- Where were you when you first found out you when you found out you were pregnant? With Wyatt I had to go to the hospital to get a pregnancy test that my doctor had ordered- I thought I had the flu! With Livvy, I frequented my OB-GYN's office once a week taking a pregnancy test. I KNEW I was pregnant, but the tests kept coming back negative. When I finally got a positive the nurses all threw confetti and danced around hugging me.
- Who was with you? I was by myself for Wyatt. Brandee was with me for Livvy.
- What was your first reaction? Iwas ecstatic with both of them and cried like a baby.
- What was your husband's reaction? He was excited too, but he never cried. I think with Wyatt he was pretty shocked.
- Who was the first person you told? I called my mom first with Wyatt. With Livvy, I told Brandee first and then had Wyatt wear a shirt that said 'Soon to be Big Brother' to tell everyone else.
- Were the pregnancies planned? Yes. But both times we didn't think I'd get pregnant as fast as I did.
- Was everyone happy for you? Yes.
- What was the sex? One of each.
- Did anyone throw a shower for you? I had 3 showers with Wyatt. One with the Beck family in Salt Lake, one with Shelby's family in Tremonton, and one with my family and friends in Gooding given by the Gillettes.
- Did you get any outfits you wouldn't use? One or two.
- How much weight did you gain? With Wyatt- 30 pounds. With Livvy 20. But getting it off has been a different story.
- Did you get stretch marks? Some of the worst my doctor has ever seen. They got little blisters all over them.
- Did you crave anything crazy? Not really, but living in a small town really sucked when I saw something I really wanted on a commercial.
- Who or what got on your nerves the most? I threw up 6-10 times a day every day until I was 5 months with both kids. Those of you who just get nauseous have no idea how good you have it.
- Where were you when you went into labor? I was induced at the Brigham City Hospital with both kids.
- Did you have any complications? Nope. I'm a labor machine- they just slide out.
- Did your water break? No.
- Who drove you to the hospital? Shelby
- Did you go early or late? I was induced one week early with both kids.
- Who was in the room? Just me and my hubby.
- Did you video tape it? Nope
- Did you have any pain medication? I am pretty much an avid epidural fan.
- Did you have a c-section or natural? Natural with both.
- What was your reaction to the birth? Both times I was so impressed at what a miracle it is that my body could do that and that Heavenly Father entrusts me with such sweet angels.
- How big was the baby. Wyatt was 7 lbs 14 oz. and Livvy was 7 lbs. 11 oz.
- Did your husband cry? No, but he was so excited and I think he kinda went into shock after Wyatt was born :).
- When is the next one coming? We're still discussing it.
- If you could would you do it all over again? Yes in a second! It is worth every pound, stretch mark and sleepless night! I love being a mom and would not trade it for anything! Although it would be so much better if you could do it without the pounds, stretch marks, throwing up, and sleepless nights. I would probably be pregnant right now if that were the case :)
