The Mommy Survey!

For all of the bored mommy's with nothing better to do (HA! Make it for the mommy's who are holding barely-asleep babies that they don't want to wake up... or in this case, mommy's who are working at 12:15 am and have a short break between calls), repost your answers to this survey on your own blog! =)

1. Age(s)? 3 months & 1 week
2. Name(s)? Brooklyn Rose Maner
3. Birthdays? 10/12/07
4. Time of birth? 3:52 am
5. How long did labor last? 12 hours
6. Who was in the room when baby was born? Jason, the midwife, and a few nurses... oh, and me
7. How long did you push? almost an hour - Brooklyn's heart rate kept going down and not coming back up so they had me wait out a few contractions without pushing. For some reason it seemed really fast though.
8. Weight? 8 lbs 9 oz
9. Length? 20 inches
10. Any hair? a little fuzz
11. Who does baby look like? Her DAD!! (especially now that she's not so newborny)
12. Be honest...how much weight did you gain while pregnant? 32 lbs. and when I got home from the hospital I had only lost 5. How is that possible???
13. Was baby early or late? 11 days LATE!
14. Who drove you home from the hospital? Jason
15. How many baby showers did you have? 1
16. When did baby start sleeping through the night? 6 weeks (I know I'm lucky)
17. Did you breastfeed? still am
18. Who takes care of your baby the most? me, Jason's working AND going to school
19. When do you want to have another one? honestly? never. Although I'm sure that feeling will change once I've fully recovered from this one
20. How did you pick the name? We met in Brooklyn and my Grandma Rose wrote me the most letters out of anyone while I was there so I associate Brooklyn (the place) with her
21. How did you know when it was time to go to hospital? my mom told me to =)
22. Anyone spend the night with you first night home? Yep! Jason, my mom, and my dad
23.Did you cry the first time you held your baby? yes, I was surprised that I did, but I did
24. Where was the baby born? American Fork Hospital, poor thing (although it was very nice and sometimes I wish I could go back!)
25. Did you videotape the birth? ew... no.

Wouo!!!! que interesante este cuestionario, muy interesante el porque del nombre de Brooklyn (si yo te hubiese escrito cartas, ella llevaria un tercer nombre?) jijijiji, creo que tendre presente esas cosas cuando tenga a mi primer bebé. Cuidense. (Ah! ya conteste el Tag!)
