So I've been kind of a missing person lately. Instead of jumping in and updating you, including the celebration we had for little Bug who turned a year at the end of June, I decided to go back to the basics...... so without further delay, enjoy ~
Here you go mommies - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about your first (possibly only) born! Just copy and paste it.
Let's see how much you remember!
1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? Yes. Both of them were. Sometimes I think I was crazy, but most of the time I'm so thankful.
2. WHAT was your 2nd choice name or your opposite gender name? Aiden was our boys name, however we likely would have spelled it differently
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Very excited. I cried of course.
4. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 25 when she was born
5. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? I took a pregnancy test, told J, then went to a walk in to confirm it
6. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? obviously J, then my parents, J's parents, and S&J.
7. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? nope, but sometimes I wonder if it would have changed the experience. (neither good or bad, just curious, you know?!)
8. DUE DATE? Peanut's due date was March 11 2010
9. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? nope
10. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? junk and lots of it! I had a slurpee almost everyday and burgers and fries. Near the end it was lots of bananas and banana pancakes. (strange cause i hate pancakes - a lot!)
11. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? What didn't irritate me?! Mostly doubt about my birth plan, or questioning why we were/weren't doing something already. basically judgement and advice was right up there on my list.
12. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX? female
13. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX ? nope, I don't know what I would have done with a boy - haha!
