Very nice day. At 10:52 AM at the northern Cumberland Memorial Hospital Kimberly Allie Boutilier was born to Mike and Betty Boutilier. Mike and I stay with Betty all night. She was very sick with hard labor pains. Finally Dr. Richards gave her something which helps the pain and the baby started coming. Betty was so pleased and Mike beamed all over. The little might is around our hearts so tight now the boy don’t matter. Mike stayed over here tonight at Betty’s apartment and had Carmen.
