1. Caroline
2. 6/18/05 Loyola Highschool and Celebrations at the Bay
3. 4 Kids (Madison, Cameron, Charlotte, and Lucy)
4. First 2 Pregnancies: everything was perfect except for some late-stage pregnancy. Twin Pregnancy: I am happy that I was able to carry to term and that they were both a good size.
5. I was huge with all three pregnancies because my kids were so big at birth. I was all belly which made me stick out in a crowd and caused lots of comments, whispers and stares. Twin pregnancy was rough for the last trimester. Swelling, lots of visits to the OB, exhaustion, etc..
6. We always discussed 2-3 kids. We ended up with 4 kids. The uterus had a BOGO deal. 4 and no more!
7. I like to try new places. VOLT is pretty fabulous!
8. Rehobeth to see the in-laws, Deep Creek Lake, and OBX

4. Name on thing you love/d about your pregnancy? I really love being pregnant so far. The first 18 weeks weren't fabulous what with the constant nausea and all, but I know it could have been so much worse, so I can't complain too much! And now 2nd tri has been a breeze. I have hardly any symptoms and I actually feel better about the way my body looks than I have in years. We'll see what 3rd tri brings in a couple weeks
5. Name one thing you hate/d about your pregnancy? The nausea in the beginning was rough, but manageable.
6. How many children did you want before becoming pregnancy? And now? I wanted 2, maybe 3 and that's still what I want. Pretty sure DH will cut me off at 2 though (or we will be financially cut off at 2).
7. What's your favorite special occasion place to dine out? Melting Pot I guess.
8. Any vacation plans for the summer? No. We will be traveling to PA for my sister's wedding over July 4th weekend with our LO along for the ride, but we don't have any other trips planned.
9. Favorite baby names? If you want to share. We have chosen a name for our son, but it's a secret! It's a little uncommon, so I'm expecting some side-eyes, but I don't care - we LOVE it. Our top girl names (before we found out its a boy) were Leah and Annabelle.BFP#1: 01/10, M/C 6w
