Baby Tag (For my first baby) -Just for fun...
1- Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
In my bathroom with the 70's pink/orange/yellow linoleom.
2- Who was with you?
Just me, and then I got Travis and he was super excited, but we couldn't believe it.
3- How did you find out that you were pregnant?
On a home pregnancy test, and later we went to our friend's house. And somehow we were both going to go to the store before all heading back to our house, but I knew that I didn't want to go to the store together, because I wanted to buy another pregnancy test just to make sure. But we didn't want them to know... So it was a funny story after we actually did come out with the news.
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
We were both way excited!
5- Who was the first person you told?
Travis.
6-Did you plan to get pregnant?
Yes.
7- Did you tell everyone else right away?
We could only hold it in for two weeks, so I was 6 weeks pregnant when we told the family. We wanted to wait longer to tell people, but it just sort of came out in a pictionary game at Travis' family's house.
8-Was everybody happy for you?
Yes, everyone was ecstatic. Especially because our baby was the first one born to someone other than Dan and Jan in Travis' family. And on my side, it was the first grandchild.
9- Did you go out and celebrate?
Other than a fun night with friends that was already planned? No.
10- Did you want to find out the sex?
Yes, I couldn't wait to find out.
11- What was the sex?
Girl! I was so excited!
12-Did anyone throw you a baby shower?
Yes, some friends threw one for me, and then also Travis' family.
14- Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you just knew you weren't going to put on your baby?
Yeah, I think there were some dingy yard sale clothes... :S
15- How much weight did you gain?
About 40 lbs.
16- Did you lose all of the weight that you gained?
No, I had only lost 25 of it before I got pregnant with my next one.
17- Did you get a lot of stretch marks?
Yes, and then got some more with my next pregnancy.
18- What did you crave the most?
Cold cereal was about the only thing I could handle for a while. But I also wanted lots of SUGAR!
19- Did you crave anything crazy?
No.
20- Who or what got on your nerves the most?
The smells of ANYTHING... My apartment, Travis, food cooking....
21- Were you married at the time?
Yes
22- Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
No, I felt GREAT for most of my pregnancy, except for the couple months of nauseous stage. I got the flu on top of that once, and couldn't keep anything down for a whole 24 hours... I think I counted that I threw up 11 times that day...ugh...
23- Where were you when you went into labor?
I was at the hospital, because I was induced at 2 weeks overdue.

I'm glad you did it, too. That was fun to read your experience.
6 hours with being induced? That's amazing.
I really think that I might want to try the hypnobabies thing next time. Because I want to go natural and there's not really any great classes or anything offered in St. George. And they have a home course, right? Yeah, I think you've made a believer out of me. (: (Before this post, but it adds to it.)
