Ok, so my friend Melissa just did this for her sweet 2 month old Lucas and I thought it would be fun to do for Sammy, since he just turned 1! I will have to do it again in 3 or 4 months, though when our little girl arrives, too so everyone can find out the juicy details we tend to forget to tell everyone! Anyone who would like to do this for their baby/infant/toddler/kids is welcome to!!
Remember, this is for Sammy:
1- Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
In our apartment in Washington
2- Who was with you?
Robert3- How did you find out that you were pregnant?
I did a home pregnancy test. Then, I didn't trust it, so I went out and bought two other kinds and tried them, but they all read the same (to my relief)
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
"I'm so excited it finally happened!"
5- Who was the first person you told?
We told our moms because it was Mother's Day and thought it would be a great present
6-Did you plan to get pregnant?
Yes, we had been trying for two or three months7-Was everybody happy for you?
Yes, everyone was excited
8- Did you go out and celebrate?
Not really9- Did you want to find out the sex?
Of course!!
10- What was the sex?
Well, they first told us it was a girl, but then at the end of the ultrasound, he came out of hiding and we were so thrilled it was a boy!! (we both kinda wanted a boy first)
11-Did anyone throw you a baby shower?
Yes
12- If yes, who?
My visiting teacher at the time
13- Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you just knew you weren't going to put on your baby?
No, I got all cute and adorable stuff
14- How much weight did you gain?
Do I really have to tell? Ok, well, I think it was around 30-40 pounds, but I wasn't sure on my weight before I got preggo because I had been going up and down...
15- Did you lose all of the weight that you gained?
Unfortunately, no. I got preggo again before I could lose it all, which means I will have that much more to lose after this one! Grrr!

Yes, I have very irritable skin

I craved sugar18- Did you crave anything crazy?
Not really, I would just see something and then HAVE to have it, like caramels, ice cream, and starbursts for example
19- Who or what got on your nerves the most?

So up to this point, Sammy has managed only to give himself some bumps and bruises, but today marks the first of (I'm sure) many self-inflicted injuries. It isn't really bad, but Sammy was walking around holding one of those thought for each day books and fell with the book in hand, jabbing himself just under the eye and making himself bleed and will probably have a black eye tomorrow! What can I say? Boys will be boys!
