NATHAN SCOTT
1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED? Kind of, we decided to try, it just happened A LOT sooner than we expected.
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes, for about 6 months when we got pregnant.
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Happy, but surprised, I thought it'd take a couple more months!
4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? Absolutely not!
5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 21
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? I'd been feeling "strange" and just not hungry. It was over the holidays and I just didn't feel like eating anything, and I was super tired. 7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? Dustin, I called him at work. It was the day after Christmas so then we went to my mom and dad's and told them we had a late gift for them and gave them a card that said your going to be a grandma/pa. Then we had a Christmas party that evening at Dustin's grandparents and we did the same thing for his parents.
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? Yes, and we found out pretty early.
9. DUE DATE? I think it was August 31st.
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? Oh yeah. I was hospitilized 3 times for dehydration. It lasted about 4-5 months and was bad. Real bad.
11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? Watermelon
12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? Not feeling good probably topped the list.
13. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX? Boy
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? No, I was very happy with a boy.
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? I lost about 20 or so in the beginning, then ended up gaining it all back plus about 20-25 more.
16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? Yes
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? A couple days after I found out I was expecting I had some issues which required some testing and discoved that I had conceived triplets, but only one was actually developing. It wasn't that I had miscarried the other two, they just never "took". I had to be on bed-rest for a week or two after that. Then there was the morning sickness and hospitilizations for that. Then towards the end they were worried the baby was getting big and did all kinds of stress tests, non-stress tests, the whole she-bang. So, yeah, I guess there were some, I never really realized how many until I just typed it all out. None of it was too major though!
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? Sturgis
20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? 36, 24 of them being strong labor. I was induced at about 8 one morning and late that night it got pretty bad. By the next morning it was really bad and stayed that way until I delivered shortly before 9 that night.
21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Dustin, though we lived only a couple blocks away. I always joked I'd walk there when I was in labor.
22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH? Dustin and my mom. My dad, grandma, and Dustin's mom and dad were in the waiting room.
23. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION? Natural
24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN? Yes, they tried a few milder things and in my pain/drug induced stupor I yelled at the nurse that "this sh*# isn't working." So finally they gave me an epidural, but it didn't take, and by the time I delivered, I was pretty much drug-free.
25. HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD WEIGH? 9 pounds 5 ounces

MATTHEW DAVID1. WAS YOUR PREGNANCY PLANNED? Yes, it was very carefully thought out, we knew the age difference we wanted with our kids and aimed for that. We got it about exactly where we wanted.
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME? Yes
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS? Super-excited!
4. WAS ABORTION AN OPTION FOR YOU? Absolutely not!
5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? Hmmm...I found out the day after my 24th birthday.
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? Same as first time around, just not feeling right. I took like 6 tests before it came out positive, but it was very early.
7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST? Nathan! He was too young to really get it. I had told Dustin we were going to get Nathan a baby doll to "practice" with when we got pregnant. And when I found out, Dustin was sleeping (he had worked 3rd shift the night before) so I went and bought a doll and sent him up with it to wake up Daddy. When Dustin saw the doll...he knew.
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? I was undecided, after having a boy first, I really wanted a girl and was afraid I'd be disappointed if it was another boy. We found out, and of course I was super happy and was so glad to have 2 boys.
9. DUE DATE? Geesh, I don't remember. I think July 10th.
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS? Yes, but not near as bad as with Nathan. They put me on a "miracle drug" that really helped me out. I was able to function most days.
11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE? Watermelon again and baked potatoes with hot sauce on them. The potatoes were just a vehicle for getting the hot sauce into my mouth.
12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST? Not too much more than normal. This pregnancy was a lot easier.
13. WHAT WAS YOUR CHILD'S SEX? Boy
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING? Maybe for a split second, but I am happy now.
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY? I don't know, I lost a little at first, maybe 10 pounds, then ended up gaining probably 40 or so. I was HUGE!
16. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER? Not this time around.
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? N/A
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? Not anything major. Morning sickness for a few months and the last couple weeks my blood pressure kept dropping really low.
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? Sturgis
20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? 24 blissful hours. Yes, I said blissful. I had an epidural once the milder meds quit being strong enough and it was AWESOME!!!! I had to be woken up to push...it was the greatest.
21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Myself. I actually went in for a stress test, and he was going to come in as soon as he got home from work. It wasn't a big deal, and I didn't mind him not being there, but while there I started having contractions and they kept me and induced me to get things moving faster.
22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH? Dustin and my mom. Nathan and Dustin's mom (who was watching Nathan) just happened to show up minutes after just to visit.
23. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION? Natural
24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN? OH YEAH!!!! See #20!
