I got this survey from my friend Emily. My blog needed a new post.

At our Chico apartment at 10:00 PM
2. Who was with you?
Sean

My mom.

Yes and long awaited.

Of course.

Boy

Mostly yellow with green, and blue
10. Did anyone throw a shower for you?
Yes. I had a family shower and a Relief Society shower. Everyone was very generous.
11. Did you get any outfits you wouldn't use?
We moved so much in William's first year that some of his outfits got packed and I didn't get to use them before he outgrew them.
12. How much weight did you gain?
80 lbs!! (Mooooo!)
13. Did you get stretch marks?
(*sigh*) Yeah.
14. Did you crave anything crazy?
7-Eleven nachos and soft serve ice cream. Hmmm. . . . question 12 makes sense now.
15. Who or what got on your nerves the most?
Smells. I had a bionic nose and could smell stinky garbage a mile away. Also, the junior high kids I would sub for would wear nasty body spray like Axe and Tag. I almost hurled twice and made one of the kids stand outside until the smell settled down.
16. Where were you when you went into labor?
In the hospital for an inducement.
17. Did you have any complications?
I went to get induced a couple days after my due date and went home empty handed (!) A little over a week later I went to get induced again and he still didn't want to come out. I had to have my water broken, but because I wasn't dilating, they had to do an emergency C-section.

Nope

William Michael Payne

No. At least not where I could see him.

Not soon enough but we have to wait at least a year.

Of course, but with half of the poking me with needles and with only one trip to the hospital.

That is so crazy!! I remembver you sharing that when you came to Emma's b'day party with William only being a few weeks old... Makes me so nervous with this one... AHHH, Loved the story you posted on our blog!! That is hilarious with you and Robyn!! Lilly loves to do EVERYTHING Emma does... they're so funny to watch at times!!
Being strapped to the operating table for my c-section was seriously awful! They strapped both of my arms down so I couldn't move at all. It was not a good moment for me!
