100 Things about Mary Kaisand (Tometich)
I've spotted other blog posts in blog-land of people posting 100 things about themselves. I thought I would give it a try and take up on the challenge. To come up with 100 random things can be difficult, but I think I'm ready. For the record, I wrote this February 8, 2011.
1. When my mom was pregnant with me, she had to go to the hospital and get an IV because she was so weak and sick. Morning sickness lasted 24 hours.
2. My dad wanted to name me Mary Anne, but my mom wanted just Mary. They compromised and my middle name is Anne.
3. When I was born, my mom said the room was full of people. There was a possibility that I had spina bifida (like my brother), so they were prepared to take action.
Spina bifida is a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord or its coverings. The term spina bifida comes from Latin and literally means "split" or "open" spine.
