1: A picture of you and 5 facts.
- Ice cream has been my favorite dessert since I was little... and I doubt it will ever change
- I'm a night owl... I love to stay up late. I absolutely cannot go to bed before 1030...its like a mental block that won't even let me get ready for bed before then.
- My husband is the light of my life... my rock, sole confidante, and my favorite person to tease and bug :-)
- I love naps!
2: A picture of the father and 5 facts.
- He was raised in Salina Utah
- Has a child-like passion for legos
- The greatest (frivolous) gift someone could give him would be a ride in an actual rocket/space shuttle.
- Served his mission in Brazil and loves it when people surprise him with Brazilian food. (Passion fruit Mousse is his favorite dessert we can find locally)
- He loves being married more than anything else. He says he's never been happier in his life.
3: Do you know the day you conceived?
- Not for sure... ;-) There were many opportunities....
4: How did you find out you were expecting?
We'd been planning on a baby for a while now. So it was really just a waiting game with several pee strips. I got tired of being disappointed so I waited until a set day to test. (Dec 2nd) If I didn't have my period by then, I was officially late. I had spent the week feeling funny... hungry, then I'd eat and be nauseous So I wasn't surprised when I got the positive strip. It was still exciting though to have proof that I wasn't feeling weird for no reason!
5: What trimester are you in, and how do you feel?
I am 27 weeks so I'm in the very last week of my second trimester. I feel pretty good! My only complaints are when I'm hungry... I do get tired easier and naps are my best friend. My last complaint is I swear that child of mine digs a toe into something by my right hip bone...that kinda hurts. Is he trying to give me appendicitis?
6: Baby’s first picture. A picture of your first ultrasound.
7: What is your biggest food craving?
Haha... the most recent being lemon filled somethings! Doughnuts, lemon bars, lemon cream pie.... I really miss those lemon pies that hostess used to make. Although there is a suitable knock-off brand at Maverick that suffices. The odd thing...? I never cared that much for lemon before...
8: A picture of your baby bump, and how you feel about your look.
Excited to be showing a bump... though I'm not overly comfortable with how I look from a camera standpoint.
9: THE BABY SHOWER! What do you plan for? Hope for?
I'm not planning a baby shower :) I know my mom and mom inlaws are planning on giving one. I just think it will be fun to celebrate the new baby coming. :) And I like presents!
10: How did you tell your parents the big news? The dad?
For the telling of the parents.... read it here Jeremy wanted to be told simply with not a lot of fanfare and surprise. I brought the test strip up...gave him a kiss and told him that we were expecting. It was quiet but very poignant.
11: How are you preparing for the baby?
Not very well. I've made a baby blanket for him and in the process of knitting one as well. One of Jeremy's co-workers suggested stocking up on diapers so we have one box of diapers :). Other than that I think we'll wait until after the baby showers to start seriously preparing.
12: A picture of a baby who you feel your baby will resemble.
Just like us!!!
13: Who will help you the most when your baby is here?
I expect Jeremy will be sticking around to help. We're currently saving enough PTO for him so he can take a week or so off when the baby comes. I'm not sure if any family will be staying to help. With everyone so far away it'd be a big sacrifice.
14: Who will be in the delivery room with you?
Jeremy of course... maybe my mom if she wants to be
15: What are you looking forward to most about being a mother?
I'm not sure. I'm excited to hold him and count the toes and fingers. I look forward to seeing my husband become a Dad and my parents grandparents. I look forward to being called mama (though that is a long way off!) I'm excited to see my little one smile...and know he is smiling because his mother his holding him
