My brother's birthday

Today is my little brother's birthday. He is 3 years younger than I am. I remember the night he was born. I was about 3 yrs and 3 months old. My Dad and I were sleeping at the top of the stairs on a blanket and down below in the big room, lay my Mom with the doctor. The doctor called out to us. "Your little brother is here." My Dad and I went right down and there lay my Mom in this big bed with a white bedspread on it and tucked under her arm was a little black haired head. And there he was! My little brother. They didn't know in those days whether it would be a girl or a boy, but they told me I would have a little brother. I have always wondered how it would have affected me if he had been a little sister.
