We didn't know the dangers of an older pregnant woman then as much as we do now. I had been glad to get Jim here before I was 30, though!
Before delivery time for John Dan, I asked our obstetrician about the possibility of my having any more pregnancies. He said that the way it looked to him, I could have ten more children! Wow!
That helped us decide for me to have a tubal ligation. I must have come from a fertile family of females. My grandmother had K-Mom when she was 46.
All day on January 15th, I had vague labor pains .…not much…. just off and on.
By the time John got home from work, we decided it was time to go to the hospital. Agnes again came for the children.
The labor slowed down before midnight and the doctor decided to wait until morning to start them again.
I remember nothing about that night, but they started the labor the next morning. Don't know whether John went home or not, but John Dan arrived the next morning, the 16th of January, 1959.
After we admired our beautiful son, John left, and of course I slept. He went to Paschal and asked for Carolyn. They found her and he told her about her new baby brother.
