1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? Not necessarily. He wasn’t planned yet.
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes, a little over 2 years
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Surprised, but excited
4. (#4 was a stupid question!)
5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 23
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? Took a pregnancy test that had the lines, but I didn’t trust it so I bought another one that said pregnant. I took the first one at work and didn’t trust the result so bought another on the way home and took another one.
7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? I came out and told Kevin I had another birthday present for him. He was making rice, and ended up burning it.
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? Yes, I was not about to wait.
9. DUE DATE? First it was November 20th, but after the ultrasound and measuring the baby they changed it to November 29th. Not cool.
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? I never threw up, I just didn’t feel good. I pretty much came home from work and laid on the couch the rest of the night.
11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? I had a week of craving steak, and later another week of pickles. Kevin liked steak week, not a fan of the pickles.
12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? Having to get up in the night to go to the bathroom. Not a fan!
13. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD’S SEX? Boy! We almost didn’t find out, because he would not give us any shot. Finally, he flipped over and we caught a glimps.
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? No. Girls will come later.
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? I think about 50.
16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? Yew. I had a co-ed shower given by Erin, and another shower given by Sherrie and Sariah (who were both dealing with their own morning sickness!)
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew about both.
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? No, luckily.
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? St. Mary’s here in Reno.
20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? I started having contraction after Thanksgiving dinner, but slept those off. Then made my husband and brother-in-law attempt shopping on black Friday. We had to stop often for contractions. I got to the hospital at 8 pm, they emitted me at 9 (had to walk the halls for a while), got my epidural at 11ish, started pushing about 2 am, and he was born at 6:33 am.
21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Kevin.
22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH? Kevin and the doctors and a traveling nurse from Georgia that was with me all night. I got there just after her shift started and he was born right before she left.
23. WAS IT VAGINAL OR C-SECTION? Old fashion way plus drugs.
24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN? Heck yes! Peter was my favorite man. I got to see him twice since my epidural ran out. Kev was looking out for me and notified the nurses my bag was running low.
25. HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD WEIGH? 8 lbs. 7oz. The nurses kept asking if it was my giant in the nursery.
