Thread Starter 
Well, another mix up with the spotlight on exercise!

I'll kick you off Emma's_mommy!

First, will you change your MDC user name after baby comes?

Where do you hope to give birth?

Where are you from?

If you no longer live in the area where you are from, what about that place is still in you, what about you would tell us where you're from?

How many siblings do you have?

Are you close?

gotta run for now, but wanted to say Hi, and looking forward to getting to know something about you

First, will you change your MDC user name after baby comes? Nope i'll always be Emma's Mommy!

Where do you hope to give birth? in my sleep!!! lol but serously i'm hopefully having a hospital VBAC

Where are you from? Syracuse, NY

If you no longer live in the area where you are from, what about that place is still in you, what about you would tell us where you're from? well i still live in syracuse, but when i travel elsewhere my SU hoodie usually gives it away

How many siblings do you have? i have 1 brother

Are you close? somewhat.....he's riding my last nerve right now....but then again who isn't?!?!?!


1. What is the weather like in your area? it was warm, but now its cold again (by cold i mean 30's)....and my nose thinks its spring so i have full blown allergies and cant take anything for it

2. If the weather leads you to any certain hobbies while pregnant, what might they be? i like to walk when i'm pregnant, which is difficult because i need to take a billion rests!

3. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? not having my period, and not having bladder pain from my bladder condition!!! ( i live my life in constant bladder pain so the pregnancy putting it into remission has been a gift from god!)

4. What has been your favorite food so far this pregnancy? i LOVE good BBQ chicken, i always have but i have been super craving it latley, which makes it hard when it's not BBQ season!

5. When thinking of children's names, do you prefer more common/popular names or unique names and why? I like common names, but i don't like the super common ones....i want my kids to have normal names that people have heard of, but i don't want them to be 1 of 10 sarah's in a classroom!

6. What do you think will be the most exciting part about having twins? ummmm i'm not having twins....but if i were the exciting part would be getting 2 for the price of 1!

7. What is the most bizzare gift you have ever received? the first x-mas hubby and i were married my inlaws still didnt know me that well so my mil got me a bunch of random kitchen stuff she knew we still needed....including a carving knife! i thought that was a bit odd!

8. Will you be planning on doing bellycasting or painting of any sort? i'm still trying to come to grips with the reality that i am still pregnant and this is a normal healthy pregnancy....serously every morning i look at my growing belly in the mirror and think "where did THAT come from?"

9. What is your least favorite color and why? i can't stand super bright in you face colors, they give everyone a headach when they look at them and i think it's annoying that people actually chose those colors for their home! that and poop green....serously who looked at a baby's poopy diaper and thought that was a color nice enough to re-produce?

10. Aside from the obvious (clothes, food, diapers) what is one baby item you feel you just could not live without? oh geez i don't know.....now i have to think back to baby days.....i would either have to go with an exersaucer or a stroller : Emma went through a phase where she wanted to see everything but i just could not carry her all the time....so i would put her in either one of those and go about my buisness and she would be content!

Arg... I feel you on the allergies! Mine have been awful!!



3. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? not having my period, and not having bladder pain from my bladder condition!!! ( i live my life in constant bladder pain so the pregnancy putting it into remission has been a gift from god!)

Glad to hear you get a temporary break from that... it must be awful!!



6. What do you think will be the most exciting part about having twins? ummmm i'm not having twins....but if i were the exciting part would be getting 2 for the price of 1!

Blame the placenta brain for that one... I should proofread my questions before reusing them!! Good answer though!

I read you're planning on a vbac - I am too. I'm a bit nervous about it but I guess that's normal. Do you have any ideas about how you want the birth to be?
