I remember seeing this tag and wanted to do it so I can remember all these details that changed my life.
1- Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
I was at home
2- Who was with you?
I was by myself
3- How did you find out that you were pregnant?
Home prego test.
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
I was shocked because we had been trying for a little over a year and we were having a hard time getting pregnant. I had taken a home pregnancy test from that dollar store so I thought that it was wrong so I made Brian pee on a different one just to make sure they all didn't say you were pregnant ha ha ha!
6- Who was the first person you told?
Brian was in the other room studying so I went and told him and then I of course called my mom right away.
7-Did you plan to get pregnant?
Yes, we had been waiting for that day to come
8-Was everybody happy for you?
Yes I hope so.
9- Did you go out and celebrate?
I am sure we went to dinner or something.
10- Did you want to find out the sex?
Yes! We even went to the mall so we could find out early. That was such a great day.
11- What was the sex?
It was a GIRL!
12-Did anyone throw you a baby shower?
Yes I had 6
13- If yes, who?
My mom, my sister in law Lori, my ward, my friend Kristi, my friends Ashley and Kristine, my work
14- Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you just knew you weren't going to put on your baby?
Yes of course doesn't everyone.
15- How much weight did you gain?
Well my goal was to only gain 25-35. Ha ha that was funny because I gained 50!! This is me the day before I had Brooklyn.
16- Did you lose all of the weight that you gained?
Yes.
17- Did you get a lot of stretch marks?
I guess I was pretty lucky because I did not get any!
18- What did you crave the most?
Frozen marshmallows I think that I would eat at least a bag every 3 days.
19- Did you crave anything crazy?
No
20- Who or what got on your nerves the most?
Probably Brian...He is such a great husband to put up with me!
21- Were you married at the time?
Yes
22- Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
Towards the end I had really high blood pressure and 5 weeks before I was due I was having some pretty bad contractions so the Dr. put me on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy and boy am I glad it was only 5 weeks!
23- Where were you when you went into labor?
My water broke at 3 am but I did not go to the hospital until 8 am. I woke up at 3 and told Brian that I thought my water broke and he told me just to go back to bed because I had probably just peed my pants ( I know you are all thinking how sick but I swear being 9 months pregnant I was always peeing a little ha ha ha!) So I changed and went back to bed but I woke up at 6 and I knew that I was not peeing my pants. I took a shower and ate breakfast and then I woke up my mom and headed to the hospital. And sure enough my water had broke.
24- Did your water break?
Yes, read the story above for details

28- Was it video taped?
No
29- Did you have any drugs for the pain?
Yes, then even more when it was time for the c-section. I was so drugged I could barely keep my eyes open. How sad is that when your giving birth!
30-Did you go Natural or have a c-section? C-section. I went 11 hours and I had only dilated to a 3 and Brooklyn's head was swelling so we needed to get her out.

I didn't know you had a c-section! The time goes by really fast. It is such a good idea to do this because you don't think you will forget but you do.
That was a cute tag. It was fun to hear everything about your pregnancy. She was and is such a cute baby.

Wow! So fun to read about it! It seems like it just happened, but then when I see the pictures, it feels like forever ago--most of us didn't have babies yet or even on the way. Loved all the details;-)
