1. It really pisses me off to no end when people mistakenly refer to a vaginal birth as a natural birth. Why are you scared to say vaginal???? That's what it was, use the friggin word. A natural birth is one without epidurals and drugs, and all the interventions. Get it straight. Rant over.
2. I had a NATURAL birth- epidural and drug free. And yes, I did it on purpose. I felt that was the best, healthiest, and most appropriate choice for Drake and I. That doesn't mean I think it's for everyone else.
3. My boxer Lucy and goldendoodle Linus are the coolest dogs in the entire world. I love them. They love Drake, and that makes me happy. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside when they are all chilled out together.
4. I really, really, really want a large master bedroom/suite with a huge master bath and closet. When I have that, I will know I've made it in life.
5. As much as I want to like working out, I simply don't. I feel good once it's done, but I simply can't make myself go to the gym.
6. I've completed numerous 5K's, an 8K, a half marathon, and a triathlon. All of this despite not liking the gym.
7. I'm super duper happy that I traveled before having kids. I would've really regretted not going to Europe before Drake.
8. I feel I grew up extremely sheltered, and no I don't think that's a good thing. I also think it's really hard to get a child to understand, that the rest of the world isn't exactly the same as where they are growing up.
9. I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE living in Charlotte. I throw a temper tantrum every time my husband suggests moving. I have awesome friends here.
10. Reading is my favorite thing ever. Especially the author Jodie Picoult. When I was little and would get money for birthdays and Christmas, I bought books instead of toys. Weird, I know.
11. I really love vacations and traveling. Particularly cruises and all inclusive resorts. Eric and I have been on 5 cruises together.
12. If I could choose to be really good at something, it would be photography. I enjoy taking and looking at beautiful photos.
13. I think that the meanest and most hurtful thing someone can ever say to me is that I'm a selfish and bad mother. I try to give everything to Drake.
14. I thought I'd be good at getting Drake on a schedule, and letting him cry it out in order to achieve that. But I suck. I simply can't let him cry. I don't give a crap if he's never on a precise schedule, I'm not letting him lay there and scream.
15. I've discovered that my beliefs meet many of the attachment parenting ideals. Pretty much all of them except cosleeping.
16. Breastfeeding is something I'm passionate about. It was even before I had Drake. I can't comprehend why people choose not to even try, and can't talk about it with people who choose that. It gets me really worked up. And if someone ever says anything to me about nursing in public, I will light their ass up.
17. Me and my girlfriends here in Charlotte call our little group "The Sugars". The way that name came about is too scandalous to put on a blog that my grandmother reads. Sorry Sissy!
18. I want a backyard pool. A heated pool. With a hottub that overflows into the pool. And cool patio furniture. Think southern california mansion backyard.......
19. I cloth diaper my son. Yes I like it. No I don't think it's gross. Don't knock it unless you've tried it.
20. I love researching things that impact Drake. Right now it's all about vaccinations. I plan to delay/selectively/non vax to some degree. Ultimately, he will get what he needs for school.....but I'm not giving my child 4-6 freaking vaccinations at one time. I truly think that is absurd.
21. I think it's sad that I can't think of 4 more things about me; they all focus around Drake.
22. I used midwives for my pregnancy care, and for Drake's delivery. They rock. I will never use another OB, unless I have to for a high risk situation.
23. I'm on team Aniston. I think Angelina is a husband stealing bitch. But I also admire her humanitarian work.
24. I would love to adopt a child, particularly a mixed race child. Unfortunately, my husband has no desire to adopt.
25. It annoys me that people think I help a doctor give anesthesia. I do it myself thank you very much!
