I got tagged by my friend Sarah and I'm supposed to post 5 random facts about myself. Sorry that it took me forever to do but here we go:
1. I had IUI's (Intra-Uterine Insemination) to get pregnant with both of my girls. We tried for a year and a half before we did the IUI and were successful. That might not seem like that long but it seemed like forever to me. It was a very frustrating, sad and painful time especially when I saw numerous people around me getting pregnant very, very easily. It was a monthly disappointment and I couldn't figure out why Heavenly Father wouldn't let me be a mother. That's all I wanted to be and it was so hard that I even skipped church on Mother's day one year because I didn't want to look at all the happy mothers with cute little babies. Now that I am passed all that, I now feel that I was supposed to go through that so that I can help others that may have the same problem and to let them know that they aren't the only ones. I also feel that it wasn't the right time to have my baby until I had her. It was absolutely the perfect time and it would have made life a lot easier if I would have just had faith and known that it would happen when it was supposed to.
2. Ok, now onto some not so heavy stuff. I used to work at Pizza Hut right after I graduated High School. But only delivering!!! I wouldn't have been able to just work the inside. It was actually a really good part time job while going through school. I made decent money and I got to just drive around all night. I would listen to talk shows on the radio and I even studied for my anatomy tests for massage. I made my own flash cards and I would look at them at a red light and repeat them to myself while I drove. I multi tasked nicely and it worked because I got an A+ on a very hard exam;) Oh, and make sure you tip at least two bucks to your delivery driver or go pick it up!!!Ü I also can't eat Pizza Hut anymore;)
3. I had a dream about my husband before we started dating. We've known each other since the 7th grade but I had only seen him once or twice after we graduated and this was like 5 years after. So it was quite odd for me to have a dream about him out of the blue. All morning I had this very strong feeling that I was supposed to call him but didn't want to because it had been so long. I finally gave in and called and GOT HIS ANSWERING MACHINE!!! I actually left a message and he called me back and the rest is history!!!
4. I have this huge fear of fire. I think it might be because our dryer caught fire when I was little and it has made me a little crazy about making sure that things are off. I will NEVER leave the house with the dryer on and I have to scan the house before I leave to make sure I have everything off. I will ask my husband if I turned something off and if I'm not sure, I will turn back around and check just in case. (Even if I'm almost to my destination) I know it's crazy but hopefully it makes my home safer.
5. I had two very easy labors and deliveries. My water broke with my first one and labor only lasted 6 hours with about 15 minutes of pushing. And my second one only lasted 5 hours without a lot of pushing either. I'm hoping that it decreases with each baby and my next will only last 4 hours!! Don't hate me!!!
I tag Jessica, Malissa and Tabatha;)
