Jeff was very anxious to get into this world. After 2 short hours of easy labor and he was born on the gurney just inside the doors of the delivery room. I remember the nurses say "don't push!" and replying "I'm not".
The nurses were hurrying Karl to get gowned up so he wouldn't miss the delivery and he came walking into the delivery room with the surgical cap tied under his chin like a baby bonnet. I was so embarrassed. (who could believe I my husband was a "hunk of gorgeous manhood" with a bow tied under his chin.
Seconds later Jeff was delivered/caught by a nurse.
Jeff was beautiful and looked like he had just had a haircut for the occasion...a perfect missionary haircut.
Then nurses confessed that they didn't bring him to my room as often as they could have because they liked cuddle and coo him in the nursery.
Jeff was a very easy going baby that seldom cried. I would often set a timer to remind me to feed him. He just wasn't a complainer...except at Jera's house...then he was fussy. One time when he was inconsolable Jera nursed him. So was always said he has a little Shoemake in him.
So what did you pick for your birthday dessert this year?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our little Jeff.
Jeffrey "Weiner" to his brothers.
And Dr. Tobler to many others.
Love you!
Mom & Dad T.
