Sarahmae ~ Precious Princess, Mother of Nations

Happy Birthday Sarahmae!

Today is my first-born's birthday... she is 32 today. I was 22 when I gave birth to her and she is a treasure to me as are all my beloved children! There are so many memories, so many pictures... And still, this is just the beginning of the rest of her life, the rest of her journey... 
And here is where it all begins......
Sarahmae was born on November 4, 1978 at 10:34 pm in Redwood City, California. She was a beautiful 19" long and 6 pounds, 9 oz. I had 6 1/2 hours labor with her. I wanted to have her at home but instead labored in my waterbed until it was almost time for her to come! I remember sitting on my knees backwards in our 1955 Packard 400 as we sped off to the hospital! It was worth it all!
