1) How long have you been a Mom? Almost over 9 years to my stepdaughter and over 7 to my eldest son.
2) How many children call you Mommy? 1 for sure; my teen is having "stepmother-itis" and isn't calling me much of anything nice right now... but she has always called me mom...2.
3) Girl? Boy? or both? 1 boy 1 girl (plus 1 stillborn boy child 4/25/07-Matthew Robert)

5) How old were you when you became a Mom? 37
6) How long were you in labor? C-section...sorry, none to speak of. Induced to deliver stillborn son.

10) Do you plan on having more soon? no, we did not plan to have Matthew last year...we were done then.
11) How many times have you been pee'd on? only once when he was pretty young. My eldest son and I were walking through a christian drama, I was carrying him and he got scared and had JUST been taken off diapers a week before and he "got me".
12) Barfed on? no, but I have been there for the teen MANY times when she was "getting better".
13) Is your child named after anyone? my son is named after my husband.
14) When your child gets in trouble, who is the bad guy? If he is in trouble, he is the "bad" guy...if you mean which parent ends up disciplining him; it is whichever one has to deal with the behavior, etc. Sometimes I am and sometimes my husband is...we take turns.
15) Bedtime routine? Last dvd of the night, wash up and get dressed for bed, have snack and then brush teeth. Read a little, say prayers and take him off to his bed and tuck him in. Saying "goodnight; don't let the bed bugs bite" and closing his door with " I love yous" and him blowing me kisses.
