My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

New Mommy Monday

Congratulations, Dan and Maribeth - welcome to our crazy family, Samantha Mae.  "Sam" is going to get a brand new play cousin in a week or so.  We were hoping that being around the new baby vibes would bring on labor for Melissa.  What a miracle to see such a calm and peaceful baby with a full head of dark hair - checking all of us out last night as we passed her around to her new grandparents Barb and Papa Joe and Uncle Jeff and Aunt Mel and also "Papa John" (that's what Papa Joe wants him to be called -that name has a ring to it?) and me.
I decided that I should introduce myself to Sam with my Meredith on - but she is going to love my brightly colored turbans that I learned to make yesterday at the "Look Good, Feel Good"  class.  I'll give her something to look at!  I got up early today and downloaded yesterday's pics to Facebook and Walgreens Photo.  Dan's got the really good camera, but my Sony did a nice job too!


So without further ado (a due?)....here is Samantha Mae Snodgrass - 7lb.10oz. 21" long- AKA Sam, Sammy.
Miracles do happen,
Mary
