4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? No

5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 25

6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? I had been trying, so I took a test, like I had every month for the past couple of months. That one came up positive.

7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? The Hubby. But he was out of town, and I couldn't wait till he got home, so I told him over the phone. Wish I would have waited so I could have seen his reaction.

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

9. DUE DATE? June 1st.

DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? Very little. I think maybe two weeks of it, and I only threw up twice. It was a GREAT pregnancy. And I need to thank Dr. Drofen for all the adjustments that helped to keep me headache, morning sickness and back pain free!!! THANK YOU!! Go CHIROPRACTIC!

11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? Reece's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzards/Blast/McFlurry/whatever ice cream place that was close.. and taco bell

12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? All the random people that got mad (even people I didn't know) that we choose not to find out the sex. I had one stranger (a man even) yell at me about how absurd it was not to find out. What does he care?!
