A Baby Questionnaire

Okay I’ve been tagged by Evan's cousin Liz to complete this meme. All questions relating to my child.

1. Were you married at the time? Yes

2. What were your reactions when you found out you were pregnant? Excited

3. How old were you? 30

4. How did you find out you were pregnant? We had been trying for a few months with no luck. It was January and I was late. So I waited a few days and tested early on a Saturday morning. It was positive! I went back to bed and whispered to Evan that he was going to be a daddy. His response: "cool". We both wanted to go back to sleep but somehow that just didn't happen. We laid there and talked about it. Then we prayed together for a safe, healthy pregnancy and baby.

5. Who did you tell first? I think it was my parents. We emailed them a photo of the positive test. Then we called and had them open the email while on the phone. Fun.

6. Did you want to find out the sex? Yes

7. Due date: September 29

8. Did you deliver child early or late? 1 month early

9. Did you have morning sickness? Mine was not limited to morning. I felt nauseated all day long for about 8 weeks. Then it was gone.

10. What did you crave? No cravings, really. I was hungry for pasta and bread pretty often though.

11. Who irritated you the most? No one irritated me.

12. What was your first child's sex? Boy

13. How many pounds did you gain throughout the pregnancy? 36. Ugh. Still trying to get rid of it.

14. Did you have any complications during your pregnancy? No

15. Where did you give birth to your child? At the hospital.

16. How many hours were you in labor? didn't really know i was in labor. I had back cramps and was thinking of not going to work. But they subsided so I went. In the meantime I called the doctor. The doctor on call didn't think it was labor. He was wrong. I went in for a non-stress test at 11am to find out that I was 5cm. I was fully dilated by 1p. Started pushing at 5:15 (after my parents were there) and Seth arrived at 7:24pm.

17. Who drove you to the hospital? Evan

18. Who watched? Evan and Mom

19. Did you take medicine to ease the pain? I had an epidural. It was great to finally feel relief from the cramping.

20. How much did your child weigh? 6lbs 9oz

21. Why did you name him/her the name you picked? It was a name we both could agree on. It was short, which is nice when the last name is long. Evan liked the idea of using his name for the middle name...so we settled on Seth Evan.
