So, around the time when I really get sick of reading the same thing over and over and over again on my own blog as I'm waiting for different pages to upload, I realize that I haven't updated my blog in a while and it's time to do so! The problem is that I don't have much to write about! Seriously, I've got nothing!

I feel so lame when I actually get out of the house and people ask me what I've been up to, because, well, I've got nothin'! I just say, ummm....nothing really! And it's true! I can't wait for spring and warmer weather so I can get out again and take some loooong walks! Maybe, just maybe, I wont be so boring anymore!

So I decided that I would post a tag that's been going around Facebook for awhile. I figure most of the posts are about Michael and hardly ever about me, so this way you can get to know me a tad bit more...maybe. So enjoy!

This is all about my my pregnancy with Michael. It's written to be about my first pregnancy and since I don't have any more kids, yet, it's obviously about my pregnancy with Michael.

1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? I don't know if any pregnancy could have been planned more!

2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes

3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Well, it was a bit relieving. I had taken a test two days before and was very bummed out and a bit confused. So I woke up early on Sunday morning and there was a faint, faint line. I was very excited. Now Nathan's reaction? is another story: Quote, unquote: inconclusive. Seriously, first and last word! Talk about buzz kill!! Soon after having Michael I asked him, Still inconclusive?

4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? Is it just me, or is this question totally offensive??? Of course it wasn't an option!

5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 22

6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? Home preggo test

7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? Nathan. Then I called my family so I could get a POSITIVE reaction (I still feel annoyed by it, can you tell?)

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

9. DUE DATE? February 24, 2006

10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? Ya, but not bad. I was great/normal for the first 8 weeks and I threw up a few times, but it wasn't bad. It was gone by 14 weeks. I really hope every pregnancy is that way!

11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? My big thing was cereal and milk, but only together. Not sure if that was a preggo craving, because I still crave it and it's been almost 3 years. Other than that, I didn't really have any.

12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? I don't know. Probably my husband. He's always irritating me. :) love ya, nathan

13. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX? Boy

14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? while I was pregnant yes. I really wanted and still really want a girl. But I'm grateful for him and wouldn't trade him for anything, not even a girl.

15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? I think it was about 40.

16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? Yes, I had 2. I had one at each of our parents houses.

17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew about the one at Cathy's (Nathan's mom) and I figured it out at my moms while walking up to the door. (all the cars on the street and the loud talking/laughter inside gave it away)

18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? Not until labor.

19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? Madison Memorial, Rexburg, Idaho

20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? I'm not sure, but I arrived at the hospital to be induced at 10:00 pm and he was born just over 24 hours later. It was a LLLLOOOONNNNNGGGGGG day!

21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Nathan

22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH? Nathan...He couldn't look away!!! He looked at me maybe twice during the whole procedure. His excuse is that a doctor told him I would be so drugged I wouldn't remember anything. But, Oh man, I remember him not looking at me!!!!! I will be surprised if he DOESN'T write a comment to defind himself here!

23. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION? C-Section

24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN? DEFINITELY!!!!!

27. HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD WEIGH? 7 lbs. 4 oz. 19 in. long

28. WHEN WAS YOUR CHILD ACTUALLY BORN? March 1, 2006

30. WHAT DID YOU NAME HIM/HER? Michael Crawford Sunderland

31. HOW OLD IS YOUR FIRST BORN TODAY? almost 3 years old! He'll be 3 in just 2.5 weeks! Unbelievable!

thanks for the vote of confidence with my plans. I don't know that Michael was so late. I bet you were going crazy. I can definitely see Nathan saying that "Inconclusive" that is hilarious. We miss you too.
