Answer Me This: June Edition

http://www.catholicallyear.com/2015/06/answer-me-this-summer-summer-summertime.html

I have not done an Answer Me This in a while... so here it goes!


1. Any big plans for the summer?

Well we are having a baby boy soon!! Since I went in to preterm labor last week (they got the contractions to stop after a couple nights in the hospital), we are trying to hold out as long as we can before this little booger arrives. He is due July 22. I'll be 35 weeks along this Wednesday so here is to hoping I can keep him in long enough for no NICU visit. 

 34w+4d
 
 Other than this baby, nothing big planned here (just bed rest for the next week and visits to the pool with Agnes and my mother who came to help me for a week.

UNTIL this fall when we go to Colorado for baby boy's Baptism :)

2. What is the strangest thing you believed as a child?

I don't think I had any strange beliefs as a child. I believed in fairies, Santa Claus, Peter Pan, enchanted worlds, the usual... right? I never once believed that if I crossed my eyes for long enough they'd stay that way, or if I stepped on a crack I'd fall and break my back.

3. What is your favorite amusement park ride? (can be a specific one at a specific park or just a type of ride)

Tube slides... the fat ones that don't have drop offs or high grades. I'm not a fan of that stomach feeling you get on roller coasters. This is probably why I usually stay at the water park whenever I do visit an amusement park :P

4. What's on your summer reading list?

I usually take it one book at a time. At the moment I am reading anything and everything child birthing and pregnancy related (just to refresh). BUT I am on the hold list for Dana Perino's "And The Good News Is..."



My mother is a huge fan of the show, "The Five" on Fox News and her favorite anchor is Dana Perino. I sometimes turn it on when I think about it; it's informative and entertaining. My mom also recommends pretty good books so I just have to read this one!


5. Have you ever fallen asleep in public?

Not that I can recall. When I was little, sure, but as an adult I guess I'm just too observant (and probably afraid) of my surroundings and even being sleep deprived I can stay awake pretty well in public. 

6. What is your favorite smell?  

I love the smell of jasmine... lilacs... coconut lime lotion... cheeseburgers... bacon... How can anyone think of just ONE favorite smell?!!
