I usually don't really care for tags, but I saw this one on someone else's blog and thought it was fun to read, plus I just haven't really had anything to blog about lately! And I needed a new post! So I hope you enjoy!
1- Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
With Ethan and Hannah both- I was at home when I took the test, but confirmed it at the Doctors office.
2-Who was with you?
With Ethan and Hannah both- Dave was with me at home, but I went by myself to the Dr.
3-How did you find out that you were pregnant?
With both Ethan and Hannah- I took a test and there was just barely a hint of a second line, so I was still a little unsure, so I called my dr. and they said to come in and they would test me. So for Ethan they just had me take a pregnancy test there and that one showed a definite second line, and with Hannah they instantly drew my blood and the dr. called me at home later that night to confirm that I was.
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
Well with both of them we were sooooo excited because we had been trying for quite awhile, so it was definitely an exciting moment for both!!
5-Who was the first person you told?
With Ethan- we gave a present to our parents that contained a baby bib that said I love my grandma and grandpa, and they immediately knew and started crying and were so excited for us!
With Hannah- we had Ethan call and tell everyone that he was going to be a big brother!
6-Did you plan to get pregnant? Yes, but not exactly when we wanted. 3 years for Ethan, and a year and a half for Hannah
7-Was everybody happy for you? Yes, our families were so excited for us, especially since we had been trying for so long.
8-Did you want to find out the sex? Of course! Like I could wait 9 months!!

11-Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you just knew you weren't going to put on your baby? Yes, I am very picky when it comes to dressing my kids!
12-How much weight did you gain? 28lbs with both kids
13-Did you lose all of the weight that you gained? Yes
14-Did you get a lot of stretch marks? I did not get any, thank goodness!!!
15- What did you crave the most? Anything weird? I did not really crave anything with either one.
16-Who or what got on your nerves the most? People rubbing my belly, and wanting to feel it kick!
17-Did you have any complications during your pregnancy? No
18-Did you have any complications during you delivery?
With Ethan, I was in labor for 24 hours and almost had to have a c-section, but the doctor ended up yanking him out with forceps at the last minute, and I ripped from one end to another(sorry to be so graphic)! It took the doctor an hour to sew me back up! I could hardly move or walk after that! With Hannah, I had to have a c-section because of what happened with Ethan, and I loved it so much better!
19- Where were you when you went into labor? With Ethan, I was at home and woke up around 4 am having contractions. And with Hannah, I had a scheduled c-section.
20- Did your water break? With Ethan, the doctor broke my water, and again with Hannah I had a c-section.

22- Did you go early or late? With Ethan I was 4 days past my due date, and with Hannah I had her a week and a half early.
23- Who was in the room with you when you gave birth? Dave, and the doctors and nurses
24- Was it video taped? With Ethan, I had Dave start videoing after he came out. And with Hannah, he video taped the whole c-section.
25- Did you have any drugs for the pain? Heck ya!!! Epidural for both!!
26- What was your first reaction after giving birth? I couldn't believe I had just had a baby, and that it was mine!

28- Did your Husband cry? I can't remember, I don't think so, Dave doesn't ever cry!
29- What did you name the baby? Ethan David Holbrook, and Hannah Lee Holbrook
30- Did the baby have any complications? Ethan didn't really have any complications, he had a hard time warming up and had huge purple bruises on the sides of his head from the forceps. And Hannah had the cord wrapped around her head but it wasn't causing any problems, infact the dr. teased that she was definitely a girl because she came out wearing a neclace!

32- When is the next one coming? Who knows!!!
33-If you could, would you do it all over again? Absolutely!!!!
