When did you get your first BFP?
Nov 16th!

Was it a planned pregnancy or a total surprise?
Planned!

How did you tell DH/SO and other children?
Showed DH and the kids my positive test!

Did you have any symptoms prior to getting your BFP?
Very bloated and bigger (.)(.)!

After you found out that you were preggers, were you hoping for a girl or a boy?
Well, after already having FOUR boys I bet that I don't need to even say what I was hoping for!

How did you feel for the first trimester?
Like crap.

Any specific cravings that you remember?
I could not get enough fresh fruits and chicken. I would crave watermelon, honey dew, cantaloupe, strawberries 24/7!
So different then my previous pregnancies when I only wanted junk food!

What was your labor and birth experience like on a scale of 1-10?
It would have been a 10 if the damn epidural would have worked. I ended having Brianna with NO pain relief and LOTS of pain curdling screaming!

What were your pospartum weeks like?
My PP weeks were wonderful sharing one on one with my beautiful new princess, Brianna!!! I was so in awe on FINALLY having a baby girl!
But having my father pass away just 5 weeks prior to her birth and then three hurricanes right in a row made my PP on a whole pretty darn stressing and sad.
