| Sex of the baby! |

both! hehe
|

i guess we both want a boy but it's our first baby so it really doesn't matter to us. Ask us after we've had like 10 girls or something.. haha

a girl.. but you never know.

| Who is going to be with u?: |
during delivery - my husband and my mom and sister if they want to. i know my sister will for sure.
|

No, I'd rather have photos taken of the baby coming out as long as they don't show any of my privates.. just the baby.

Natural. I hope I can be tough, but we'll see. David wants me to take the drugs! haha

I hope not |

I cried when I saw the ultrasound. I KNOW i will cry when I have the baby.

I dunno.. it will come natural. I will probably want to kiss her face and tell her how long her daddy and I have waited for this day.

I'm sure I will be more nervous the further along I get. But I plan on reading as much as I can and going to classes so as to be more prepared for what's ahead. |

It was neat-o. Or as david would say - "neat-o burrito" hehe It was toward the end of the game and I just felt this little bubble pop up inside and then it just moved away and was gone. It was kinda surreal. I was like this --->
