I wanted to remember everything about my first little one since now we are on number two!! Crazy how time flies!
And yes Alexis I did copy this off your blog and I was going to leave it just the way it was, same answers and pictures, but I thought people might figure out it wasn't Kaylee....who knows maybe not, but I changed it just to be sure :)
1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED?: Not really. I had just run out of BC while in Sacramento on vacation and went right home to Rexburg to get more....well little did we know that someone had different plans for us.
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME?: Yep, we had just celebrated our 2 year anniversary!
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS?: Shane was just grinning ear to ear like an idiot and for the first few minutes my eyes were like a deer caught in the headlights! Somehow it ended with Shane having to run to WallyWorld to buy 3 more tests to "make sure," ( I was in major denial). After the 4th test, mind you I still couldn't say the word pregnant for a few days, but I was getting excited and Shane started talking in his scary low voice to my belly right away telling the baby to either have a penis or grow one!
5. HOW OLD WERE YOU?: 22
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT?:
7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST?: Katie. Sorry Mom! So I texted her with;
ME: "Hey what if you marry "Bob" (names have been changed because he was an idiot) and I was pregnant."
KATIE: "haha you're random."
ME: "What if I wasn't so random and you understood what I was saying."
I then got a phone call with a lot of yelling and excited screaming!
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX?: Heck Yes!! We are both too impatient to wait 9 months!
9. DUE DATE?: June 6, 2007
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS?: Yea, but I never threw up. I just always felt so nauseous almost like car sickness. I guess it was nice not to be throwing up a lot, but sometimes I wish I could just so I could have some relief. It really wasn't that bad though. I was pretty blessed!
11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE?: Spicy Dill pickles
12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST?: I can't totally remember. I was substitute teaching when I was 8 months pregnant and let me tell you how irritating high school boys were...well any boys I substitute taught for that matter. It also irritated me to get dressed because I NEVER felt cute!
13. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX?: GIRL duh
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING?: Not really because I only have one brother so I don't know what to do with boys. I thought Shane might be a little sad because he had said since the beginning that he wanted a boy but he was SO excited to find out we were having a girl!
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN?: Honestly like 35 pounds
16. DID YOU HAVE BABY SHOWERS?: YES :) I had one in Utah when my family came up for Spring break with family and friends. It was so nice! Then I had a shower and a blessing shower (or something like that-I don't remember the name) planned in Sacramento, but instead I ended up having Kaylee 3 weeks early....so we had an open house shower with Kaylee a month after!
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW?: I knew about all of them
Sacramento Shower
18.DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY?: Just constant heartburn....I was popping tums like they were candy and in the end I didn't even get a baby with "TONS" of hair like the myth says!
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH?: The GHETTO...I mean Oakland California at Highland Hospital.
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME?: Yep, we had just celebrated our 2 year anniversary!

20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR?: It felt like 5 years! My water broke at midnight and I had Kaylee at 3:17 pm. It was NOT something I like to remember because I have put it in the books as "horrible-not likely to happen again-rare!" Although everything went weird and Kaylee was rushed to the NICU and we didn't get to see her for like 3 hours let alone hold her until the next day we have a beautiful, happy and HEALTHY little girl now so it all worked out for the best in the end.

This post is so cute! :) I learned so much!
I love this idea. I might just have to steal the idea. Sorry. But it was nice to get to hear a bit about how your 1st came to pass! :)

Hi Shara! Sorry to bug you but Crystal told me you had an interesting first labor...I am curious because I saw your little girl was in the NICU when she was born...so was Chloe. We just had her a little over a month ago, and she was also rushed to the NICU. She was black and blue when she came out, and limp. I am just curious about your labor and delivery because I have been struggling with the whole "is she gonna be okay?" thing. I see that Kaylee is happy and healthy, but I am hoping maybe someone went through a similar situation because I want something good to hold on to. Anyway, sorry this comment is so long.
