BABY TAG!

I saw this on Ranee's blog, thought it was cute.

1. Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
Chris - Officially I was in the bathroom...I knew about 2 months before that though.
Ethan - Same except I knew about 1 month before.
Justin - Same

2.Who was with you?
Chris - Jon was in the bedroom
Ethan - Jon was in the bedroom
Justin - Jon was in the livingroom

3. How did you find out you were pregnant?
Chris - I just "felt pregnant"...try explaining that to your husband when your pregnancy test comes back negative. LOL
Ethan - Same, but not TOTALLY sure
Justin - I was just hoping so hard that I wasn't going to get too excited until I knew for sure.

4. What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
Chris - I hope Jon's not mad.
Ethan - I hope I can handle another, but YEAH!
Justin - Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

5. Your husband's reaction?
Chris - Are you sure?
Ethan - Oh, good.
Justin - Do you feel better now that you KNOW?
But he was happy with all of them. You should have seen him the first time he felt Chris kick. It was really cute.

6. Who was the first person you told?
Chris - Jon
Ethan - Jon
Justin - Jon

7. Did you plan to get pregnant?
Chris - One of us did, the other was just getting tired of hearing "I want a baby" I think, so he wasn't NOT trying...LOL
Ethan - Yes
Justin - Yes

8. Was everybody happy for you?
Chris - No
Ethan - Yes
Justin - Yes

9. Did you go out and celebrate?
Chris - I think we might have
Ethan - No
Justin - No

10. Did you want to find out the sex?
Chris - Yes, but I knew it was a boy.
Ethan - Yes, but I was pretty sure it was a boy
Justin - Yes, and it's a good thing we did 'cause I thought he was a girl.

11. What was the sex?
Chris - Boy
Ethan - Boy
Justin - Boy

12. Did anyone throw you a baby shower?
Chris - Yes
Ethan - No
Justin - He's not even born yet. How boring is a baby shower without a baby? (Except under special circumstances).

13. If yes who?
Chris - There were so many people in charge that I don't remember who was "in charge"

14. Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you knew you weren't going to put on your baby?
Chris - No, they were all very cute, I think people just know what I think it cute.

15. How much weight did you gain?
Chris - Honestly, I don't even know, I never look at the scales when I'm pregnant. The Dr. says "You're gaining just the right amount", "you're gaining too much" , or "you're not gaining enough" we don't do the number thing.
Ethan - Same
Justin - Same

16. Did you lose all the weight you gained?
Chris - I think I was close but then I got pregnant with Ethan.
Ethan - I think I was close but then I got pregnant with Justin. ;)

17. Did you get a lot of stretch marks?
Chris - Yes
Ethan - No
Justin - Not yet

18. What did you crave the most?
Chris - Toast...yes I said toast. I've got to tell you though, toast should NEVER taste that good. Given the choice between a prime rib and toast, I would have chosen toast.
Ethan - A&W Rootbeer
Justin - I want to say chocolate, but I'm not sure if that's caused by the pregnancy or if the pregnancy is just an excuse...hehehe.

19. Did you crave anything crazy?
Chris - No
Ethan - No
Justin - Big Mac's...I really don't like Big Macs...and he doesn't like Chineese...I love Chineese, so that's where we're going as soon as he doesn't have a say in the matter anymore.

20. Who or what got on your nerves the most?
Chris - EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING...my poor husband, I was soooooo moody.
Ethan - Smells. Jon started calling me "Sal" (from the movie K-PAX...he was in the mental institution because he thought everyone and everything smelled really bad)
Justin - Some days I can't take any amount of joking...doesn't matter what kind or who is doing it. It's just not funny no matter what...I think I'm fine most days though...maybe I should ask Jon about that, he might have a different story.

21. Were you married at the time?
Chris - Yes
Ethan - Yes
Justin - Yes

22. Did you have any complications during the pregnancy?
Chris - Yes, that's why he was born early.
Ethan - Yes
Justin - Not so far (YEAH-A-H!)

23. Where were you when you went into labor?
Chris - In the hospital
Ethan - In the hospital
Justin - It's WAY to early for that. But hopefully I'll be in the hospital...everyone tells me that it's more painful when you're induced, (and I don't really know 'cause both of mine were induced) but I like not having to be like "I think it's real labor" and hoping that we can get the kids to someone and get to the hospital before the baby come...or after it's too late to have drugs...AHHH!

24. Did your water break?
Can you have a baby WITHOUT your water breaking? If you mean by itself...
Chris - No, the Dr. did it.
Ethan - No, the Dr. did it.
Justin - Will probablly be the same, but who knows?

25. Did you go early or late?
Chris - Early
Ethan - Right on time
Justin - Who knows?

26. Who was in the room with you when you gave birth?
Chris - 1 Dr. and 1 Nurse other than that if you weren't at the conception you WILL NOT be there at the birth...that's the rule. So obviously Jon was there too. If I had my way the Dr. and Nurse would be waiting outside incase something went wrong and Jon would be the ONLY one in there...but that's just me.
Ethan - Same answer as Chris.
Justin - Will be the same.

27. Was it video taped?
Chris - No, the Nuns don't allow that (I was at a Catholic Hospital)...not that it would have been vido taped if they had allowed that.
Ethan - Same answer (Interesting side note that I bet you didn't know about me, when I was going to the hospital to have Chris, that was the first time I'd ever seen a nun...if you don't count the movies...I lived in such a Mormon town.)
Justin - It won't be.

28. Did you have drugs for the pain?
Chris - 2 words for you BACK LABOR
Ethan - Yes, BACK LABOR AGAIN!
Justin - I will.

29. Did you go vaginal or c-section?
Chris - Vaginal
Ethan - Vaginal
Justin - Hopefully the same

30. What was your first reaction after giving birth?
Chris - That was it? (Aside from back labor, I didn't feel anything in labor.) The nurse came in to look at how my contractions were going and was all "WOW! did you feel THAT one?" And I didn't. And from the time they told me to push until the time they rushed him away (stupid nurses) was 1/2 hour...so I wouldn't mind the rest being like that. My reaction 45 minutes after I had him was "Do I get to hold him now, or is that privilage reserved for the people who didn't do Jack in getting him here?"
Ethan - I'm glad I'm never going to have to have this Dr. again...he's a MORON! (It seem I can only have a good Dr. OR a good nurse...can't have both)
Justin - Who knows what it will be. Hopefully it will be "Hey, it IS possible to have a good Dr. AND a good nurse at the same time!"

31. How big was the baby?
Chris - 5lbs 13 oz
Ethan - 7lbs 7 oz
Justin - we don't know, it sounds like he'll be pretty close to Ethan's weight though.

32. Did your husband cry?
Even if I knew he did, I certainly would know better than to write yes to that. But he would have hid it from me if he had.

33. What did you name your baby?
Christopher Alexander
Ethan Gilbert
Justin Michael (I hope)

34. Did the name have any signifigance to you?
Chris - Named after Jon's best friend (who's really like a brother), Alexander was because I told Jon he could pick the middle name as long as we agreed on it. And it was the ONLY one we agreed on.
Ethan - Ethan was the ONLY name (again) that we could agree on; his middle name is after Jon's grandpa who died 2 weeks before Ethan was born (Ethan was going to be Ethan Michael, but we changed it)
Justin - Michael is Jon's middle name (and his Dad's first name) and Justin Michael is just better than Sven Wolfgang.

35. Does the baby's name fit?
Chris - Yes, but we just call him "Topher" and everyone seems to think that just fits better.
Ethan - Yes
Justin - I'm sure hoping so, 'cause I HATE trying to come up with boys names that Jon and I agree on, so I'm not likely going to change it if it doesn't fit...it will just have to work.

36. Did the baby have any complications?
Chris - Jaundice, Febral Seizures
Ethan - No
Justin - Hope not

37. How old is your baby today?
Chris - 3
Ethan - 1
Justin - T minus 110 days (Woo-hoo! I'm almost in double digets!)

38. When is the next one coming?
That would be Justin (May 12th)

39. If you could would you do it over again?
I'm with Ranee' on this one. If you are saying I could have the baby WITHOUT the pregnancy and labor then NO WAY IN HADES would I ever go through it again. But since it's the only way I know of to get my own baby, yes I would do it again.
