Mommy 411

1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? Yes it sure was
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes, for 1 year and 3 months (2 years when he was born)
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? I was so excited! I knew I was pregnant, but just seeing the positive on the pregnancy test was surreal. I cried.
4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? Uh, no
5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 22 when I got prego, 23 when he was born
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? Pregnany test
7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? Well Jordan was with me when I took the test. Then we told my family on my Mom's birthday, so technically she found out first. We wrote it in her card. We said, well we got you what you wanted for your birthday, but it won't be here until September....she was so excited!
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? I did for sure! Jordan wanted to wait till it was born to find out, but I couldn't do that!! He wanted to wait, but said it was up to me.
9. DUE DATE? September 25, 2008
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? No...before I took a pregnancy test, i felt slightly natious (i dunno how to spell it) but it was in my head if you can understand that. My head felt weird...but it was only for a few days, and it wasn't hardly noticable, but I knew we were trying so I tried to notice it. But no morning sickness for me thank goodness....knock on wood for my future pregnancies.
11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? I didn't really crave anything really. I have always LOVED LOVED candy and that is about the only thing that I really remember wanting more than usual, but it still wasn't bad.
12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? Nothing really. Like I said, I had such a mellow pregnancy.
13. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX? Boy
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? Nope, I wanted a boy from the beginning! I think I wanted a boy first because I had an older brother so I thought that's what it should be...i dunno, but i wanted a boy.
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? All in all I only gained about 25 pounds. It was kinda hard to keep track of what I ended at because they change to Kilos over here instead of pounds, but when I converted it it ended up being about 25-28 pounds.

Ok, so this is me at 37 weeks...but still.
16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? One for sure, and kinda yes/no on the other ones.
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? Well, I was supposed to have 2 showers before I left, but we didn't know I was leaving as soon as I did. The showers were scheduled for the middle of August and we left in the beginning so I didn't get any before I left. But my family still had the shower without me and sent me the stuff. I had a suprise shower here though. Some nice ladies in my ward threw me one.
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY?
No thank goodness. Although at the very beginning at my first appointment they thought I had a molar pregnancy, but we had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and ruled that out. After that, everything was just regular.
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? Kirchberg Hospital at the Clinic of Dr. Bohler.
20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? Well, I started noticing contractions at about 3 am, but i could hardly feel them (that's when we went to bed). I woke up at about 4 with them being more noticable. I went to the hospital at about 6:30 or 6:45 though and was already dialated to an 8! The little guy was born at 9:19 am. So if you count from the very first contraction that i noticed till he was born it was like 6 hours, but if your just counting from when I was at the hospital, it was only about 2 1/2 hours.

21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Jordan
22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH? Jordan, the nice nurse and Dr. Keiffer.
23. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION? It wasn't a c-section. It was as natural as possible with an epidural.
24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN? Oh my gosh yes! Not that it worked! My epidural made it so I couldn't feel the contractions anymore, but I felt everything down below for sure!!! Talk about pain like no other! I might as well have just not had one.
25. HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD WEIGH? About 7.5 lbs, I'm not sure exactly. Over here he weighed 3.4 Kilos.
26. WHEN WAS YOUR CHILD ACTUALLY BORN? September 24, 2008
27. WHAT DID YOU NAME HIM/HER? Wyatt Scott Brady
28. HOW OLD IS YOUR FIRST BORN TODAY? 7 weeks and 1 day
29. DO YOU WANT ANY MORE? The delivery was rough, but of course!! They are so worth it!
