Finding out:
What day did you find out you were pregnant?: Friday, April 15th, 2011
How did you feel when you found out?: Disbelief initially, then I couldn't stop smiling
Who was with you?: I was home alone
How did the daddy react?: I told him when he got home from work that I know what I'm making him for his birthday and Christmas (his birthday is December 9th and I'm due Christmas Eve). He told me not to be silly, it's not for a long time. I replied by saying that it's going to take a lot of work, so I need to start now. I then told him I'd give him a hint what it was going to be, I showed him the pregnancy test. We basically reacted the same. He also was in disbelief initially, but kept repeating, "there is a line". He then couldn't stop smiling and started hugging me.
Telling the grandparents:
How did you parents react?: My mom was shocked. I called her and told her to guess what and of course she replied "what?" I told her she was going to be a grandma and she asked how. After I explained to her I was pregnant, she really didn't know what to say. She did accept it sooner than my dad and my step-dad.
How did his parents react?: They were really happy, he is their only child without kids! His mom could already tell I was pregnant because how my eyes looked though.
How often do they call to check on you?: My mom calls me at least once a week on her way to work. My dad usually waits until I call, which I'm pretty bad about.

Do you think you will have a c-section?: I would prefer to avoid it

Do you know what you will say to the baby when you first hold it?: I sort of have played it out in my head a few times and I always mention how perfect she is, lol
Are you scared about the labor?: Right now, not at all. I think when it gets closer and reality starts to set in, it will be a little more scary.
Names:

Are you ready to be a mommy?: I'm still waiting for that mommy thing to kick in, but I am super excited for when she arrives.
What do you think the baby will be a "daddys girl/boy" or a "mommys girl/boy"?: Daddy's girl for sure. He's going to spoil her rotten
