Baby Baby Baby!

Since I'm due in about seven weeks, I've been thinking a lot about labor and delivery. I thought it would be fun to post about my delivery with Canon. I saw this awhile ago and thought it was cute.

1. Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant? I guess in my apartment in Provo, but I didn't believe I was pregnant so I took about four different pregnancy tests (they were all positive) and then went to the doctor and took one. At the doctor was when I finally believed it was real.

2. Who was with you? Brandon was with each test. (He was so excited, and I was freaking out!)

3. What was your first reaction? I didn't believe it was real, and then once I believed it- I was overwhelmed and scared to death.

4. What was your husband's reaction? Brandon was sooo happy which was good since I was in shock.

5. Who was the first person you told? We told our parents first.

6. Was the pregnancy planned? Yes, but I didn't think it would happen so fast.

7. Was everyone happy for you? Yes!

8. What was the sex? Boy. I thought it was a boy the whole time, and I wanted a boy too. :)

9. Did anyone throw a shower for you? Yes, and showers are so helpful! My family and friends did.

10. Did you get any outfits you wouldn't use? No, but he did grow out of stuff so fast!

11. How much weight did you gain? 25 pounds

12. Did you get stretch marks? ...Um, yes. :(

13. Did you crave anything crazy? I don't remember craving anything, but I love ice cream.

14. Who or what got on your nerves the most? Hmmm... I really can't think of anything. I did think it was funny how many people came up to me and told me fool proof ways to make myself go into labor. Some of them were so crazy!

15. Where were you when you went into labor? Well, I started having contractions while I was at home, but they were painless but regular. So I went and took a final, and then Brandon and I went to the hospital to see if they would keep me.

16. Did you have any complications? No, everything went perfectly. I was very blessed.

17. Did your water break? They broke it for me.

18. Who drove you to the hospital? Brandon

19. Did you go early or late? Pretty much right on time. Canon was one day early.

20. Who was in the room? Brandon, the doctor, and the nurses.

21. Did you videotape it? We have some video after he came out.

22. Did you have any pain medication? Yes Yes Yes

23. Did you have a c-section or natural? Natural, c-sections scare me.

24. What was your reaction to the birth? It seemed like it happened so fast. It seemed unreal, but I was so excited and happy and relieved!

25. How big was the baby? 8 lbs. 6 oz and 21 inches

26. Did your husband cry? I didn't see him cry, but I know he was emotional.

27. When is the next one coming? The beginning of Feb., and I am ready!

28. If you could do it all over again, would you? Yes, Canon brings me so much joy. It is all worth it.
