DYK, that part of my post-partum depression after having DS2 was thinking "Oh my gosh, I can't believe I just named my son Henry!!" (in a "oh-I-hope-he-doesn't-get-beat-up-in-school" way)
DYK my husband has 30 cousins JUST on his father's side of the family.
DYK there are 2 "Jennifer Chadwell's" in my family- we both married in. And once, when we lived on the same street and had the same OB/GYN and used the same pharmacy, the tech tried to give me her prenatal vitamins when I came to pick up my birth control pills! hehehe
DYK the other Jennifer & I started a cooking club a few years back- a group of us (about 8-10) meet each month (to a different theme or key ingredient, like "brunch" or "Irish" or "apples"), each bringing a new recipe/dish. We sample everything and leave with the recipes. We look forward to it each month.
DYK this month's theme is "tea" as in things served at a tea. I can't wait!

Have to ask Andrea~... what is the second tattoo of and how did you get the nickname Beast Girkle?


DYK... I also have a tattoo and it caused a lot of tension when I first met DH?
DYK... My parents were 36/42 when they had me?
DYK... I sold everything I had (except some clothes and a few special items) when we moved to HK?
DYK... I love one on one deep conversations versus anything shallow which is why I'd prefer a few close friends instead of many acquaintances? (no idea how to spell that.. lol... not a good speller)

DYK my baby is 1 today. To be exact, in 9 minutes! At this point 1 year ago, I was yelling to the nurse from the bathroom "oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh" b/c my body was starting to push him out while I was standing. I had to "candle blow" for 4 minutes to keep from pushing while my doctor ran over from his office. (literally ran- he was winded when he walked into my room) His little head was already half-out when my doc was ready. 2 pushes and he was in my arm!!

Andrea-- ahh, he was my 2nd. I pushed longer with my 1st!

But, DYK that DS2 was 9 pounds!! It makes me ache just thinking about it. Even though he was so easy to birth. My 1st thought was "oh, he's a boy, I knew he was a boy!" (we didn't find out before he was born), my 2nd was "Oh my gosh, that's a big baby!"
DYK that when my BF, Paige, had her daughter 13 days before my baby was born, she, too, got ill- 3x's I think, and with each time, she dialated more. The last time put her to 10cm! LOL.

And great job on the 5K. You're a better woman that I!
