100 Things

Totally stole this from Allison. Thought it would be a good way to get this blog thing started. And really, what else do I have to do? Sleep? Ha! Don't be ridiculous.

1. I'm married to Colt.
2. Our four year anniversary is in 5 days.
3. We picked the date, 09.08.07, so that it would be easy for HIM to remember.
4. The date has probably saved my butt more than it has his.
5. I met Colt when I was only 13 years old!
6. We met in Oklahoma.
7. We have two dachshunds, Luke and Wilbur, who pretty much rule our lives.
8. Luke and Wilbur have a rude awakening coming in about 6 weeks.

11. Our pregnancy was not planned, but we are excited anyway.
12. I'm horrified of giving birth.
13. I have been pretty lucky with a normal pregnancy.
14. We have been attending a birthing class (my idea).
15. I have hated almost every moment of the birthing class, while Colt seems to thoroughly enjoy it.
16. Colt learned he can catch the baby and now thinks he wants to do this.
17. I do not understand why anyone, including the doctor, would want to catch the baby.

22. Even though I hate hospitals, a home birth is not an option for me.
