Who did you tell first? My husband

Who was with you when you found out? I was alone

My 1st reaction: A weird calmness!

Any names? Between Chyles, Sloane and Piper for girl and Felix and Titus for a boy

Any Ultrasounds? One @ 10 wks, one @ 21 wks, and no more unless something's wrong

Have you heard the heart beat? Every appointment we hear it. First time @ 9 1/2 weeks.

Who do you think it will look like? No clue. Brent's kids look a lot like him, so he must have dominant genes.

Will the baby have siblings? Two half-brothers

Have you felt the baby move? Yeah, I will never get tired of feeling it.

Did you have morning sickness? Not even one moment of it.

Are you a high risk pregnancy? Nope.

Any complications? Nope.

Formula or Breastfeeding? REALLY hoping to breastfeed.

Have you bought anything for the baby yet? Not really. Some diapers. I feel like a bad mom writing that!

Will you keep the babyâ??s clothes? Prob not.

Home or Hospital? Hospital. I was open to home birth but Brent was not.

Natural or Medicated birth? I REALLY hope I can go unmedicated, at least no epidural - I'm open to gas.

Who will be in the delivery room with you? Just my husband.

Do you think you will need a C-section? I doubt it - cases are rare with midwives.

Will you cry when you hold the baby for the 1st time? Oh I would imagine....

Whatâ??s the 1st thing you might say to the baby? No idea...."Hi lovebug"?

Will you let anyone video tape the birth? Undecided. If so, only Brent. But I think I'd rather have him to support/coach me.
