Baby tag

2. Who was with you? Tony
3. What was your first reaction? Disbelief! Total shock. over joyed but kinda scared.
4. What was your husband's reaction? Ok! Oh wow! Similar to mine.
5. Who was the first person you told? Well technically my co-worker Aubrey figured it out first, but officially we told our parents first.
6. Were the pregnancies planned? Not exactly, we tried so long with no avail we gave up.
7. Was everyone happy for you? Oh yes!!
8. What was the sex? Girl
9. Did anyone throw a shower for you? My pre-school class/co-workers, My family, Tony's family, and our Relief Society(ended up happening after she came)
10. Did you get any outfits you wouldn't use? Not really she started in preemie cloths and is working her way up! And everyone had good taste!

15. Where were you when you went into labor? I was induced 2 1/2 weeks early in the hospital.
16. Did you have any complications? Sort of ya, they didn't like my placenta, they were worried it was going to tear. It's the reason I was induced early, my amniotic fluid was too low, and she failed that day's non stress test.
