My 1st Baby!
Thank you Lindsey for tagging me! Lindsey is such a wonderful person. It's so easy to see what an amazing mommy she is to Ella Claire. She is a beautiful person inside and out. I can't help but think that when God looks at her life and how she lives it, he has to nod his head and think, now that one is following my lead, she has sought out on the exact path I chose for her.
Me and My First Baby

What were your reactions when you found out you were pregnant? Nervous and thankful...I had been told on more than one occasion that the chances of pregnancy were very slim. i have PCOS and rapid growing endometriosis.
How old were you? 24
How did you find out you were pregnant? I took a test just to keep my mind from wondering what if and my instincts were correct
Did you want to find out the gender? Yes, I don't know how people keep it a surprise. It would drive me crazy. We took our moms with us to find out and then went out to eat to celebrate.
Due date: April 27th
Did you deliver early or late? Late- April 29, 2008
Did you have morning sickness? All day sickness all throughout the pregnancy but after the first 3 months, I was very used to it. I'd step out of surgery, do my thing, wash up and jump back in.
