  • Are you going to breast feed?:  Yes, assuming all goes well!  I plan on doing everything within my power to make that happen
    Are you going to have an Epi?:  I'm having a c-section
    Who will be in your delivery room:  DH
    What significance does your baby's name have?:  Haven't decided on names yet but our boy middle name will be DH's middle name which is after his grandfather and also has special meaning to me because it is the same name as a very dear friend of mine.  The rest of our names are just because we like them.
    Did you LOATHE doing your glucose test?:  I'll take it next Thursday but frankly I'm looking forward to the orange drink.  I LOVE McDonald's orange drink and I keep hearing it is just like that
    Are you cloth diapering?:  Nope
    Do you have any complaints about your baby shower?:  Well my first one had over 150 people at it (not my choice) and made me uncomfortable.  I'm also a little uncertain about this third one I'm having.  Three just seems to be way too many for me.  I'm not really a shower girl.  I hate the theme of the second shower being thrown for me but would never say anything.  The theme is Noah's Ark which is annoying to me because I worked in a church sometimes I just want something normal that doesn't revolved around the Bible (I know that sounds horrid right?  I just feel like every time there is an event for me people feel the need to connect it to the Bible because I'm religious)
    Will you be a SAHM?:  Yes
    Are you married to your baby's daddy?:  happily so for three and a half years!
    If you qualify for WIC will you be signing up for it?: 
    What things have you done since BFP that a Preg "shouldn't" do?: 
    I'll eat tuna every once in a while
    Who will cut the cord?:  my doctor
    Are you having an Elective C-Section?:  It's not elective, it's for medical reasons
    Have you gained weight during this pregnancy? If so how much?:  yes, 14 pounds
    What do you hate most about being pregnant?:  all of the unsolicitated advice
    Was this baby a plan or a surprise?:  Funny question.  We had been trying and trying to get pregnant but was told it won't happen for us so we started to adopt.  I got pregnant halfway through the adoption process.  So technically this was a surprise pregnancy but it was very much wanted.  We are so grateful for the blessing of a pregnancy experience.
    If/When you have a boy will you curcumcise him?:  yes
    If/When you have a girl will you pierce her ears sooner or later or not at all?:  I'll allow her to pierce her ears in first or second grade.  My mom allowed me to get mine done for Kindergarten but I feel like that was a year or two too early.

    What significance does your baby's name have?: DF plays guitar and he learned to play Andy Mckee's song "Rylynne" for me because it was my favorite. It just has a lot of meaning to us and Im pretty sure the night I concieved he was serenading me on the porch and well one thing led to another! So I changed the spelling because I didnt like the double 'y'


    too funny! Rylynn has been on our name list ever since we first heard that song like, 2 years ago! :)
