1. How long have you been a Mum? Forever... ok not really, just buying time so I can figure out the days bit. 1 year, 8 months and 10 days!
2. How many children call you Mummy? One
3. Girl? Boy? or both?: Boy. A gorgeous boy!
4. Did you know what you were having? Yes, my pregnancy only felt real from the day we heard it was a boy! (20 weeks.) Then came the difficult part, a name.
5. How old were you when you became a Mum? 31
6. How long were you in labor? Contractions started at midnight and Dylan was born at 05.41. Short, although it didn't feel like it at the time.
7. What's your favorite thing about being a Mum? Hard one! That Dylan loves me no matter what! Play-playing his little made up games. Watching him sleep? Swapping stories with other moms. Not sure…
8. What's your least favorite thing? Getting up in the middle of the night when he has yet another cold and can’t sleep.
9. Do you want more kids? Yes.
10. Do you plan on having more soon? Maybe.
11. How many times have you been pee'd on? A couple.
12. Barfed on? Once, that was enough.
13. Is your child named after anyone? His second name is Jan, after Opa de Munnik.
14. How did you come up with their name? Months of stressing/thinking! We only came up with it about 2 weeks before he arrived.
15. When your child gets in trouble, who is the bad guy? I’m not sure I’d call it bad guy? But we can both be pretty stern.
16. What is the longest you have been away from your children? About 24 hours.
17. Bedtime routine? Dinner, playtime, bath, bottle, story, bed. Dylan loves it all, and so do we.
18. Are your toes painted? No. It’s always cold here so I always have socks on. Not even sure I still have toes…
19. Last movie you saw in the theatre? Wanted. Loved it.
20. One thing you will not give up just because you're a mum? Sleeping late. Ha ha, I wish.
21. One thing you did give up now that you're a mum: Sleeping late.
22. Best Mum perk: hmmm, don’t know.
23. Snack, you sneak bites from your child? You don’t?
24. When the kid is napping, you are: washing, ironing, tidying up, on the internet, reading magazines.
25. Where is your child(ren) now? Sleeping. Cuddled up with his fluffy sheep, dog, cat, monkeys and a giant bear.
26. Favorite place to buy maternity clothes? Don’t have one – battled to find decent stuff.
27. If I could do it over… I would!
28. Did it turn out the way you expected? It’s scarier - the responsibility bit I mean. But on the whole, it's more fun than I expected it to be.
Not sure there is anyone left to tag. Maybe Petra (although her children are pretty grown up!) and Wendy? Or Faye, even though she doesn't have a bogger blog?
This was taken 1 year, 8 months and 8 days ago!
