the hair color came about when she had chemo..

April 22 was the day i became a mother,
why not she was going to lose it..right?
April 22 was the day i became a mother,
2 weeks after my 18 birthday {and boy was i scared}.. not only was i so young but i had found out on my 18Th birthday i was to have this baby and all future baby's Cesarean section.
wow that is a blow for a girl who didn't know how we were going to pay for a "regular" birth. now we were going to have to pay for surgery..and a long stay in the hospital. you know all those years ago the stay for c-section was much longer than the few days stay of modern times.. i stayed 6 nights 7 days
grumpy and i knew from the time we heard the tiny heart beat..our first baby was a girl. there was no doubt in our minds. or hearts. from the beginning, grumpy called her "dude" he would talk to my tummy as she grew and tell her all kinds of things, only he thought were pertinent . . all the while calling her by name. DUDE. still to this day it is his "special " name for her. it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about the 2 of them. there is no bond like theirs. him and his dude. when she was born we did name her a beautiful name
Sarah Elizabeth {not dude} RAMBLINGS OF THE OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE
{her blog}
we did get a loan from the credit union grumpys mother worked at to pay the huge $1,800. hospital bill and we paid $100.00 a month till she was paid for. funny but we were still paying for her when her sister was born. by that time we did have insurance.
Sarah has always has a smile.. she has a nick name among a group of people "Sarah smiles :)"
she has had many trials. in 2001 she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune Scleroderma
she deals with this well with a wonderful attitude. no matter how sick she gets.
i think her dad, sister and brother, her brothers wife, and sisters husband.. nephew and nieces..and all the other family members will join with me and say a huge
we love you Sarah and happy birthday!!

Thanks for signing up as a follower. I love meeting new people especially another AZ girl. I'm excited to learn more about you.
I'm with you- Ron on the Biggest Loser is a total creep. I can't believe he is still on the show! I'm not to crazy about Helen either- she sent her daughter home so she could stay.

Happy Birthday to your sweet daughter. I am sorry she has had to struggle with health problems but inspired by her courage. And I love the pink hair.
I read your comment about what ward you are in. When we moved to our house 12 years ago our neighborhood and the entire towns of Surprise, El Mirage, and Waddell were all in one ward. And the only youth were the few who live right by me. We aren't even in your stake anymore and your stake is about ready to be divided. My how things have changed!
