With questions courtesy of Natalie's Real Simple mag., here's a little bit (more) about me..
What makes you laugh? The people in my life. Gracie at least 3-5 times a day-- the real belly laugh kind of laughing. Cori-- he is adorable. My sister Sara-- one of the cleverest people I know. My mom-- who can find a way to laugh at just about anything.

My first kiss was... Behind the gym after school. (Mom? Dad? Are you reading this?) A guy I had the warmies for asked me to meet him back there before getting on the bus. Anticlimactic for sure.

What celebrity crushes did you have as a teenager? I was such a nerd. I don't think I had celeb. crushes until I was in college. I certainly had Broadway character crushes though. In my tween years, Joseph from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat. And in high school, Raoul from Phantom, and Marius from Les Miserables.

Fill in the blanks: "I cannot leave a _______ store without spending less than $_______." The grocery store, $20. Costco, $50. Target, $10. Every place else, I can exercise a lot of self control. Hmmm. Food and bulk items are obviously weaknesses. I'm making a mental note about that.

Name three things you have survived. 1.) Graduate school- vicariously through my husband, but being the wifie through something like that takes some skill too. 2.) Two miscarriages. 3.)Being a lactose intolerant person who loves dairy products (Exept straight milk, yuk).

The big decision I'm currently wrestling with is... whether I should just go along with this doctor's plan to deliver 'Lil Bronco via C-section or to change doctors and fight to deliver VBAC. I really don't want to recover from another cesarean procedure. Opinions?

Jesse,
I'm glad I had my VBAC, even though my third delivery was a c-section anyway. Theoretically, your body can't handle as many c-sections as V. births.
My c-sections (1st and 3rd babies) were both pretty easy recoveries for me, but they were different in practice, because with my first I only had to take care of the baby and myself. With my third baby I had a 4 year old and 2 year old to run after. And you can't pick them up for about 6 weeks after a c-section. For that reason alone I'd try for a VBAC. Keep track of how much you pick up Gracie. I pick up Alison to put her in her car seat, crib, booster chair, etc. And I pick up Olivia to put her in timeout!
Hope that helps.
Marcy: Thanks for the input. I've already started weening Grace off of being carried around too much. I didn't realize how much I carry her (mostly to save time). But VBAC or C-Section, I won't be able to haul her around for long, right? One can lift only so much with two hands.
so good to read more about you! I was LI when I was pregnant with Jayden - not fun. I had no idea regarding the miscarriages - virtual hug - and Raoul from Phantom still does it for me, if you know what I mean...what a fine specimen.
