Who hasn’t heard the stories of their birth a million times?
As many times I have heard them it never gets old. Here are some fun facts of the day of my birth 24 years ago.
- My twin brother and I were actually due on Feb. 2nd!
- My mom was 20 when she gave birth to us
- I came of the womb via c-section exactly one minute before my twin bro
- We were big twins… my twin bro was just over 7 pounds and I was just over 6
- My parents swear I was born at 8:15 pm, but my birth certificate says 8:15 am
- The original spelling of my name was Meghanne but the e as cut off on the birth certificate and my mom just kept it that way
- We are the grand children and great grandchildren on my Mom’s side of the family. My Grandmas was only 36 when we were born!
- We were born in the same hospital as my Dad had been 22 years earlier
- Not only do I share a birthday with my twin brother, but I also share it with my cousin Debby, who is exactly 2 years older then me and still jokes how she spent her second birthday waiting at the hospital for us to be born
I could hear all of these stories over and over again and each year I swear I learn something new. Birthdays are just so fascinating!!
Birthdays through the years (well at least the years I have them on my computer!)
2005 – I turn 20 and pierce my nose!
2006 – I turn 21, Risky Business Waltz and Sky Diving!
2007 – I turn 22 and celebrate at Disney
2008 – I turn 23 and my family rents a cabin in Georgia for the weekend
2009 – I am now 24 and spent the week celebrating with my family in Colorado!
This morning I put on my running shoes for the first time in a week and set out for a birthday run. I started out slow, but I could tell my body was hating me for taking a week off, it was refusing to get into my running groove. After a mile my side was cramping and I had to stop and walk it out. I started again and went another mile until I reached my running groove. Oh I how I missed that groove! It wasn’t until mile 3 did I realize I forgot my Ipod… its funny it took me that long to realize I was running with out my ipod crutch. I just let my thought run wild and enjoyed the silence. I completed 5.12 miles, not bad considering its been over a week since my last run!
We had no fruit in the house this morning for my birthday breakfast! I managed to grin and bear it as I pulled this mix out for Birthday Scones.
I had this scone and then another one just a little smaller with no sugar added Apple Butter.
It was a great breakfast, but missing fruit!!
I’m still going back and forth on what to do for the rest of the day, but I do have a special dinner planned tonight with friends at Seasons 52 that I am looking forward too!
Oh yeah… HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!!! (Can’t forget it’s the twin bros birthday too!)

Happy Birthday to Meghann and Josh! Wow, you guys were big! My sister and I combined only weighed 7.5 pounds!
My twin sister and I are 1/2 hour apart – I came out first and she was breach so they were able to turn her around. I always felt responsible for her and ended up basically talking and making decisions for both of us.
That worked until we left for two separate colleges and she called me crying telling me she didn’t realize how much I took care of her! Luckily she went to school where my brother went so she wasn’t completely alone!
Happy Birthday
Hope you enjoy every minute of it – i think it’s awesome you have a twin 
So neat!
happy birthday!!!
