pregnancy survey

okay friends, ready for a little flashback to the myspace quiz/bulletin craze? sorry for the lame-ness, but I think quizzes/surveys are an awesome and easy way to get to know a person a little better. I'll be doing a few of these to link in my "about" and "birth story" sections, so be prepared for more of these bad boys.

if you want to learn more about my pregnancy with kingston then read on, folks!

1. Was your pregnancy planned?
no. my life motto was, "I will never have kids. thanks, but no thanks" - this has since changed :)

2. Were you married at the time?
no, I had been in a relationship with duane for 6 months (yikes).

3. What were your first reactions?
well, I cried. he was speechless. we didn't know what to do, so we went to walmart and bought "what to expect when you're expecting," and I told him I would be choosing the name because it's only fair ;)

4. Was abortion an option for you?
for a minute it crossed my mind. a very, very SHORT minute.

5. How old were you?
20 when I found out, 21 when I had the little peach.

6. How did you find out you were pregnant?
I was a week late, took a test & it was negative. took another test 2 days later & it was positive. went to planned parenthood juuuust to be sure. and sure enough, preggo! :)

duaneee

oh my god yes!

yes indeed, up until the verrrryy end. puking and feeling nauseous became a very normal, everyday thing for me :/

11. What did you crave?
when I was super sick alllll I could eat was plain bean & cheese microwavable burritos. ridiculous. I also craved WATER. I've never drank so much water in my LIFE. I was dead thirsty night & day.

duane, haha. and work.

13. What was your first child's sex?
baby boy :)

14. Did you wish you had the opposite sex of what you were getting?

yes, I had 2. and they were both fabulous!

17. Was it a surprise or did you know?
I knew about them both.


18. Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
he came 2 weeks early. I had a feeling he'd be an early bird & mommy was right! I woke up at around 10:45pm 1/18/10 because I thought my water broke or that I was peeing myself, but when I turned on the lights it was blood. soooo, we drove across the street (literally - very convenient) & I gave birth 1/19/10 at 5:09pm :)

duane

22. Who watched you give birth?
duane and my mom

january 19, 2010. exactly 2 weeks early.
