Here you go mommies - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about your first born! Just copy and paste it in a new note for yourself!

5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 22 with my first, 24 with my second
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? With my first, I never got a positive reading on the at-home tests, so my nurse gave me the exciting news after I did a urine test at my doctor's office. With my second, I peed on a digital stick, and my hubby made me wait for him to read the results ... PREGNANT.

8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? Oh yes! Again, I am a planner!
9. DUE DATE? First: February 9, 2004 Second: October 23, 2006
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? Not with my first ... with my second I had anytime sickness - morning, lunch, after dinner, in the shower, whenever. I never puked, just dry-heaved a lot!

13. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX? Both of my babies were BOYS!!
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? Oh No! Ask anyone my opinion on that matter ... I am a boy mom and was scared to end up with a girl! No divas for me, please!! LOL!
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? First time around I gained 50 pounds - I ate everything!! Second time, I learned from my first! I only gained about 35 pounds.
16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? One big one for my first, and 2 for my second.
(not sure where question #17 went ... wasn't included)
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR DELIVERY? First one almost got stuck and had his cord wrapped around his arm and neck, and I had to have an episiotomy because his head was too big for me.

23. DID YOUR WATER BREAK NATURALLY? Nope - being induced, the doc does it for you.
24. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION? Natural with both.
