6. What features (physical) do you hope your LO gets from DH/SO?
His eyesight and straight teeth.
I really hope LO has my eyesight. The first time I saw DH wearing the oh so sexy BCGs I literally burst into tears from laughing so hard at him. I'm awful but he looked like a bug.
1. What has been the best thing about your pregnancy? My huge belly. I've been pretty lucky since that's the ONLY place I've gained weight, and I look very obviously pregnant.
2. What has been the worst thing about your pregnancy? Stretch marks. I didn't get them until the end of the seventh month, and I thought I was out of the woods. No such luck.
3. What are you most looking forward to about not being pregnant? Drinking a huge freaking margarita and eating a big plate of sushi.
4. What is/was your biggest L&D fear/concern? That something will go wrong and I'll have to have an emergency C-section.
5. What features (physical) do you hope your LO gets from you? Well, I already know by the ultrasound pics that baby has my big Italian nose! hahaha. Other than that, I hope LO gets my eyes. They're a very deep olive green, and I've always loved the color.
6. What features (physical) do you hope your LO gets from DH/SO? His skin tone. He has medium light skin but never burns and always tans. I have ridiculously pale skin and I burn very easily.
7. What is your favorite gift that you have received for baby? A stuffed dragon, from my violin teacher's wife. My teacher, who was one of the most important people in my life, died unexpectedly last summer. We always had an inside "dragon" joke, and we would always give each other dragon items on birthdays or when we returned home from trips. As soon as I opened the present up at my shower I burst into tears.
8. What item that you have received/bought is the most frivolous? Definitely the baby spa shower/bath. It was a gift from my mom, and while I think it's adorable, it's definitely frivolous!
9. What brand of bottles will you use? Not 100% sure yet, but probably EvenFlo.
10. Do you have a boppy or a my brest friend (or neither)? I still want to get a my brest friend, I've heard good things about them.
11. Are you going to use pacifiers? Yes
12. What's your opinion (if you have one) on the book "Babywise"? Haven't read it, so I can't offer an opinion.

I'm way too tired and lazy to do this separately so I'll answer them all together:
1. What has been the best thing about your pregnancy?
Right now I'm so done with pregnancy that I can't really answer that, except I guess that I'm really happy that its been very normal and fairly easy- with the exception of morning sickness and such.
2. What has been the worst thing about your pregnancy?
Morning sickness was awful, a bruised rib isn't fun, being so tired and dizzy. and lately I can't sleep at all and I can't stop crying.
3. What are you most looking forward to about not being pregnant?
Being able to breathe and hopefully sleep- even though I know I'll have a little baby to look after.
4. What is/was your biggest L&D fear/concern?
Not really knowing where I'm going to be and what to expect pain wise. I want to give birth at home but I hope we can move and unpack a bit before that happens.
5. What features (physical) do you hope your LO gets from you?
My mouth and hair?
6. What features (physical) do you hope your LO gets from DH/SO?
Eyes (colour at least) and nose.
7. What is your favorite gift that you have received for baby?
A hand knitted sweater/hat set, a velvety bunny and a handmade abc animal quilt.
8. What item that you have received/bought is the most frivolous?
A wooden, vintage potty - although they're useful, I totally didn't need this huge wooden chair potty. Also maybe that seahorse toy but I know those are useful. So I guess we haven't really bought anything frivolous.
9. What brand of bottles will you use?
I'm hoping not to use bottles, so I'm not really sure.
10. Do you have a boppy or a my brest friend (or neither)?
No...are these like breastfeeding pillows?
11. Are you going to use pacifiers?
No.
12. What's your opinion (if you have one) on the book "Babywise"?
1. What has been the best thing about your pregnancy?
I have a way more positive body image right now, strangely enough. I used to obsess about my hips and thighs, but now I now everyone is just looking at the belly!
Re: Let's do some more Q&A
9. What brand of bottles will you use?
I have some Tommee Tippee, Playtex Drop-ins, and Dr. Browns. Hopefully one of those three kinds will work.
