My little Hannah Nicole

I got this from a friend, it is all her "fault" that I started this blog in the first place... thank you Melisa! I got so drawn into hers and loved the concept that I just had to give it a whirl.

So this is a list that is supposed to be about your first born, but like Melisa I am going to do it for each of my kiddos. Would have loved to do this on her birthday, but what is one day... right?! So here goes...

Hannah Nicole Willbanks born: January 8, 1999

1. Were you married at the time? Yes

2. What were your reactions when you found out you were pregnant? We were excited and a little scared... Justin was not even 1 yet and we knew that Tyler would be gone a lot... between Airborne School, Ranger School and a tour in Korea we knew he was not going to be around at all.

3. How old were you? I was 22 when I had her, just barely though... our birthdays are 6 days apart :)

4. How did you find out you were pregnant? I just knew... it was the same with all my kids, I knew I was pregnant before I was even late... I got sick immediately. We did a little home test and then went to the doctor to confirm though.

5. Who did you tell first? My grandma and then Tyler's dad.

6. Did you want to find out the sex? I did not want to know but Tyler did. He was gone for the ultrasound and was going to be gone for the birth. I talked to the tech about it.. being that he was a guy and was in the military so I wanted his take on it. He said that if it was him in Korea he would really want to know. So I had him print the sex on the ultrasound (he made a second set for daddy that said "hi daddy, I'm a girl" - he was so great!) and then mailed it to him at Ranger School.

7. What was your due date? Jan. 4

8. Did you deliver early or late? A little late but not too bad

9. Did you have morning sickness? I puked for all 9 months with all 3 of my kids. (((Shudder)))

10. What did you crave? didn't really have cravings with Hannah, but whatever I wanted is what I ate... it was the only thing I could keep down.

11. Who irritated you the most? The Army... all I wanted was for my family to be together... no such luck though... uggh!

12. What was your first child's sex? A boy

13. How many pounds did you gain throughout your pregnancy? I did pretty good with Hannah, 15 lbs... not too bad, not too good either if you ask my doctor.

14. Did you have any complications during your pregnancy? Not really.

15. Where did you give birth? Luke Air Force Base, Glendale, AZ.

16. How many hours were you in labor? Hard labor I would say less than an hour, she was born minutes after my water broke, but I was in regular labor about 6 hours

17. Who drove you to the hospital? Grandma, actually I may have drove, she was with me though :)

18. Who was in the delivery room? Grandma and the doctor.

19. natural or c-section? Natural

20. Did you take medicine to ease the pain? Nope, I don't like the way the meds make you feel.

21. How much did your child weigh? 7 lb 11 oz

22. What did you name him/her? Hannah Nicole Willbanks, we call her Belle

23. How old is your first born today? Justin is 11 and 5 months... Hannah is 10 and a day!

Ok, that was fun! This is a great way to remember... thanks Melisa!!
