Preggy Meme

Yeah, yeah, but there really is not much else going on with me!

Picked up from a preggy blog - she's at 35 weeks and just been belly-rubbed by a stranger... oy.

Me

• How did you find out you were pregnant? Well, my period was 2 weeks late, and I was taking home pregnancy tests.


• What kind of Pregnancy test did you take? A pee-onna-stick one?


• How many? That month? One every few days from shortly before my period due date. So, um, about 4 in total?


• What were your 1st symptoms? Missing my period.


• Who was with you when you found out? I was alone in the bathroom, but Milord was in the house...


• My 1st reaction: "Aha. Right. Ooookay then, here goes!"


• Who did you tell first? Milord


• Their 1st reaction: "Oh shit!" (he's still in trouble for this)


• Was your baby planned? Yes, very.


• When was the baby conceived? Wednesday December 17th. I pounced on Milord straight after work before he could pour a glass of wine ;-). He thought it was a spontaneous sex attack, but it was very pre-meditated!


• How far were you when you found out? 20 days.


• How did your parents react? Thrilled.

My baby

• Due Date: 13 September 2009.


• Do you know the sex? Yes, a girl.


• Any names? Yes. ... *crickets* ... no we're not telling!


• Any Ultrasounds? 3 so far, one at 8 weeks, one at 13 weeks and one at 19 weeks. I'll need one more to check my placenta soon.


• Have you heard the heart beat? Yes.


• Who do you think it will look like? Me hopefully. I don't think Milord's features would suit a girl!


• Will the baby have siblings? Eventually, with luck.


• Have you felt the baby move? Oh boy, have I!

Miscellaneous

• Did you have any cravings? Not really, except a crazy need for salt at the start of my second trimester.


• Did you have any mood swings? No.


• Are you a high risk pregnancy? No.


• Any complications? No.


• Formula or Breastfeeding? I'll give breast a huge attempt, but I won't beat myself up about it if we don't get it right.


• Have you bought anything for the baby yet? Yes, most of the big things.


• When did you start to show? I say at 13 weeks. My friends say at 6 weeks, but they're just being mean about my fat roll!


• How long could you wear your regular clothes? I had to get out of normal trousers at 13 weeks. See above.


• Will you keep the baby’s clothes? What do you mean by "keep"? If you mean as a souvenier, then no. Hang on to for the next one, yes.


• Home or Hospital? Hospital. I'm a scaredy cat.


• Natural or Medicated birth? Epidural. Epidural. Epidural! (see above)


• Who will be in the delivery room with you? Milord and a few medical staff I guess.


• Do you think you will need a C-section? Hope not.

• What’s the 1st thing you might say to the baby? "About bloody time!"


• Will you let anyone video tape the birth? No. Effing. Way. ew


• Are you excited? Yes. Not jumping-up-and-down excited, but that could be because I'm so darn tired!


• Who will help you with the baby after the birth? Milord will take a couple of weeks off work, and then after that I'll be flying solo. I wish my family was closer.


• What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? The baby at the end of it?


• What is the worst thing about being pregnant? Being so weary.


• What’s one thing you miss doing since being pregnant? The one thing? The ONE thing? Geez.

• Are you ready for a baby? You betcha.


• Do you have insurance? Yes.

• Do you still feel attractive? Beautiful, yes. Attractive, no. I hope to meet up with my mojo again at the other side of this.


• Have you had your baby shower yet? No. I'm not sure what's happening with this. I had a friend offer to organise one, but she's said nothing since... is it rude to remind her?
