7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? 1) I'd rather not say because it wasn't who it should've been :) 2) Michael

8. HOW DID YOU TELL YOUR PARTNER? 1) Took him to Braums, bought him one scoop of blue ice cream and one scoop of pink, told him we could end up with either one, and gave him a present that was really a present for the baby (pacifiers) 2) Walked out of the bathroom, and while Michael was still asleep, went to the fridge, got an egg, brought it back and woke up Michael. Gave it to him and said, "Guess what?" hee :)

12. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? 1) waffles, for dinner especially 3) cheese enchiladas

13. WHAT IRRITATED YOU? 1) How swollen and huge I got, how much weight I gained, pregnancy brain = memory loss and a loss of intelligent vocabulary, my stretch marks, the fact that my doctor was an IDIOT and let my baby get up to 9 lbs., torturing my poor body in the process (a LOT irritated me the first time) 2) Not much of anything, although Michael would probably admit I've been a little snippy about silly things starting about a week ago.

14. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX? boy/boy

15. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? at first, because I always thought I'd have a girl first/once I got over the surprise, not at all. I'm PUMPED about having two boys

Thanks, Kristen, for letting me steal this post. I was feeling warm-fuzzies about being pregnant today and thought this would be fun :) If any of you other pregnant friends out there would like to steal, be my guest!
