There don't seem to be many memories of my birth, it could be the mom is tired by the time she gets to number 4. I know my mom was on bed rest for part of the pregnancy because she had a blood clot in her leg. The Doctors actually suggested that she quit having children after that. She did take a break after me for 4 1/2 years, then had 6 more. She's a super woman.
When I was born my mom said that the nurses couldn't believe all that white blond hair. Usually blonds are bald and dark haired babies have all the hair. They would tease about one of the nurses putting peroxide on that babies hair.
My mom also said that they called me the red, white and blue baby. I had white hair, blue eyes and red lips. I have a few red white and blue babies myself, so I know what she means.
the other question that I get a lot is why do you go by Mary when your name is Kristen Mary. I did not make this decision. My parents did and don't remember any details, but I remember my Dad telling me that they wanted Mary, but didn't want my name to sound like Merry Christmas. On my first few pictures they called me Kristen. So, maybe they started out one way and ended up the other.
