I can remember being in the hospital in labor with Brinlee. I had the craziest nurse ever. It happened to be the night that the first Twilight movie was coming out. The nurse had a really hard time starting my iv- what's new? As she continually stabbed me trying to find a vein, I didn't bleed. She gasped and said, "are you a vampire?" She then went on to suggest that maybe I should name the baby Bella. Boy am I glad I didn't go with her suggestion on that one. Brinlee is a mini me. From the way I looked as a four year old, right down to her uncanny ability to run into walls. Most days it is very enjoyable to have my twin as my child. Other days, I want to "sell her to the gypsies" as my parents would say. One time I told her that I was going to do just that and she retorted, "they won't be able to buy me, I cost too much." How's that for self esteem. I am thankful for the spunky, strong willed, and persistent Brinlee Jean Phillips.
