Here are my answers:



1. How far along are you?

--- 26 weeks exactly.



2. Was this a planned pregnancy?

--- Not at all, it was a huge surprise.



3. Boy or girl (if you know)?

--- GIRL!



4. How are you feeling today?

--- Crappy. I haven%26#039;t been sleeping well at all, so I%26#039;m way overly tired. Therefore I%26#039;ve been getting headaches and have been weapy and really emotional, as is what always happens when I don%26#039;t get enough sleep. I also have had horrible heartburn for the past 2 days, which nothing seems to help. And I have company coming today that will be here until Sunday morning, so it%26#039;s not like I can laze around, even though that%26#039;s all I want to do. So in short, I%26#039;ve been better.



5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?

--- Ice chips.



6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?

--- We%26#039;re sooo much closer. He%26#039;s my rock, he%26#039;s incredibly supportive and has been really helpful throughout the pregnancy. I%26#039;m closer to him than I%26#039;ve ever been to anybody ever in my life. It%26#039;s great.



7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?

--- Towards the end of my first trimester I was really emotional. One day my fiance (baby%26#039;s dad) called from work to check on me and I was in tears because I had dropped something (I was frustrated with how clumsy I%26#039;d become), so he told me to stop what I was doing (cleaning) and meet him at his work and he%26#039;d take me to dinner. I was fine when I got to his work, but no more than 5 minutes after getting in the car I burst into tears again. He asked what was wrong and I said, %26quot;Nothing, I%26#039;m pregnant!%26quot; He thought that was hilarious and has made a point to tell all of our family and friends about it.



8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?

--- I%26#039;m actually not really scared about the labor or delivery. What I%26#039;m most scared about is that my fiance and I will be so preoccupied cuddling our daughter after she%26#039;s born that we won%26#039;t get any pictures taken of her right after the birth. Silly, I know. Haha.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. How far along are you?

5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?

I haven%26#039;t really had much of an appetite - I guess apple juice.

6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?

We%26#039;ve been married for 8 years, but this has brought us closer.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?

Ummm...I can%26#039;t really think of anything funny, except the time at DD when a lady behind me said...%26quot;Are you sure you should be drinking coffee if you%26#039;re pregnant?%26quot; and I said, %26quot;Are you sure you should be eating that donut if you%26#039;re fat?%26quot;

Everyone always referred to my baby as %26quot;he%26quot;, %26quot;him%26quot;, %26quot;buddy%26quot;. Automatically assuming it was a boy. So when I went to my 20 week ultrasound I had already prepared myself to see a little pee pee. Surpise! The ultrasound tech said it was girl! My boyfriend said %26quot;This must be some kind of mistake!%26quot; The ultrasound tech died laughing....

6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad? We have gotten closer. We both take a moment out of every day where we both rub my belly and talk to baby together. We are trying to get as many date nights in a possible now because we know that once she is here, that will soon change. We are coming together and we are counting down the weeks until we are parents.



7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far? I was just over 4 months pregnant when I went to the grocery store to pick up some buns and salad for a BBQ we were going to. I walked by the cart that has all types of olives in it and I had to drop my basket and I went running to the washroom because the smell made my beyound nausecous. I ended up throwing up in a gorcery store bathroom for 5 mintues! To this day, I avoid those carts because I am afraid of the smell.



8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)? It is just so unkown and nothing that I nor we have experienced before so I am afraid of almost all of it. I know that I can do it, but I am not really sure what to think about it all yet.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?

~A few weeks ago I was really craving dinner from this Italian place. My boyfriend didn%26#039;t want to go and spend money, but I DEMANDED that he take me there so I could have it. I totally gorged on salad, pasta, chicken and breadsticks. About 45 minutes after we got home, I got a really bad stomachache and went to the bathroom because I thought I had to poo. I sat there for awhile, unable to go, and then I got REALLY hot. I ended up stripping off all of my clothes and was in the bathroom moaning because the pain in my stomach was so intense. Then I got violently ill and threw up everything I had eaten. I felt better immediately after that (I just ate waaaay too much) but my boyfriend came in to find me sitting on the floor in front of the toilet completely naked. LOL He was really nice and didn%26#039;t give me a hard time even though I just HAD to have that Italian food!

8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?

~Everything. I worry about pre-term labor. I worry about labor even when her and I are ready. I worry about having bonding issues or PPD after she%26#039;s here.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. 33 weeks tomorrow

3. Boy or girl (if you know)?

I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks, and they said 80% chance it%26#039;s a boy



4. How are you feeling today?

Tired, this was supposed to go away after the first trimester, but it hasnt so far.



5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?

French Fries, i loved them to begin with, but now i cannot live without them.

6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?

Well so far it is not much different, we have a 20 month old already, so it has changed since having her. we dont have as much time to spend alone, and everything has to be about her first. which is good, but at times can be frustrating.



7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?

well I dont have one for this one yet, but when i was pregnant with my daughter I had a guy start talking to me in the post office and he was asking me how far along I was, and when i told him he was very surprised because i was (as he put it) %26quot;huge%26quot;. but he told me not to worry about it, because his neice was big boned too, and she thinned right out after the baby was born!! I could believe he actually said that to me!

oh and my daughter was due on october 4th, and my little brother kept insisting that i should hold her in until november. my b-day is nov. 5th, and his is nov. 4th. so he thought it would be cool if she was born on the 3rd, or the 6th. and no matter how many times i tried to tell him that it just wasnt possible, he kept trying to tell me to wait a little longer.

8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?

well i have done it once, but i am nervous that i will have to be induced again. I really dont want to be because it was horrible beig hooked up the entire time, i wasnt able to labor on my own. and i am always scared of tearing, it freaks me out to think of it.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?



So the first trimester- I was SICK as a dog. I was throwing up about 5 times a day. Anyway, one day I was throwing up in the bathroom, and my 2 year old daughter came in and saw me. I was afraid she%26#039;d be worried or concerned. But nope, she just said. %26quot;Mommy, no. Potty bum. Not potty face.%26quot; Yep, she just proceeded to teach me that you potty from your bum, not from your face.



8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?



Well, after 15 hours of labor, I had an emergency C-section with my first pregnancy and the anesthesia didn%26#039;t work. So when they started cutting, I felt it! I ended up being knocked out, but it was a traumatic experience. So I%26#039;m just terrified of another C-section. I still have nightmares about it.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1.

8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?





Here are my answers:



1. How far along are you?

--- 24 weeks and 1 day.



2. Was this a planned pregnancy?

--- Hahaha nooooooo.... This one%26#039;s nickname will definitely be %26quot;Oopsie%26quot;.



3. Boy or girl (if you know)?

--- Girl, which is unfortunate since I can%26#039;t think of any girl names I like.



4. How are you feeling today?

--- Overall pretty well. I have some heartburn going on, which is new. Also a little sore %26amp; achy around the midsection/back.



5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?

--- Throughout the pregnancy, I craved fruity, frozen stuff (smoothies, sherbet, Icees etc.). Now I%26#039;m on a huge fast food kick, which is too bad for my husband since he%26#039;s trying to lose weight and has basically no willpower.



6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?

--- We have a more intimate bond than we did before. The sex is better since we don%26#039;t have to worry about knocking me up anymore. Also we%26#039;re way more lovey-dovey.



7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?

--- Um, no hilarious pregnancy material yet. Maybe the funny stuff will come in a few weeks.



8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?

--- Not scared about labor or delivery, I know I%26#039;ll be fine (I just really, really don%26#039;t want a C-section). The only concerns I have are about my baby%26#039;s health.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. 37 weeks and 2 days

2. No it came as a big surprise

3. Boy!!!

4. Fine other than a lil restless

5. Pizza(thin crust)

6. We live together but just i lil different because of the situation of us being new parents.

7. Hum... IDK about that one I don%26#039;t really think I have a funny pregnancy story.

8. Actually I am not all that scared or nervous. I am really looking for the labor adn delivery. I plan on doing it without the help of an epidural, because I wanna feel the pain and experience for myself. All though I am a lil nervous on a c-section since I don%26#039;t want one at all and I don%26#039;t what will happen I fear a lil that maybe something will go wrong and cause me to need a c-section.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. How far along? 14 weeks today



2. Planned? Yes, but we weren%26#039;t planning on it happening so quickly (within 2 weeks of having my IUD removed)!



3. Perinatologist says his educated guess is 90% certain it%26#039;s a boy. It%26#039;s still a little too soon to tell though!



4. Other than a !@#$%^%26amp;*( stuffy nose that I%26#039;ve had since day one (ARGH!!) pretty darn good, although I have to pee like a race horse (yet again!) but I want to finish answering this question first!



5. Craving? So far, nothing really. I%26#039;ve been really thirsty though. Lots of water and sweet tea. I guess that%26#039;s a craving, sort of. :)



6. Relationship? About the same. :)



7. Funny story? I told my boys (ages 5 and 4) that they were going to have a little brother or sister around Christmas time. My four year old asked to see the baby and I said, %26quot;You can%26#039;t see it--it%26#039;s in my tummy!%26quot; He asked me to open my mouth, and he looked in and asked, %26quot;Why did you chew it and swallow it with your shark teeth??%26quot; He looked truly horrified, and actually said %26quot;shark%26quot; (not sharp!)



8. Fear of labor? I%26#039;m most scared that my doctor won%26#039;t let me try for a VBAC (vag. birth after c-section). My first was vaginal (smooth sailing!) second was emerg. c-section (cord was around his neck several times) and now my dr. is telling me he absolutely will NOT let me try for a VBAC, even though I%26#039;m a prime candidate for one! I have a consult at a different ob/gyn%26#039;s office in a few weeks. Wish me luck!
