Sick of Keeping it a Secret

Yes, we are totally sick of keeping our big secret a secret from the rest of the world and we're so excited to finally announce that Mike and I are expecting!

And in honor of me finishing school about 2 weeks ago, here's a multiple choice test you can take that will tell you a little bit about my pregnancy...Good luck!

1. How far along is Lisa?
a. 8 weeks
b. 12 weeks
c. 15 weeks
d. 4 weeks

2. How has Lisa been feeling?
a. HORRIBLE, sick sick sick, this is going to be her only child.
b. Nauseated, but can usually keep her food down.
c. She throws up at least once a day.
d. Absolutely great. No barfing, no nausea, big appetite.

3. Has Lisa felt her baby kick?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Unknown
d. All of the above

4. What is Lisa Having?
a. Girl
b. Boy
c. Unknown
d. A and B

5. Are Lisa and Mike going to find out the sex of their baby?

b. No, we want it to be a surprise
c. Can't decide

6. When is Lil' G expected to make a grand entrance into the world?
a. November 4
b. October 31
c. October 18
d. November 12

7. How excited are Mike and Lisa to be parents?
a. It wasn't expected, but we are excited!
b. Didn't want to have kids for another 2 years
c. Like most couples would be, really excited.
d. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. They are so freaking excited words cannot express it.

Answers:
Answer to question 1 is A. Lisa is approximately 15 weeks pregnant. (Now you know why I'm sick of keeping it a secret).

Answer to question 2 is D. I have felt great from day one. No barfing or anything. I have felt slight bouts of food aversion and tiredness here and there during the 1st trimester, but nothing to complain about. Probably the strongest symptom that I've felt is a huge increase in appetite. I eat ALL THE TIME.

Answer to question 3 is A and C, Yes and Unknown. I believe I have felt Lil' G kicking me in the belly, but then again, I'm not quite sure what its supposed to feel like. So considering I am small in frame and I am in my 2nd trimester I give myself the benefit of the doubt and say yes, I have felt the "popcorn popping" already.

Answer to question 4 is B and C, Boy and Unknown. We don't find out the sex of our baby until June 10. But for some reason I have a hunch I think its going to be a boy. We'll see...

Answer to question 5 is A. Yes, we absolutely want to find out what we're having.

Answer to question 6 is A. November 4 is our actual due date. (Yes, thats one day after my own B-day)

Answer to question 7 is D. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. We have been waiting for this for what seems like forever. It is such a huge answer to our prayers and a real miracle. We are so excited words cannot express it. The first time I saw our little baby's heart beating away on the Dr.'s ultrasound machine was amazing because of FINALLY being able to see a heartbeat. It really is our little miracle.

Well, I think I covered it all! Hope everyone did good on the test! Here's your reward...a picture of me and my bump:

Wow, you must have a smart mother, cuz I answered all the questions correctly....maybe Lil'G will get some of those smart genes, but he will probably get the smarty pants genes instead.
The word Congratulations hardly seems adequate, and can I just say my, how you've grown since I saw you last week!

kylee said...

Holy Cow!! I'm out of touch for a week and I feel like I am the last to know!! But I'm going to say it anyway, CONGRATULATOINS!!!! I'm so excited for you!! I hope you have a little boy! Then our little guys would only be a 4 months apart! But...girls are so much fun too! And I must say I was the same as Michelle, with Brynlee I was hungry ALL THE TIME and I felt great my whole pregnacy. But with this one I haven't been as hungry and I was a little sick during my first trimester. But everyone is different! You look dang cute by the way! Loved the quiz, and I got all of them right :) ! I know, I'm amazing! haha jk
