Frequently Asked Questions, Part 1

1. Was this planned or a surprise?

Planned!

2. When did you find out?

We were exactly 4 weeks along.

3. When are you due?

According to my calculations, we are due May 31. At our first doctor's appointment the nurse told us June 1 or June 2 and the doctor said June 2. I consulted with Dr. Shaun in Nashville and she also said May 31. So for a few weeks we were averaging the two and saying June 1, which will be my father's 65th birthday. That would be amazing. But after our first ultrasound, the baby is measuring for a May 31 due date. I am torn between May and June. May is a special month as John's birthday is the 9th, his grandmother was the 9th, Mother's Day, and our wedding anniversary is the 2oth. June is also a special month is the Orr family. My dad is the 1st, my brother is the 8th, my grandfather is the 14th, Father's Day, and my mother is the 3oth! I was due March 12 and came on March 9. John was due on May 11 and came on May 9. Baby will come when baby wants to come!

4. How have you been feeling?

Terrible. There is nothing "morning" about my morning sickness. I am nauseous all day. It has been especially bad at night.

5. Will you find out the sex of the baby?

NO! John and I are both on board with this and have been for years. Yes, I know we will get lots of green and yellow things. We are ok with that. White is also a great optoin. ;) What greater surprise is there in life? And great motivation for pushing!
