Finding Out!!
What day did you find out?: Christmas 2008
How did you feel when you found out?: Shocked (because I thought that cycle was a bust), Excited, Shocked, Excited again!
Who was with you?: Nobody knew I was testing right then, but my husband was in the next room, and my sister and BIL were staying at our house.
Who was the first person you told?: My husband! I yelled for him to come into the bathroom.
How did they react?: He was in a little bit of shock (like I said, we thought that cycle was a bust!), but grinning ear to ear and kept asking "Are you sure?" "It says PREGNANT?" "Really?" :)
How did Daddy react?: Well, I already answered that, but I can go on to say that my older sister (who is also pregnant) and BIL were staying with us that week, so I went and woke her up to show her the test and she was very excited for us as well!

Telling the Grandparents!!!
How did your parents react?: I called my mom right away and she was very happy for us, though she wanted me to verify the pregnancy with a blood test soon.
How did his parents react?: We told them 2 days after Christmas by giving them "an extra gift we found under the tree" that was 2 onesies with grandparent quotes, and a picture of the positive digital test. They said they already knew because I wasn't drinking on Christmas.. but I WAS drinking on Christmas because I didn't test until that night and thought we were out of luck that cycle. It was funny.
Are they helping with baby names?: Not really.. A and I wanted to make that decision ourselves.
Have they bought anything for the baby yet?: My mom has offered to buy all the furniture for the nursery, but we haven't ordered it yet. A's mom bought me a maternity outfit and a set of onesies/pants that say "Daddy loves me".
How often do they call to check on you?: A's parents ask about every week or so, I see my mom everyday so she just gets daily updates.

About the Pregnancy!!!
When was your first appointment?: First ACTUAL appt was Jan 27.. but I had already seen my OB several times before then for Hyperemesis and had already been hospitalized in labor & delivery twice by that point.
When is your due date?: Sept 1
How far along are you?: 18 weeks 5 days
Pre-pregnancy weight?: 135ish
Weight now?: 140ish
Have you had any ultrasounds?: I have had 4 so far: One in the hospital at (what we thought was) 8ish weeks, one at my OB's the very next day to verify what the hospital saw (we were then bumped up to 9weeks), the NT Scan at 13 weeks, and the big anatomy scan at 18w2d. We will have another u/s at 22w3d.
Have you heard the heartbeat?: Three times via ultrasound and once via doppler.
What was the heartbeat?: The first 2 u/s showed HB in the 170s, NT Scan showed 140's, Anatomy scan showed high 130's.

Sex of the baby!!
Are you finding out or will you wait until birth?: We found out at our anatomy scan.
What do you want?: Neither one of us "wanted" either sex, just a healthy baby.
What does Daddy want?: See above, but he always said he had a feeling it was a girl.
What do you think you are having?: I always thought it was a boy.
Have you had your big ultrasound yet?: Yes, at 18w2d!
If so, what are you having?: A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY GIRL!
Are you and Daddy happy with what you are having?: We are thrilled, really couldn't be happier!!!

About the birth!!
Do you know what you are taking with you?: To the hospital? My husband, my laptop, my camera, my bag..?
Who is going to be with you?: My husband will likely be the only one in the room, if my friend K (who is due the same day!) hasn't had her baby yet, she may take birth photos for us.
Are you going to videotape it?: Nope, but I hope to have photos taken of the process. (None below the belt though!)
Natural or Medicated?: I go back and forth on this.. I want to say natural, but I am not opposed to getting an epidural if I feel like I need to.
Do you think you will need a c-section?: I don't think so, and I'll hope not. My mom delivered 4 babies naturally, no drugs or anything.. my MIL delivered 4 babies naturally, my 2 SILs had wonderful birth experience with their 4 kids, and my sister had a wonderful birth as well. If genetics has anything to do with it (I know, every woman is different!), than odds are in our favor that all will be well.
Will you cry when you hold your baby for the first time?: I guarantee it!
Do you think Daddy will cry?: Yes. I think so.
Do you know what you will say to the baby when you first hold him/her?: I haven't really scripted anything..haha.. but I'm sure we'll both be in a state of shock and just tell her how much we love her.
Are you scared about the labor?: Sometimes, I worry about the pain and how well I will tolerate it, other times I am very confident in my body's ability to handle the birth.

Names!!
Do you have a name picked out?: Yep.
Girl names: Camryn Louise
Boy names: Would have been Landon Michael.
Is your baby going to be named after someone?: Middle names are passed on from me and A (per family tradition), first names are not after anyone.

Other Random Questions!!
Have you felt the baby move?: Yep!
What race(s) will your baby be? From you and Daddy?: We are both as white as they come.

What was the first thing you bought for the baby?: Before we were pregnant, we already had a couple cloth diapers, a Moby Wrap, and a diaper bag (all from clearance sales or Mama Bargains). Since getting PG, we bought a few outfits for both genders, and since finding out she's a she, we've bought 4 more girly outfits.
Will you cloth diaper?: That's the plan.
BFing or Formula?: I hope to be able to BF, but I will not beat myself up over it if we need to switch to or supplement with formula.

Sleeping more then 2-3 hours at a time (though I know that still won't happen for a while). Wearing jeans that actually have buttons and zippers.
