My First...




I saw this on Sheliece's blog and thought it was so cute! So I decided I would dedicate this post to my baby boy Daylen!

Here you go mommies - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about your first born! Just copy and paste it in a new note for yourself! Let's see how much you remember!

3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Nervous and excited

4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? Never

5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? I was still a baby myself I was only 20...What was I thinking. Of course I wouldn't change anything if I had to go back.

6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? Kristin found out before I did. I took a couple of pregnancy tests at home and they were negative. So my Doctor ordered a blood test for me. I had it done at Mckay-Dee because I was working there at the time. Kristin then looked up the results on the computer. And sure enough it was positive.

7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? I called Camron right away. Then before I knew it the whole office at work knew.

8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? Yes

17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew about them

18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? Yes. I had IUGR: aka

Intrauterine Growth Restriction

What is intrauterine growth restriction ?

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a term for a baby who is smaller than normal during pregnancy. The baby is not growing at the normal rate inside the uterus. These babies usually have a low weight at birth. Babies who have IUGR are more likely to have certain health problems (both during pregnancy and after birth). Problems include:

  • A difficult time handling the stress of vaginal delivery
  • Increase risk of being stillborn
  • Low blood sugar level at birth
  • Lower resistance to infection
  • Trouble maintaining body temperature
  • An abnormally high red blood cell count


19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? Davis Hosptial

20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? 26 Hours. My Doctor started me at 38 weeks because of the IUGR. Daylen was struggling really bad so we had to get him out. He was tiny and my hardest labor for sure.

21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Camron

22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH? Camron, My Mom, My mother-in-law, and my sister.

23. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION? It is as naturaly as it can get with an epidural.

24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN? You know it. What ever they would give me. I'm not to big on pain tolerence.
