90. My water never broke with my first 3 kids. The doctor had to do it. When my water broke with my 4th I felt like a dummy calling the on call doctor. I was scheduled to be induced that morning at 7am but ended up there at 3:30am cause of my water breaking.

91. I had to have my wedding band cut off when I was pregnant with my first because my finger got too swollen. I learned my lesson and took it off when I got pregnant again.

  4. Thanks for reading it all Jen :)

    Aww That is awesome you got to go Jen. I really really want to go. It costs so much to fly there. We don't have any credit cards that have miles on them. I know that is how a lot of people get there. We will have to look into getting a card that has miles on it.

    Yes barefoot all the way. My kids are the same way about shoes.
