5. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? I had been at Clinique school and was feeling flu like symptoms. I told my educator that she had better sit me close to the door because I have been throwing up a lot! I told everybody to stay away from me cause they didn't want what I got!! In days before the school, I just couldn't seem to get enough sleep! I was sleeping for 16 hours and STILL feeling so tired! When I came home from school, Brody was doing some house work( cause I hadn't been keeping up on it) and he had brought home a prego test for me. I told him he was nuts because we were told we couldn't get pregnant on our own. So I was kind of mad at him for setting me up with another disappointment! Sure enough, I did it and the test was POSITIVE!! We didn't believe it so we went to the hospital and had a blood test!! The doc said for sure positive! It was the best day :)

14. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? A blasted 35!!!! I still need to lose about another 10!
15. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? Kind of a funny story! I had my first baby shower at my moms house on May 3. That was when the placenta abruption happened. I was rushed to the hospital right in the middle of the shower. I was on bed rest in the hospital, so all the rest of my showers were cancelled :( We rescheduled them after she was born.
16. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew
17. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? YES! Of course the abruption which causes the placenta to pull away from the uterus, which causes you to bleed! So a month of bed rest was not very fun! Then I started to get toxemia, so my doctor decided to start me and deliver the baby at 37 weeks! It was scary, but she was just fine!!!
18. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? St. Marks Hospital
19. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? I had a 14 hour labor! But my placenta dropped down and I was going to deliver that first before the baby, so they had to take me in and do an emergency C- section! They had her out in like 10 minutes!!!
