Ok...so I am copying this from some of my friend's blogs...eventhough I am a new mommy, I still want to play.

3. How old were you? 31 when I found out, 32 when I gave birth.

4. How did you find out you were pregnant? I just felt different. My period's have always been like clockwork and I was cramping about a week early. So, I actually took a test before I missed my period. I think I just knew.

Wow - I had a c-section too (emergency) with Alex. He was 9 lbs 4 oz. What's up with huge babies!!!?? He's still enormous at 2-1/2. I wish I'd had a better doctor that helped me prepare better for labor and did more poking around to find out how big Alex was... etc. Anyway... :)
