27 years ago today......

I WAS BORN!!!

1. I was born on March 15, 1982
2. I was born in Driggs, Idaho
3. I was 21 inches long---What happend I am super short now.
4. I weighed 7 pounds 7 oz--smallest of all my siblings
5. I had L O N G fingers
6. I had L O N G toes
7. I had dark hair---not a lot at birth, but it grew fast. My hair has ALWAYS been long.. as soon as it could be anyway.
8. I was the second child---me and my older sister were 22 months apart.
9. My original due date was March 5 (my aunt MaShel's b-day)
10. I was born a day before my Grandpa Hartshorns birthday (March 16th). I guess I needed my own day! Weird because my mom thought I looked like Grandpa Hartshorn when I was born
11. My parents liked the name Bridget and the pretty ring it had to it
12. My middle name is after my two great grandma's (Mae and May..hence the Maye).
13. The hospital I was born in only had about 10 rooms
14. The Dr. that delivered me was named Dr. Head
15. We lived in Tetonia, Idaho when I was born. We lived in a trailer home behind Grandma and Grandpas store that Mom and Dad ran... where our handprints once were in the cement.. I don't remember what happened to em!
16. My mom was only 21 when she had me
17. I have been told that when I used to drink my bottle my eyes went crazy... (microscawjawwiner---I am not making this diagnosis up... it really does exist.. go ask Dr. Anderson at the U of U)!
18. I was my mom's favorite baby... sorry sisters! :)
19. I was blessed on May 2nd by my Dad. My blessing dress was made by mom Mom out of lots of lace that Great Grandma Glover tatted for me.
20. I would cry all the way home to Tetonia after we left Grandma's cus I wanted her
21. I was always sick and caught every sickness that went around--my voice was hoarse a lot
22. I loved playing with dolls
23. I NEVER liked animals. Funny how things that start so young become WHO YOU ARE!
24. When I got older, I HATED wearing pants with zippers.. I would only wear pants with elastic!
25. I always wanted to be 'going'. If the car went somewhere, I was in it......with my purse that was completely organized with pen, paper and anything else I might need.
26. I didn't have a binkie after 6 months or a bottle after 12 months---I plan to carry this on for sure!!!
27. I never sucked my thumb and I was potty trained as soon as I turned 2!

I hope you had a great birthday. It's always fun to have one special day that is just yours. Also, thanks for the advice on the rocker. Where did you get it? Did you buy it in Logan? Do you know of web site that I could look at them? Jarom and I decided the same thing about a glider rocker after testing a couple out. We want to get something nice and not so cheap. That will last for a few children.
