Some people are going to love it – others will hate me for starting it. But, what the heck. :-)
I have 6 questions that I’m going to tag 6 blogs with. Let’s see what their answers are.
Here are the questions:
- How did you find out you were pregnant?
- How did you tell your partner (if you have/had one)?
- Did you secretly hope for a girl or a boy?
- Did you feel ready to have a child?
- What bit of advice did you get that you hated?
- What bit of advice did you get that you appreciated?
My answers:
- The first time, my DH and I went to a pharmacy with my little sample. The assistant said, “yup, you’re pregnant.” The second time, I think I did the same, but alone. The third time, we could buy the kits in the store so I did it at home.
- He was with me the first time. The second time, I told him when he got home from work. The third time, I just called him at work. :-)
- At first, I wanted a girl because I figured I knew what to expect with girls. I had a boy. The second pregnancy, I hoped for a girl and she came. The third time, I hoped for a boy because I thought that being an only girl might ward off some of the middle-child stuff my daughter may have. And, I did get my boy.
- Although number one was very unexpected – yes, I felt ready.
- I hated being told things like “have all the fun you can now because you can’t once the baby is born.” I mean, really, why do people have to be so negative?
- “take time for yourself. You’re still a person, even if you’re a mom now.”
Now, don’t think you’re let off the hook! I want to hear your answers too.
Who am I tagging? I thought I’d send this over to:
- Eliza at BabyLune
- Heather and Sherry at Inside Motherhood
- Grace at Kids Health Notes
- Jennifer at Everyday Networker
- Angela at Breastfeeding 1-2-3
- Heather at Writing Mother
Ok tagged ladies – it’s up to you to keep the ball rolling. Please if you do play along drop a comment so I can visit.
Let’s see who you tag for the meme: 5 (or 6) blogs for 6 questions.
Now, what about you? (if it helps give you a nudge, don’t forget that all comments are entered into the perpetual contest – info in the sidebar)
