I honestly don't know anything about my birth. I never thought to ask my mother about it, and both my parents are dead now so I guess I'll never know.

I was a little bitty thing, not premature, just small, and it wasn't until I hit adolescence that I finally caught up with everyone else in the height department. My mother told me that I wore toddler size clothes well after I started school. I managed to hit 5'2", which is pretty damn impressive considering that the men on my father's side never got over 5'6" tall, and my grandmother was a whopping 4'10" tall.

I was an only child and raised pretty much around adults, there weren't many kids living in my neighborhood, so I matured quickly. That's all I know about my early years.

to be said about not knowing certain things about your birth though, for me, I would have had questions. Curiosity more than anything. Having only two pictures in our family albums of me, in the early days, one as a newborn, the next as probably a 1 year old, I wondered if I had been adopted. I only had to look at my older brother to know that it wasn't a possibility since we are near clones of each other, even the down to the blonde wavy hair. The difference is that he is like 6'3" and I'm 5'6" (though Hope will tell you I'm 5'5" because she measured me about two years ago-brat, ruined my self image..LOL..I'm shrinking!!!).

You were tiny!!!! I was always tall for my age then I stopped growing and everyone grew up around me. My nick in grade 2 was big feet..LOL...because my height and my feet were so big for someone that age. Thankfully I grew into my feet and they are now average.
