Mommy Post for the Boy

I'm stealing this from Cecilia, who stole it from someone else!

Mommy Survey for Austin

1. Age? 15 months

2. Name? Austin Nicholas

3. Birthday? April 13

4. Time of birth? 8:51 a.m.

5. How long did labor last? 0 minutes...it was a planned C-section!!

6. Did you use any drugs during labor? Spinal block because DAMN that would have hurt otherwise!!

7. Who was in the room when baby was born? Daddy

8. How long did you push? Again, 0 minutes. I really recommend the C!

9. Weight? 7 lbs, 10 oz.

10. Length? 20.5 inches

11. Any hair? Some auburn fuzz, but not much of it! We're still pretty fuzzy, but it's totally blond now!

12. Who did the baby look like? A lot like me!

13. Be honest… how much weight did you gain during pregnancy? Around 40 lbs. Awesome.

14. Was baby early or late? 2 days before his due date. They thought he was going to be this freakishly huge baby and that he might not come on his own!

15. Who drove you home from hospital? Daddy

16. How many baby showers did you have? Two -- one at work and own with family and friends

17. When did baby start sleeping through the night? At 7 weeks, but we've had some back and forth since then.

18. Did you breastfeed? Until he was about 6 weeks old. I wanted to do more, but I just wasn't making enough!

19. If not, what kind of formula? We used a lot of free samples, but eventually settled on Nestle GoodStart.

20. Who keeps your baby the most? He was with Laura from 6 weeks through just last week, when she had to go back to work. Now we're with Sherry and Susie, who have Cecilia's kids, too!

21. When do you wanna have another? Yes, but not for a WHILE!! Hello, birth control!

22. How did you pick the name? Nick just picked Austin out of the blue one day and it grew on us! Nicholas is for after his dad, obviously.

23. How did you know when it was time to go to hospital? We scheduled the C-section the day before at my doctor's appt. My OB gave me option for a C or to wait and see if he "dropped on his own". We chose the C-section, especially so that Nick's dad could see pictures of Austin (he passed away 6 days after Austin was born).

24. Who drove you there? Daddy

25. Did you go home or somewhere else when you left the hospital? Straight home.

26. Anyone spend the night with you on the first night home? Daddy and my mom. Thank GOD for my mom!!
