The Mommy Survey

Here you go mommies - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about your first born! Just leave me a comment if you decide to post on your own blog so I can check it out.

Let's see how much you remember!

1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? Yes

2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes

3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Excited!

4. WAS ABORTION AND OPTION FOR YOU? No since I was in a loving relationship, but if it would have been a different situation, it could have been an option. People have to make tough choices and I would never judge.

5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 27

6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? I was late and then took a test (well took several) just to be sure.

7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? Brian, my husband and then we call family.

8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? yes, but the little bugger wouldn't show the goods on the first try. We had to go back another time to find out.

9. DUE DATE? April 22, 2003

10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? no, but I had horrendous heartburn that made me ill.
