20 Questions

Since we announced our great expectation, we've been bombarded with a ton of questions. I figured I would answer them on one place rather than start to sound like a broken record.

1. How are you feeling?
So far, not too bad. Super tired, super nauseous, but overall, nothing too bad. I've had to take a day or two off from work, but nothing out of the ordinary from what I hear.

2. When are you due?
September 7th. or 8th. Since it's a leap year, the fixed calendars are a little off, but regardless, the baby will be here the first part of September.

3. What do you want, boy or girl?
I know it sounds cliche, but we genuinely, honestly don't care. We just want a health baby. A girl would be precious, a boy would be wonderful. :) Seriously, we just want a baby that's happy and healthy. And I think my mom said it best, "Hope for healthy, work on happy."

4. Do you have names picked out?
Yes.

5. Are you craving anything yet?
Not really. Although, mac and cheese is phenomenal. Any pasta really. No real cravings, but things do taste far different than before. Where pre-pregnancy I could eat anything sugary and sweet until my heart's content, now, not so much.  So less sweet, more... mac and cheese probably.

6. Was this planned?
Sigh. I can't tell you how annoying and upsetting I find this question. Yes, this baby was planned. But does it really matter? Even if this was a beautiful surprise, we're excited about it, and that's what counts!

7. Are you going to finish your degree?
Yes. This was timed perfectly to work with where I am in my program. Everything at the lab has been handled to work around the baby.

So I think that's about it. Those are the questions we've been hearing the most. Anything else?
