The importance of health and exercise; Loving and respecting yourself and who you are (body image, any gender/sex issues that may come up in the future, etc); Loving and respecting others and their lifestyles (I am particularly thinking of LGBT community here, but there are other choices people will make that my son should learn to respect as well)
Dream-dream vacation: when I am finished having kids and they are old enough to remember and enjoy it, I would like to rent an RV and take a month driving across the country and seeing all the touristy stuff.
Realistic-dream: For our 30th birthdays, we were supposed to take a week at a resort in Vail or Breckenridge snowboarding. Well, life, so we didn't do it this year. Hoping to do it for our 31st. (I say "our" bc DH is only a month younger than I am).
What's your stance about bringing a baby to the movies? I never get out anymore.
I don't think you should bring babies to movies. They are too loud (the movies I mean) and I think they would be bad for sensitive little ears. Maybe I'm just old
Do you eat Chinese food? If so, what do you usually order?
yes: Lo mein, orange chicken, egg roll. We just went to a chinese buffet last week, though. I think I'll probably just go there from now on and eat #allthefood
if you could buy a gift for any bumpie who/what would it be?
My immediate thought is I would send flowers to amjoy because I'm still traumatized by her birth story. And did psychdoc have almost the same birth story? I know someone did. So I would send them flowers or an edible arrangement or something.
Do you like gardening?
If so, let's say you are growing some dill in your garden and it has begun to flower. Do you a) let it flower b) cut it off?
#afof
I do not like gardening. If dill were growing in the weeds in my backyard, I would have no idea. so I would c) google the answer and it would tell me to "harvest the entire plant" when it begins to flower in late spring.
Ooo! I thought of another bumpie for favs: I like @missgpsu, because I assume she went to Penn State (like me) and I love her DD's name. Also, I don't think I've ever seen her post anything mean towards anyone?

Also, I would send a babysitter to @ballygirl, because I can't imagine doing this with 2 babies. She's a rockstar.
I think it was about a month...maybe 3 weeks. We were going to wait longer, but we got real serious real fast...then waited 5 years to get married, lol.
Hmmm, I can see why you'd say that around the eyes, but really, IRL, he looks just like Dawson. It's the first thing my brother and his wife said when they met him. #tact
For $5 mil? Sure, but only if I could pick it and it could be small. None of that Mike Tyson shiz. If I had to let someone else choose, absolutely not.
Well, our last name starts with H, we conceived in a town with the initials NRH so DH thought it would be funny if we gave DS the initials NRH. We live in TX so Nolan Ryan is everywhere so I jokingly said, "how about Nolan Ryan?" We laughed, then both said, "no, but for realz, I like that name" and it stuck.
Which bumpie baby are you stealing? And are you voting for Hillary? Did someone already ask if you are R/D/I politically?
Bridget (sp?) bc she is so different from DS (an adorable tiny girl as opposed to a giant handsome boy) and bc as I said, love her name. I'm sure @missgpsu will not give her up, though
I do not know who I am voting for. I'm probably more conservative than some on this board...fiscally conservative, socially liberal.
What do you like/dislike about yourself? About DH?
I generally like myself, but I dislike that the way I say things can be taken offensively by people when I mean no offense. It has gotten me into trouble my whole life, and it is an incredibly difficult thing to change. I like that I am well educated.
About DH, I love his sense of humor, his generosity, and that he just "gets" me (see above, not everyone "gets" me). I guess I would prefer if he were a little more cautious like me? But I think two of me in the same house would be too much, so I probably wouldn't even change that.

FTR, I currently have no tattoos.
FTR, his middle name is not Ryan.

None, unless my kid or my pets are in them doing something cute.
Oh, and also when I was pregnant, bump pics to send to my MIL.
