I'm left-handed. I am fluent in French. I lived in France for a year. My hair turned purple when I tried to dye it while pregnant. I've been through three divorces in my lifetime, none of them mine. I have a salty tooth; not a sweet one. Sometimes I pass out for no reason.

8- I have double jointed pinky fingers

1. I married my high school sweetheart. He was the only guy I ever dated and our first kiss was when he proposed.
2. I know this is probably very confusing, but I either want a 100% natural birth or a 100% pre-planned scheduled c-section. I am just really terrified of getting induced and having an emergency section.
3. I can eat a whole bag of goldfish in one (long) sitting, and I have several times.
4. My favorite job ever was selling merchandise at Beauty and the Beast on Broadway when I lived in NYC.

8. I am so proud of my nursery, even though I am fully awar that DD won't sleep there right away and it is totally more for me than for her :-)
9. When we first found out we were pregnant, we were living at my parents for 5 months. Even though it was not ideal, it was not a bad experience and actually strengthened our relationship with them.

7) I was always a cat person until we adopted our bunny. I'll never go back.

9) I love a dirty gin martini with extra olives.
10) I have a job where I test blood, urine, stool, and other various body fluids and I love it. I especially love when we get bones or organs, the grosser the better!

2. I do NOTHING all day until about 1-2hr before DH gets home then I do a ton so I don't feel as guilty.

2. my ears are unevenly positioned on my head, and i have to bend the side pieces to get them to fit to look even on my face.
3. when i see a number sequence (on a license plate or checking acct #, etc) i immediately start rearranging them, adding them, and trying to get to a single number. it's just weird.
4. i do not balance my checkbook, but i know within $5 at all times how much we have in our checking acct at any given moment.
5. i co-own a business, and am looking to get my real estate license to add to my repertoire.
6. i CANNOT wait to have this baby! i HATE being pregnant, and I really want a beer.
7. my dh is pretty much my complete opposite- a rocker musician w/a goatee, mohawkesque hair style, alternative religious/political points of view (although we're more similar on these than apart), dreamer, etc. me-business woman, traditionalesque hairstyle, realist.
8. i would love to get back into writing (had a successful past w/it) but have become super afraid of rejection and it inhibits me from even trying- i know PATHETIC
9. i have never pooped or pissed my pants, but this pregnancy has me concerned that i will be able to maintain this.
10. i also hate the word "moist" and "sanitary napkin". They make me want to puke a little in my mouth.
3. I have been with my husband for almost 6 years, but married for less than 2years
4. I ate hot sauce on everything pre-preg. Now I cant because I get hb
5. I had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance a month ago, I hade a migraine that made my face and arm paralyzed and I thought I was having a stroke. That was embarassing.

2. I traveled to Italy on a 3 week exchange program while in high school. I loved it so much but wish I had emersed myself more.
3. I was part of the NYS State Bowling championship team my freshman year of high school. Yep, dork!
4. I have had gray hair since I was a kid...1 streak that I tried desperately to get rid of. Now I still have the streak, but there are many other grays to keep it company!
5. I have been to Jamaica 2 times and can't wait to go back!

3. I have 2 tattoos, both have something to do with turtles. I hope to get another one with my babies name sometime in the future.
4. I love gummy things. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner.
5. I gained 70lbs with my first pregnancy and so far only 10lbs with this pregnancy. I am very proud of myself, but I should mention I never lost much of the weight from my first so after delivery I will be at about the same weight. UGH!
6. Having a boy scares me. I always wanted only boys until I got pregnant with my first. Now the thought of having a boy makes me freak. I guess I have to get used to it.
7. My son still doesn't have a name.
8. My marriage actually got better after having a child. Most people say it puts a strain on their marriage, but we got closer and our love is stronger now then ever.
9. I pee my pants everyday. I have the bladder of a 6 month old/90 year old.
10. My life is nothing like I expected it to be....it is 100x better. I am very blessed.

1. I am VERY sarcastic and if you dont know me you will probably think I am the meanest person alive
2. I am 23 and this is my second baby and I switched hospitals for her delivery because the first one wouldnt let me get fixed due to their religious affliations.

1.) I've moved 8 times in my life....and we recently just moved to Colorado. Hoping we are here for good!
2.) Although I graduated from school once, I decided to go back to school a few years ago to earn a second degree in what I thought was my passion. It's been 3 years and I'm almost finished...and all the sudden with the baby on the way, switching careers seems and feels like a horrible idea. the problem is, if I don't use this degree, we will have wasted thousands and thousands of dollars and I'll feel horrible...
3.) I have to study all day today and all day tomorrow and I am dreading it like you wouldn't believe.
4.) I have a cat and a dog whom I love dearly. I am terribly afraid they'll be forgotten about when I go into labor, and even more afraid they'll be sad when we bring the baby home.
5.) Despite a 100% normal pregnancy, I worry daily about what *could* be wrong with the baby. It's very weird as I have nothing to worry about, and even if there was something wrong, I couldn't do anything about it.

8.) I'm not working for the first time in my life and I feel horrible guilty about it. Sure, I'm taking 4 classes...but still....I feel badly that I'm not contributing financially.
9.) I'm obsessed with peanut butter. I can only buy the all-natural kind because otherwise, I could probably eat the jar in one sitting. JIF is my worst enemy!
10.) I have had such intense lower back pain for the last few days, I walk around like a hunch-back. I probably should call the doctor but am convinced it's kind of normal at this point...?

7. My husband makes me laugh more than anyone I know.

1. I wear socks that don't match. All the time. On purpose.
2. I didn't have a drink until I was 21.
3. I think reading is fun.
4. The Dog Whisperer is my hero
5. I'm originally from Georgia but lived in Alaska for 3 years and absolutely loved it. I can't wait to go back.
6. Doctors told me I probably couldn't get pregnant (endometriosis combined with husband's testicular cancer) and it happened 1 month after DH finished chemo and 2 months after we stopped using any BC.
7. My husband is my best friend. No contest. I feel incomplete without him and am madly in love with him.
8. I am afraid of ducks. I think they can sense my fear because they chase me.
9. I've always wanted to be a mom and just assumed I would love being pregnant, but I can't stand it.
1. I married my high school sweetheart and first serious boyfriend.
2. I'm deathly afraid of needles. Like, hyperventilating, fist throwing if I can't flee afraid of needles. But I'm not afraid of the epidural.
3. I have three broken ribs on my left side from a track injury my freshman year of high school.
4. I've been to Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, and Holland.
5. I grew up in South Jersey and followed my hubby and his parents to KY. I hate it here and he knows it.
6. I'm secretly hoping that Cadie comes on March 3rd. It's our dating anniversary that we don't celebrate any more and it's right in between our birthdays.
7. I am a huuuuge Phillies fan (duh!). I worked for them for 2 years and my grandpop has worked for them for over 10 years. Our spare room is completely decked out in Phillies and I wouldn't have it any other way!
8. I am a Broadway musical nut.
9. I am a suburban child at heart, but if I had to move to a city, it'd be Nashville hands down.

2. Despite what I just wrote above, I am extremely sarcastic and judgmental... most people that don't know me think I'm a total ***.
3. I was convinced I couldn't get pregnant, and should be one of those people that savor every minute of pregnancy...but really, it's annoying and I'm ready for it to be over.
4. LOST is the best show ever, hands down, no contest. The Office comes in at a close second. Also, I'll think less of you if you say you don't like either show.
5. My stepson and I are so similar, I swear I could've birthed him myself.
6. I secretly pray that my daughter looks nothing like I did as a child.

9. I've lived in South Florida for a year and only been to the beach here twice.

1. I'm new to The Bump, I'm still trying to get used to it.
2. This will be my first baby and my husband's second, and I'm absolutely terrified that he won't love LO as much as he loves his daughter. Dumb, I know.
3. My blood pressure is so low that the last time I was in the ER, the monitor wouldn't pick it up and technician thought I had died.
4. I was born with both of my hips displaced, and I'm nervous that LO will have the same problem.
5. DH and I have known each other since my freshman year, over seven years ago, but we hated each other all through high school. Luckily that changed.
6. I am terrified of needles, but I love getting tattooed.
7. I am such a cat person, while my DH loves dogs. We get into arguments about this all the time, because his dog is a demon that tears up everything [including baby hats that were in a closed drawer] and he just cleans up after her without disciplining her at all, even if we catch her.

9. I wish I could have learned to play the violin when I was younger.

6. I love hiking and beac combing and plan on spending the next summer outdoors more than indoors and I think it will be a blast doing this with two kids (even if one is still tiny).
7. I have a love/hate relationship with BFing. I love that it is cheaper than FFing and that it has a load of health benefits (which I've seen with DD), but hate how tied down I feel the first few months. And I'm worried I won't remember how to BF and that I'll have the same issues getting started (had plenty of milk, but my DD wouldn't latch properly)
8. I am no longer interested in anything other than going into labor, which makes it difficult to concentrate at work
9. I haven't had any alcohol since a month before I got pregnant with DD #1 and am not missing it, really. However, I am a HUGE Dr. Pepper fan and stopped drinking when I got pregnant again. I had my first DP the other day and now I want one all the time.
10. I am addicted to Bejeweled on FB, but mostly because my husband keeps challenging me to beat his score. Every time I do, he plays until he beats me and then the competition starts again. I'm such a lame person

1.) I've moved 8 times in my life....and we recently just moved to Colorado. Hoping we are here for good!
2.) Although I graduated from school once, I decided to go back to school a few years ago to earn a second degree in what I thought was my passion. It's been 3 years and I'm almost finished...and all the sudden with the baby on the way, switching careers seems and feels like a horrible idea. the problem is, if I don't use this degree, we will have wasted thousands and thousands of dollars and I'll feel horrible...

8.) I'm not working for the first time in my life and I feel horrible guilty about it. Sure, I'm taking 4 classes...but still....I feel badly that I'm not contributing financially.
9.) I'm obsessed with peanut butter. I can only buy the all-natural kind because otherwise, I could probably eat the jar in one sitting. JIF is my worst enemy!
10.) I have had such intense lower back pain for the last few days, I walk around like a hunch-back. I probably should call the doctor but am convinced it's kind of normal at this point...?
