About Your Pregnancy
Is this your first pregnancy?: Our second, we lost our Brent in February at 22 weeks.
When did you find out you were pregnant?: I was about 4 weeks.
Was it planned?: Yes and we had a lot of fun trying!
What was your first reaction?: I thought I was seeing things, but then Bobby came home and confirmed that there was another line there, then we were really happy and excited!
Who was with you when you found out?: I was by myself.
Who was the first person you told?: I called my mom and then emailed her a picture of the test so she could see.
How did your parents react?: They are very excited and ready to be grandparents!
How far along are you?: 4 weeks, 5 days.
What was your first symptom?: Nothing really. I made an appointment at the obgyn because of irregular bleeding 2 weeks before my period was due. I decided to test the night before my appointment and low and behold... a BFP!
What is your due date?: April 28th, 2009
Do you know the sex of the baby?: No, and it doesn't really matter. We wanted a boy first, but after all that's happened we really just want a healthy baby. :o)
Have you picked out names?: Not yet.
How much weight have you gained?: Nothing yet, it's a bit too soon.
Do you have stretch marks?: I have some left on my breasts from Brent, but none anywhere else. I plan to slather myself down everyday with cocoa butter though!
Have you felt the baby move?: It's way to early for that yet...
Have you heard the heartbeat?: Not yet, hopefully in about 2 or 3 weeks though!

About the birth
Will you keep the baby?: Of course.
Home or hospital birth?: Hospital
Natural or medicated birth?: Medicated, I have nothing to prove, lol.
Who will be in the delivery room with you?: Bobby and maybe my mom. I might be screaming for her in midst of labor, lol.
Will you breastfeed?: I plan on it.
Do you think you'll need a c-section?: I hope not, but if I do then it'll be okay because it won't ruin my vagina!
Will you cry when you hold the baby for the first time?: Most definately.
What's the first thing you might say to him/her?: Welcome to the world and I love you.
Would you let someone videotape the birth?: Not the birth, but maybe in the recovery room after the birth.
Are you excited about the birth, or scared?: Probably both. I never really got to experience a real birth with the whole pushing and all that. When Brent was born they gave me medicine to start labor and he came out still in the placenta bag, and he was only 1 pound, so not a whole lot of effort was needed...
