I thought I would once again go with Ten on Tuesday. A set of 10 random questions that let you get 10 random bits of information about me. Questions are from
here.1. What is the worst compliment you have ever received?
This past week I got a fun one. "I sometimes forget your pregnant and then I see you and it's like, whoa! You are just getting so big!" Yep that one felt good, thankfully I was in a sort of crabby mood and I'm really good at just smiling and changing the topic when I want to yell at someone. (I put this as a compliment because the person really thought it was a compliment! )
2. Did you/would you tell everyone the name of your baby before they were born, keep it a secret, or not choose until after they were born?
Well we have 2 names picked out for each gender. We haven't shared these with anyone and wont until baby comes and we know if we have a son or daughter. Then we can reveal all the surprises at once!
3. What is your favorite candle smell?
There are just too many to choose from, depending on the situation. I love the apple cinnamon candle that my mom burns around Christmas time, I love the calming effect of vanilla candles and I could go on and on.
4. What is the best birthday/Christmas gift you received when you were pregnant or the best birthday/Christmas gift you gave a pregnant person that was really appreciated?
Well very few people knew that I was pregnant on my last birthday. But I did get some gifts that I loved. I got some shirts that hide a growing belly without being maternity shirts. That was a nice feeling to be comfy without baggy at that time. I also got a super comfy deck lounger that I spent my birthday afternoon snoozing on. I still think that there is some sort of drug in there, because as soon as I sit down on it I start dozing off.
5. Who was your favorite teacher?
I think that would be my HS history teacher Mr. Preston. He had a great way of making you learn, and making you want to learn, while keeping everything very entertaining.
6. What is the best game/activity you have ever played at a baby shower?
I really dislike shower games. I get that they get people to interact and chat a bit, but they just are really hard to get some that aren't super cheesy and annoying.
7. What was your major in college and did you end up using it in your career?
Nope, I just got my A.A. and that isn't all that helpful in being a secretary or growing a baby.
8. What is a beauty product you swear by?
I love Mary Kay's night emollient (sp?) cream. Since the winters here get very cold and dry, dry skin is a huge problem. This stuff (its in the Satin Hands kit - but I usually don't use it on my hands) works great on dry lips, eye lids, or any other area that gets dried out easily. Takes care of the problem right away.
9. What is the kindest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
I probably am not nearly aware as I should be, but one time that sticks out was a month ago or so. I was in line at a grocery store and the place was nuts. I jumped in a line and the older gentlemen in front of me noticed I had a cart load and let me go ahead of him as he didn't have that many things.
10. If you could recommend one new baby necessity, what would it be?
Well I can't really recommend anything yet, but the items that have been most recommended to me are a good infant carrier, like a Moby wrap or sling, and the Aden and Anais swaddling blankets. So I guess I should get these and in a few months I can tell you if they are a necessity or not! - So if any of you have any suggestions, I would love to hear about them!
