Baby

Here he is at 20 weeks. :)

All about baby!

So I guess I will try this again. First of all I'm pregnant. Duh. And I guess i will just answer this list of questions so I don't forget anything. But be warned. I'm pretty sure I'm one of those annoying people who loves being pregnant. So here you go...

How did you find out you were pregnant? I'm pretty sure I knew before I took the test but I had taken so many and had negative results that I didn't know for sure.

What kind of pregnancy test did you use? The dollar store ones gave me the earliest results. I had a few different kinds cause I didn't know if I trusted the dollar store brand but it gave me my accurate result like five days before EPT.

How many? Three at first with faint lines. Then again a couple days later. Then again just for fun.

What were your first symptoms? Well before I took the test when I was like 1 1/2 weeks after conception my boobs started hurting all of a sudden but again I couldn't believe it and thought maybe it was just a period symptom that I'd never had before. I was nervous to get over excited. But then I took a test!

Who did you tell first? My mom was with me cause I was scared I'd be negative. The I told chase. He asked "the line doesn't seem very dark...?"  And I just kept saying "a lines a line!"

First reaction? Excitement but scared. It didn't seem real till I went to the doctor at eight weeks and he told me for sure tha I was and we did an ultrasound. I just couldn't believe it.

Was your baby planned? Oh yes.

When was your baby conceived? St Patrick's day. (Though that really means nothing, we weren't wasted for the celebrations of anything. Just happened to be that day)

How far we're you when you found out? I was between 3 and 4 weeks pregnant. So a week and a half after conception.

How did your parents react? Excited duh.

Any adventures while being pregnant? At 15 weeks I did the Ragnar. At 22 weeks I went to lake Powell and wake surfed. At 33 weeks I went camping in Yosemite for five days.

Due date? December 8, 2012

Gender? Boy

Name? Lincoln James Potter

Any ultrasounds? One at 8 weeks to make sure he didn't have a friend in there. And one at 20 weeks for gender and growth checking. I don't think I will have anymore.

Have you felt the baby move? Yes this started at 16-17 weeks. It was a Thursday. And it was the best feeling. Now he's going crazy all the time.

Morning sickness? It was never unbearable. I only threw up once. Pretty much between 9 and 12 weeks I was nauseated all day. I didn't have an appetite my whole first trimester though. I actually lost 10 pounds. 

Cravings? Salads, fresh fruits, fresh vegtables. Pregnancy is not an excuse to eat crap!

Mood swings? No not really. Just the sudden urge to nest.

Any complications? Nope. Weight gain perfect. Measuring perfect.

Feeding plans? Breast feeding for sure.

When did you start showing? Barely showing at about 22 weeks. Then he popped out.

How could you wear regular clothes? Till I was 7 months. Even now at 34 weeks I wear mostly regular clothes. I only have 2 pairs of maternity jeans, 1 pair of leggings and a few shirts.

Natural or medicated birth? Undecided.

Who will be in delivery with you? My husband if he's not taking a final. My mom as back up for my husband. And my sister, the nurse, to tell me what's actually going on.

Do you think you'll need a c-section? This is a weird question...why would anyone want a c-section...it's more high risk. Anyways no I don't think I will. And. Don't want to be induced either.

Will you cry? Probably

What will you say? I will be speechless.

Who will help you with the baby? Hopefully no one. I'm sure i can do everything myself. Maybe someone should feed Chase but other than that...privacy please! 

What's your favorite thing about being pregnant? Feeling him move! And day dreaming.

What's the worst thing about being pregnant? Putting on shoes.

What do you miss doing since being pregnant? Sitting still.

Are you ready for the baby? Well we have a car seat and a bassinet ready. So the bare minimum is ready. Hopefully more will fall into place soon.

Do you still feel attractive? Heck yeah I'm a hot mama already.

Have you had a baby shower? One down one to go.

How far along are you? 34 weeks. 6 to go. Can't wait!
