The Beginnings: Birth
Today I was born. I was considered a full term baby although I wasn't due for a couple more weeks. My mom went in for a prenatal check up and had protein in her urine so her kidneys were not functioning properly. So they told her go home and pack because she was going having a baby today. I was breech so my mom had me by C-section. My gender was a surprise to my parents. I was born a healthy baby girl weighing 6 pounds, 12 ounces and 21" long. They decided to name me Marissa Annemarie Campbell. -
