15 Things You Didn't Know

1) I always imagined my future life with a little girl and if I were to have all girls, that would be just fine by me. :) Perhaps, Heath would have a different opinion though...

2) I am not a huge fan of the color (light) pink. I dress Lucy in pink all the time; however, I didn't want her room to be solely pink, as well as her stroller, crib, car-seat, etc. When she is older and chooses pink, then I'll make the change.

3) I probably rearranged Lucy's room decor 20 times before she was born. I love design; but, was mostly nervous about her arrival.

4) I tried to use mind over matter with labor contractions and it only worked until I was dilated to 4 cm. Oh jeez, was it different than I imagined. Bring on the epidural!

5) I hate needles; but, I refuse to show Lucy that fear. I don't want her to pick up on my irrational fears and traits (like a metal fork rubbing a metal pan, foil on teeth, or basically any metal touching).

6) I'm a hypocrite sometimes. I will give Heath crap about not giving Lucy and me attention and then do the same kind of thing myself.

7) If I could only pick two channels to watch for the rest of my life, I would seriously pick Disney and ABC Family. I would like to say that it'd be for my children; but, it's not. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever grow out of it. Is 24 too old to love Disney?

8) I have serious control issues with Lucy. There are very few people that I trust watching her. I have to literally express all of my fears aloud or on paper to feel comfortable with them watching her. Sometimes I will remind them of the same thing multiple times, to make myself feel better.

9) I try to pray every night, when I put Lucy to bed. If I fall asleep before I do, I feel seriously guilty and as if something bad will happen. It's weird - I know.

10) I still like to talk about baby names, although I am not pregnant. I try to make myself stop; because, I could have 9 months of it when the time comes. I just can't. I downloaded a baby name app. on my iPod even. It's such a fun step in the process, AND difficult!

11) I want to play Barbies with Lucy when she gets older. I could and would still play with matchbox cars and with Barbies - my two favorites!

12) I wish that Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus would have been popular when Lucy was older. I could have gone to the concert and no one could have said anything to me.

13) I have had braces and over $3,000 of work done to straighten my teeth when I was 14. They were super crooked and I had those 'fang' type ones. :{ I hope Lucy gets her daddy's straight teeth.

14) I can play the trumpet and the french horn (and the tuba a little too). I really hope Lucy plays an instrument too. I think I might get her to go out for band in middle school. In high school, she can then decide if she wants to stick with it. We have an alto saxophone, flute, coronet, and acoustic guitar at home; she has a few to chose from. :)

15) Sitting next to Heath on the couch, eating popcorn, watching a movie by dim lighting, and cuddling with Lucy under a blanket is my all-time favorite past time.
