Belinda Bee Sauer-Jones gave me the number 11- which as we all is know is my very favorite in the world. ;) So, here goes: 11 things about my pregnancies that you all not know. 1. My last pregnancy nearly killed me. I literally coded twice. BP 00/00. heart rate in the wayyyy too fast ranges. The kind of stuff you see in medical drama shows. There is something disconcerting about hearing a code being called to your room but it is even worse to be in your body but unable to feel it. 2. i was told at 19 that i would never be able to get pregnant. that doctor is the same one to do my final prenatal visit for miss pooh, my middle child. 3. my son came at 26 weeks. i will always hold that my preterm labor came as the result of an electrical shock several days prior. i spent one week in the hospital on bed rest but he had to come early. 4. both of my girls were overdue. they also both had nearly freakishly large feet at birth. 5. i craved nearly raw steak with the boy. russian folklore says that beef cravings means a boy. 6. i craved fruits with pooh. 7. big foot reacted the most strongly to the boy. during my ultrasound appointment she would only move or turn when he spoke. 8. big foot moved the most to heavy metal music while i was pregnant. apparently my hope that she was enjoying the tunes were off base judging by her supreme lack of musical tastes now. 10. when i had big foot, there was NO ONE else on the floor. i could barely sneak off a high pitched squeaker without causing a stampede of bored to death nurses hoping for something to do. i once let them braid and play with my hair because seriously, they were bored. 11. during my first pregnancy i lost weight. i was actually smaller when i gave birth then i was when i first got pregnant. the opposite was true for both girls. In fact, my preggy belly with big foot was so big that i could literally stand outside and inside of a room at the same time. i often knocked stuff off shelves with my belly... xmas shopping in a crowded store was nearly an experiment in slapstick comedy.
