About Your Pregnancy

Is this your first pregnancy? Yes
When did you find out you were pregnant?  August 30, 2011 with an at home pregnancy test and September 2, 2011 from the doctors. 
What was your first reaction? Scared as hell. I just quit my job two weeks prior to finding out to focus on finding a job that would be more beneficial to me and my future. I cried from fear and uncertainty of the future. 
Who was with you when you found out? My Jimmy. 
Who was the first person you told? Jimmy’s mom.
How did your parents react? Jimmy’s family was excited while my mom was too shocked. The rest of my family just recently found out and they all seem to be happy for us. 
How far along are you?  14 weeks
What was your first symptom? Morning sickness. 
What is your due date? April 27, 2012
Do you know the sex of the baby? Not yet.
If so, what is it? 
Have you picked out names? Not quite. 
If so, what are they?  Girl: Jamie Faith Boy: Jamie we haven’t picked out a second name 
How much weight have you gained? No, I’ve actually lost two pounds from my first appointment (I’ve only had two so far). Pre pregnancy I was 114, first appointment I was 116 and the last appointment I had was back at 114. 
Do you have stretch marks? On my butt. I’m trying to prevent anymore with lots of lotion and coco butter. 
Have you felt the baby move? No. 
Have you heard the heartbeat? Yes! last Friday Oct 20th. I twas amazing. I teared a little and so did the father of my child. It felt more real after it. 

About the birth

Will you keep the baby? Oh yes.
Home or hospital birth? If my insurance covers it I would love to do it at a birthing center as opposed to a hospital. I thought more about this after watching a documentary called “The Business of Being Born. 
Natural or medicated birth? Natural
Who will be in the delivery room with you? Jimmy. Ideally I’d like to have two other people who would comfort me and make me laugh. But it’s whoever gets there quick enough. 
Will you breastfeed? Yes. 
Do you think you’ll need a c-section? I’m praying I wont have to. I’ll only do it if the baby is breached, transfer, and or a heartbeat. 
Will you cry when you hold the baby for the first time? I might.
What’s the first thing you might say to him/her? My baby or my little peanut. I don’ even know!
Would you let someone videotape the birth? Yes I want it videotaped but has to be rated G. haha
Are you excited about the birth, or scared? Scared to pieces.
