I was tagged to do this survey about your first baby. Since Jackson is my first and only child as of now, this is all about him. I loved this survey because it took my back to how fun and exciting it was to be pregnant, in labor, and to have a new born. We are so blessed to have such a happy and loving baby.

1. Were you married at the time? Yes, We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary two months before
2. What were your reactions when you found out you were pregnant? I was so happy! I took 3 positive test and a visit to the doctor to convince Dan we were really having a baby. Once it was confirmed he was super excited!!
3. How old were you? I was 23 when Jackson was born.
4. How did you find out you were pregnant? We were actually really lucky and got pregnant the month after I stopped birth control. We thought it would take about 4 months, but it happened instantly. I came home one Friday night after a school Halloween party and decided to take a test since I was feeling a little weird. And sure enough it came back positive.
5. Who did you tell first? Dan, when he came home from playing a long night of poker. I thought it would be best to tell him in person and show him the proof.
6. Did you want to find out the sex? Yes!!
7. Due date? July 2, 2007
8.Did you deliver early or late? I was 3 days late. My doctor was nice enough to schedule me to be enduced a couple of days before Dan's mom had to go back to Washington. I was scheduled to go in at 7am on July 5th but Jackson decided he was ready earlier that morning. I woke up with contractions around 4 am.


Waiting for Jackson to come, after the epidural of course!

13. How many pounds did you gain throughout the pregnancy? Way to much, 40 lbs.
14.Did you have any complications during your pregnancy? No, I loved being pregnant.


15.Where did you give birth? Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Texas
16. How many hours were you in labor? I got to the hospital around 7 and was already dialated to a 4. I recieved my epidural about an hour later and it was smooth sailing from there. I was dialated to a 10 by noon and started pushing. I pushed for 23 minutes. Jackson was born at 12:23!



17. Who drove you to the hospital? Dan drove me to the hospital. He tried to make me not think about the pain I was in by playing a new cd I just bought really loud and dancing.

21.How much did your child weigh? 7 lbs. 9 oz.

23. What did you name him/her? Jackson Daniel Noble




24. How old is your first born today? Jackson will be 9 months old next week. The time really does fly. It seems like we were bringing him home from the hospital just the other day.
