All About Baby TAG

1- Where were you when you first found out you were pregnant?
Probably in at the Drs office in Murray.
2- Who was with you?
Bob
3- How did you find out that you were pregnant?
The old fashioned way, with a blood test at the Drs office.
4- What was your first reaction to finding out you were pregnant?
We were really excited. I thought I was pregnant before and lost it at the very beginning. Had all sorts of fun times and finally had a D&C. Not much fun. When I really was pregnant the next time it was great.
5- Who was the first person you told?
I would say Bob but he was with me when I found out. So the next people to find out were probably the grandparents.
6-Did you plan to get pregnant?
Yes
7- Did you tell everyone else right away?
Probably not. I think we waited for a month or so.
8-Was everybody happy for you?
Yes
9- Did you go out and celebrate?
I'm sure we did something, but that was too long ago to remember what it was.
10- Did you want to find out the sex?
My Dr. used to try to predict the sex by the heart rate. Not really 100% accurate, but he did think Marcy would be a girl.
11- What was the sex?
Girl
12-Did anyone throw you a baby shower?
Yes I had a couple of them.
13- If yes, who?
I had a family shower, with Mom, Cindy and family. I was Young Women's president at the time and the mutual girls gave me a shower in the ward.
14- Did you get any outfits at the baby shower that you just knew you weren't going to put on your baby?
No
15- How much weight did you gain?
I'm not sure, but it wasn't a whole lot. I loved being pregnant, didn't feel sick, but didn't like junk food. So I always went home from the hospital weighing less than before I got pregnant. Didn't last long though.
16- Did you lose all of the weight that you gained?
Lost it at the time, just gained it back easier than before.
17- Did you get a lot of stretch marks?
Not really that time. Couldn't help it with the twins.
18- What did you crave the most?
Fruits
19- Did you crave anything crazy?
Ice, I loved chewing ice.
20- Who or what got on your nerves the most?
Pushy people in check out lines.
21- Were you married at the time?
Yes
22- Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
No
23- Where were you when you went into labor?
Home
24- Did your water break?
Yes, hurt a lot.
25- Who drove you to the hospital?
Bob.
26- Did you go early or late?
Late, but not by too much.
27- Who was in the room with you when you gave birth?
Just Bob and the Dr.
28- How long were you in labor for?
Not very long. My labor was always too short to have any drugs.
29- Did you have any drugs for the pain?
Not enough time before the birth.
30-Did you go Natural or have a c-section?
Yea, natural.

Relief that it was over, didn't realize it had really just begun.
32- How big was the baby(s
7.5 lbs
33 - Did your Husband cry?
Not at the time.
34- What did you name the baby(s)?
Marcy Lou Taylor
35- Does his name have any significant meaning?
I wanted a name that was different from the common ones. I think I found the name Marcy on the Peanuts cartoons. Lou is Bob's moms middle name.
36- Did you have any visitors?
Oh yea, everyone came and Mom came up and stayed with us for a week.
37- Did the baby(s) have any complications?
Not really a complication, but she did have a cone head. They had to use the "salad tongs" (as Bob would say) to get her out and her head was stretched. It only lasted for about an hour though, and then she was beautiful. Still is!
38- How old is your baby today?
31 years old!.
39- When is the next one(s) coming?
That one's not even a consideration. There is a reason you get pregnant when you are young.
40-If you could, would you do it all over again?
No! Not that it was bad I just slightly remember half way through labor say "I have changed my mind, I don't want to do this anymore." I am thankful I went through it 5 times, although the 5th was the worst. But then we got double the blessings with that one. The result is always worth the pain. Or we would all only have one child.
