeks.
Supper was wonderful. We opened our gifts and settled our food. We all started watching a Christmas program when I felt some pressure from the baby. Then soon after that pressure my water broke and being so stupid, I didn't even realize what had happened. The contractions started soon after. There I was, one hour away from the Hospita,l and my contractions 5 minutes apart.
My sister drove me to town and just in time. Not an hour later I had a beautiful 8 1/2 pound baby girl. I had Jenna on Christmas morning. She was a blessing. My family was overwhelmed. Now we have four generations born on Christmas day (My Grandma, Aunty, Cousin, and now Jenna). Happy Birthday my little sweety! I love you!
