Baby Tag

I remember seeing this tag on Marianne's blog 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 on 3/5/08
2- Who was with you?
I was by myself.
3- How did you find out that you were pregnant?
Home prego test and Colt also took my blood and tested me at the lab.
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
I was shocked it happened so soon because I miscarried the month before.

5-Did you get morning sickness? Yes, it started around 6 weeks and went away after 16 weeks. I got lucky not to have it too bad. I just felt yucky and I had to make sure I always had some crackers or something with me. I only threw up maybe 10 times and 1 time I actually missed the toilet, I was running to the bathroom and got the wall. I laugh right after I thought it was pretty funny.

6- Who was the first person you told?
I went and saw Colt for lunch that day but I didn't want to tell him until after school because he had a test right after lunch and I didn't want to distract him. I remember we ate at Hogi Yogi and we were just talking like normal and out of the blue he says "your pregnant huh" So then he knew. Then after lunch I went to the office to talk to my Mom but someone was in her office so I was patiently waiting, then she shouted out of her office with the person still in there "are you pregnant?" Then my mom knew and everyone around my moms office knew. I guess you could just see it on my face. What can I say I was pretty happy.
7-Did you plan to get pregnant?
We got pregnant in August 2007 by accident and after I miscarried that one we started trying since. We got pregnant again in January and miscarried right after and then again in March.
8-Was everybody happy for you?
Yes I hope so.
9- Did you go out and celebrate?
I sure we probably did but I cant remember. I think it was dinner some where.
10- Did you want to find out the sex?
Yes of course! I am a planner and had to have everything ready before he got here. Becides I don't think I could wait that long to find out, 20 weeks is long enough to wait.

11- What was the sex?
A BOY. I knew right away that I was having a boy. I had lots of dreams and feelings that it was a boy
12-Did anyone throw you a baby shower?
Yes I had 3
13- If yes, who?
My sister Jen threw me one in Colorado, My Mom did one and my work did one.
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. Haha that was funny because I gained 45-50!!!!
16- Did you lose all of the weight that you gained?
No. I lost 30lbs. the first 2 weeks and then it seemed like nothing was happening for a while until I started on the Bodybugg. I have lost 8lbs in the last 2 weeks. Too bad it wasn't another 30 :) So a total of 38, I still have a ways to go.
17- Did you get a lot of stretch marks?
YES! That cocca butter crap does not work at all and I used that stuff everyday from 6 weeks on. So that was a waste of money and I'll thank my wonderful genes to.
18- What did you crave the most?
Cold Stone, pretzel bites from Pretzel Maker, Watermelon and graham crackers in milk, oatmeal, and bagel and cream cheese.
19- Did you crave anything crazy?
No, But I did like some weird smells. I loved the smell of Utah Lake and my make-up. When I smell those it just made me happy. Weird huh?
20- Who or what got on your nerves the most?
A lady at the store asked me "are you having 1 or 2?" everyone at the office saying "you still haven't had your baby" "are you sure your not having twins" "you still here" "wow you still have 2 months left" I wanted to slap everyone that asked my those stupid questions and ask them "are you serious?"
21- Were you married at the time?
Yes
22- Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
I had horrible cramping and bleeding at 31 weeks I still don't know why but everything was fine. High blood pressure on Halloween probably because I hate the holiday. Other then that everything was fine. I was lucky to have a very good pregnancy other then the fact that I got HUGE.
23- Where were you when you went into labor?
I didn't go into labor until I got to the hospital and they induced me and still after tons of pitocin I didn't really progress hardly at all.
24- Did your water break?
No, the doctor broke it for me.
25- Who drove you to the hospital?
Colt
26- Did you go early or late?
Late, I got induced 1 week after my due date.
27- Who was in the room with you when you gave birth?
Colt was in the room and my Mom was out in the hall. They only allowed 1 person in the operating room.
28- Was it video taped?
Well since it turned into a c-section I thought it would be cool to tape it but no cameras were allowed until after the baby was born.
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 16 hours and only dialated 1 centimeter. I just was not progressing so doctor said it's time to get the baby out.
31- What was your first reaction after giving birth?
Yea he is finally here! I never knew the baby was out until they brought him over to see me because he never did cry but he was fine. I was so sleepy though just from all the drugs and it was 4:40 in the morning.

That might be all I hope I didnt forget anyone.
36- Did the baby(s) have any complications?
No, he just wanted to be stubburn and not come out.
37- How old is your baby today?
He will be 2 months exactly tomorrow
38- When is the next one(s) coming?
Anywhere from 1 year to when Colt is done with school. We are not to sure yet. We will keep the rest a surprise.
39-If you could, would you do it all over again?
Yes of course. This time I want to wait longer before I get my epidural to see if I will dilate and try for a VBAC.

I tag everyone who wants to do this. It's a great way to keep the memories. It's a fun tag so everyone do it.
