5. HOW OLD WERE YOU? 26
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT? It was the first month that I was testing my ovulation. I wasn't even keeping track of my periods cause I figured it would take a couple of months. One day I realized I hadn't had a period in a while so I took a test.
7. Who did you tell first? Josh, our parents and Cari
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX? Of Course! How's a girl supposed to shop if she doesn't know what she's having!?

17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW? I knew about them
18. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY? Nope, I had it pretty easy I think. I was anemic and had to take iron, but I don't think that really counts
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH? Lakeview
20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? I guess about 12 hours? I was induced and the contractions didn't really start until after the doc broke my water. When does labor really start???
21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL? Josh. It was sort of anti-climatic since I was induced. I think we were both expecting some exciting race to the hospital where a cop pulls us over and Josh shouting out the window "WOMAN IN LABOR!" Or maybe that's what we were hoping for . . .

28. WHAT DID YOU NAME HIM/HER? Sasha DeEtte Lakin
29. Biggest surprise during childbirth? It was pretty easy. It wasn't some majorly dramatic thing like you see on TV. It was very cool and very emotional, but it was much calmer than I expected it to be.
30. GREATEST MEMORY ABOUT CHILDBIRTH? The fact that we both survived and were very healthy
31. DID YOU BREASTFEED? Ha! Nope. I'm a dysfunctional cow.
I love this kid. I really cannot imagine life without her. I don't even remember what it was like and that was only two months ago!!!
