January 8th 1935 The King is born!

Somewhere at the end of June of 1934, Gladys Presley was sure that
she was pregnant.In the 5th month of pregnancy she knew she was having twins...
she could feel two babies moving, she was unusually large and she had a family
                  history of twins.                                  

Elvis's birthplace in Tupelo, Mississippi  was built by his father Vernon Presley with 180$ that he borrowed. Gladys and Vernon moved in the house in December of 1934.


In the early morning of January 8th 1935, second baby Elvis Aaron Presley was born. The first baby, Jesse Garon was unfortunately a stillborn and left Elvis growing up as an only child. Shortly after giving birth, Gladys was near to death and she and Elvis had to go in hospital soon. After coming from hospital Gladys was extremely protective over her newborn son, fearing that something bad will happen to him. That's the reason why Elvis was so attached to his mother over the years, until the day she died.
