did I ever tell you guys the story?
My parents were getting ready to go to a party at a friends house, mom wasn't due for another 10 days, until her water broke at 6pm.
They had already picked a boys name, but not a girl name, so they decided on the way to the hospital. That's why my middle name is Michelle, from the Beatles song on the radio...!
The hospitals downtown all had bets going as to who would have the first of the new year that evening, so when my parent's showed up, the doctor asked my DAD (see women had no say back then, eh?) If he wanted a New year's baby or a tax deduction...he was game for the fun, so he said let's go for the New years baby!
They actually put a clamp on my mom's belly and held her knees till midnight...I was born at 15 SECONDS after New Year 1970. First baby of the decade in the whole Bay Area! 
...got my name in the paper, but no diapers or flowers for my poor mom.
I used that paper article in show & tell for years... lol
