100 Things About Me (to pass the time, nope no baby yet)

1. I guess we’ll start with the obvious: I love Jesus.
2. I love my husband. His name is Eric.
3. We will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on June 7th.
4. July 7th will mark our 5 year “relationship” anniversary.
5. I love Judah and Sweet Pea. Being a mom is the most amazing, fulfilling thing ever.
6. We go to a G12 church, which means that our Pastors have 12 disciples, all of us have 12 disciples, etc... Eric & I are on the Pastor’s 12s.
7. When Eric & I first started dating every 7th I would say “this is my longest relationship.” I did it for a long time until I realized how much is annoyed Eric.
8. I tell the same stories over and over again. It annoys Eric, but they’re just so dang funny!
9. I was on swim team for 1 year in high school. But, my dad doesn’t remember.
10. I used to be r eally, really messy. I’ve gotten a lot cleaner since marrying Eric.
11. I had an eating disorder in high school, but I never called it that until years later.
12. I want to have a lot of kids. My mom says I used to say I want 8. So, I’m sure Eric and I will end up with A LOT (whatever that means).
13. I know Sweet Pea will come at the perfect time, but 8lbs is plenty big enough for a baby. (I w as 9lbs!)
14. I always pictured myself with a daughter. After having Judah I realize how much I LOVE being a mom to a son.
15. Hot pink is my favorite color. Maybe that explains wanting a daughter.
16. If I could do my wedding over I’d have it in Hawaii.
17. I hate drama.
18. I love my church and my pastors and I don’t understand how anyone couldn’t.
19. I LOVE to read other people’s blogs.
20. I got this 100 things about me idea from another blog.
21. I wonder how long the longest pregnancy was. I hope I don’t break the record.
22. Birthing/babies/delivery/pregnancy consumes most of my thoughts right now. Bear with me!
23. I hate germs. I never thought about them until Judah was born.
24. I LOVE chocolate. See’s is my favorite. Milk chocolate is my favorite.
25. I love to watch reality tv. My husband doesn’t really like to watch tv.
26. That’s definitely a good thing for me or I’d watch way too much.
27. I hate gossip. Gossip destroys families, friendships, etc...
28. I want my baby to be born in April. Especially if it’s a girl. The birthstone is a diamond.
29. I like to go for walks, especially in the park.
30. Judah likes it, too!
31. A coffee shop is the best place to hang out. An tall iced decaf mocha with whip isn’t too bad either.
32. Alcohol is overrated. I prefer a pepsi.
33. My dream was always to get married and have babies.
34. Now I’m living my dream.
35. My husband is a romantic, but he’d never admit it.
33. He’s also a twin.
34. Judah has no first cousins. We don’t know when Eric’s siblings will have kids. It will be a LOOONNGG time for my sister (she’s 16).
35. My sis and I are 7 years apart. It was basically like we both lived the life of an only child.
36. Our childhoods were so completely different it’s surprising that we have the same parents.
37. But I turned out all right. Right?
38. I LOVE to hang out at Barnes & Noble. I used to read in there for hours. Now I chase Judah around.
39. I don’t know who Judah looks like. Some people say “he looks just like you” and some say “he looks just like Eric.” Only time will tell.
40. I think personality-wise he’s just like me. My spitting image.
41. Eric and I kissed for the first time 3 months after we got enaged.
42. We were going to wait until we got married. But, we moved out wedding date back 9 months.
43. I don’t regret that (the kiss, not moving the wedding)
44. I played with barbies until I sold them in a yard sale in 7th grade.

47. I am soooo sick of maternity clothes!

61. I’m smart, but I don’t try. At all.
62. I think I’ve improved in the self-discipline area. But, I ‘m still improving...
63. My husband is the exact opposite. He was a great student and has pretty much the best self-discipline of anyone I’ve ever met.
64. I credit him (obviously) and my in-laws.
65. Outwardly it looks like I’ve helped Eric improve. Because I’m louder and move outgoing.

95. I love to go out to eat. I could do it everyday for every meal.
96. I do not understand how my husband prefers eating at home.
