It's February 9th, 2007 and my mom gave birth to me at 7:10 pm.
My name is Jaffe Dawson Antzis and when my Gram Arlene saw me she was so happy she cried and then when my dad told her my name was Jaffe she cried some more. Jaffe is her maiden name. All her mascara ran down her happy face. She gathered herself, adjusted her shoulder pads and went out to tell her husband, my Grampa Stu, that he could come in to see me. We were only allowed one visitor at a time in the recovery room. My mom was lying next to me on her gurney. She kept telling the nurse she wanted to breastfeed me. She was pissed off because they weren't letting her. They told her they had to warm me up first under the heat lamp. "Heat lamp! Are you insane!" my mom says, "Give her to me! She'll get warm on my chest while I breastfeed her!" They ignored my mom and she called them assholes. I love my mom. I love my Gram and Grampa too. They're tons of fun. They're Jewish hippies from New York. My mom tells her friends that she married into a Woody Allen movie. Woody Allen is her favorite filmmaker and she loves every minute of the fabulous Antzis drama. I'm an Antzis. The first girl grandchild for my Gram and Grampa. I have two boy cousins on my dad's side. My dad's older brother Darren married a super nice lady Lisa, and they have two boys, Marlon and Noah. I can't wait to meet them. They live in Chicago.
I was 6 pounds at birth and am 18 inches long. When my mom and dad found out I was a girl they screamed and cheered. I'm gonna go to sleep now cause it's been a long day.
