How many? 1 each...for like 5 days in a row. :)

What were your first symptoms? cramping at 4DPO, slight nausea, and then never getting AF! Of course, I tested at 11 DPO so I was a bit impatient!

Who did you tell first? Derek. he didn't believe it (it was a faint line).

Who was with you when you found out? no one...Derek was in another room.

Was baby planned?: meticulously

When was baby conceived? April 15th. What a way to celebrate taxes being due.

Have you heard the heartbeat?: at every appointment

Who do you think baby will look like? I think it looks like she's got her daddy's nose, but I'm hoping she has my eyes.

Will baby have any siblings?: future ones, possibly.

Have you and dad felt baby move? I feel her a lot now, Derek hasn't felt her move yet.

When did you start to show?: I started showing for real around 16 weeks. Anything before that could have passed as me getting a little chubby.

Did you have morning sickness?: not a whole lot. for a couple weeks. I did, however, have many many food aversions until around 14 weeks.

Did you have any mood swings?: I'd say I'm less moody now than before I was pregnant! Not that I don't have emotional outburts occasionally.

What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Derek being extra nice, people not letting me do anything like heavy lifting or getting up much.

What is the worst thing about being pregnant? the recent back pain I've developed is probably the worst symptom I've had. It's killer.

What's one thing you miss doing since being pregnant? sleeping on my back and stomach, drinking smirnoff ice, eating deli meat, dye-ing my hair, walking at a pace faster than a snail. :)

Any days you wish you weren't pregnant?: not yet. Haven't gotten to the 3rd trimester yet, so that answer might change.
