10 things...

I have seen on a couple different blogs people listing the top 10 things you don't know about them and people listing the top 10 things about their children. I have decided to both.

First, the top 10 things you may or may not know about me:
1. I am fearful of velour. Yes, I said fearful. The thought of velour sends chills down my spine and the touch of it makes me want to be sick.
2. I love thunderstorms but am ALWAYS afraid that they will turn into a tornado. My favorite time for a thunderstorm is early morning.
3. I have grown my hair out and donated it twice. I am currently growing it out again to donate again. I will continue to do so until I am unable to. I am lucky to be able to grow my hair long and its my little something I can do to try to make the world better for someone.
4. I loved cheerleading my whole life. I cheered in high school and college but only a few people from after high school know that I didn't make the squad my freshman year but was the first person from my high school to go on to cheer in college and on a scholarship may I add. Just proves that you can do anything you put heart into.
5. I met my husband at my first job after college. He was able to give "over rides" and when he was out on the floor I would find an account that needed an "over ride" just to get him to come to my computer.
6. I have had 4 cars in my driving life. I started out with a 1973 VW bug, moved onto a 1996 periwinkle Dodge Neon, bought my Honda Civic after college (which I still have) and bought a 4 door black Jeep Wrangler with Big A as our first big purchase as a couple.
7. I have the uncanny ability to remember what people were wearing at big life events but I can't remember what I wore two days ago:)
8. My daughter was a complete surprise. We were not planning to get pregnant when we did and I had myself convinced for three weeks that I had the stomach flu even though Big A and my mom were both saying that they thought I was pregnant.
9. I almost died during child birth. I ended up having to have a c-section and I was allergic to the drugs given in my spinal, had a severe anaphylactic reaction and completely stopped breathing. I was not stable enough to meet my daughter till nearly 4 hours after she was born.
10. My husband is 14 years older than me but we had no idea there was an age difference till we went out to celebrate a friends engagement (Miss Priss's mommy I'm talking to you:)) with them and we saw each others id's when we got carded.

Now for Little Lady's top 10 things you may or may not know about her:
1. She likes to play in her crib during the day but hates sleeping in it.
2. She has always loved her bath, it's her favorite time of day.
3. She is already a ham. She starts smiling and laughing the moment she sees the camera coming.
4. She will watch TV as long as its on Nick Jr. Her favorite is Yo Gabba Gabba. We dvr it and it gives me a guaranteed 30 minutes to get the kitchen cleaned every day. Her favorite Yo Gabba character is Toodee and she has a little stuffed Toodee that she sleeps with.
4. At my baby shower I received a bath set that came with a little plastic blue hippo. That same little plastic blue hippo is by FAR her favorite toy and must go with us everywhere.
5. She has only had one bottle of formula. This was when she was in NICU and I was not allowed to see her yet and she needed fed right after she was born.
6. She never learned to drink breastmilk out of a bottle so I have to be available for every feeding.
7. She can say Mama and Dada. She is working on Sissy and the cats name.
8. She started army crawling at 5 months but didn't crawl on all 4's till 7 months.
9. She can stand on her own but won't take a step on her own.
10. She hates baby food. She would prefer that I stop introducing food to her and just let her live off breastmilk, baby prunes, cheerios, baby green beans, and water in a sippy cup. But Mama doesn't want a picky eater so I bribe her with cheerios to try new things.
