Thursday 13 Baby Quiz Answers!

Sorry for the delay, Pop-Pop had said he posted some answers but they never showed up on the blog. So I was waiting on his answers! Thank you for answering the quiz, even Jonathan was confused about some of the answers!

Please answer the questions with:
a. marley
b. carpenter
c. sadie
d. rowan

1. Who had to stay in the NICU for 24 days?
That was b. carpenter. Carpenter was 5 weeks early and had to stay in the NICU for 24 days til he was feeding regularly. You would never guess he had any problems by how much he eats now!

2. Who had the hiccups when they were being born?
That was a. marley. Marley had the hiccups when she was being born. All the doctors, nurses, and my mom just stopped and started laughing because they had never seen this before. At the time I didn't think this was funny. Marley was not all the way out, and I didn't want to stop! I wanted to hurry up and have this baby!

3. Who was almost delivered by a nurse? Hint there are two babies!
b. carpenter and d. rowan. The nurses were really about to catch Carpenter! And they told me to stop pushing with Rowan because the doctor was not there yet! It is hard to stop pushing when your body is really pulling you to do so. It was closer than I would like it to be. But the nurses are very capable of having a successful delivery, they do alot of the work anyways!

4. Who was our smallest baby?
b. carpenter. Carpenter was our tiniest baby at 4 lbs. and 8 oz. He was just so little! I still keep his little preemie onesie in his clothing drawer to remind me how small he was!

5. Who was our largest baby?
c. sadie. Sadie was 6lbs. and 12 oz. Rowan came in a close second with 6lbs. and 10 oz.
6. Who was I not one day sick with?
a. marley. I think God knew that I was really young and was very kind to me. I was never a day sick with Marley. Marley was a very good baby. She slept through the night early and potty trained real easily. I was so sick with everyone else. I went in to be induced with Sadie and I threw up that morning. All I could think was this sickness would be gone in a little bit.

7. Who did I have gestational diabetes with?
d. rowan. I was totally shocked I had GD at all. I could tell something was different this pregnancy, I was always tired! But getting GD was a very good thing for me, it got me off my addiction to mountain dew. Yes, you may know that I am a square. But Mountain Dew was my fix! I have not had a sip since being diagnosed! The nurses and doctors were surprised that I had GD, but that is why they said they tested everyone. Even the smallest little person could get it! The GD diet was awesome! It really made sense and I was very healthy! I need to go back to it! But I am breastfeeding and eating us out of home!

8. Who was delivered by Dr. Bailey? The other 3 were delivered by the same doc. Extra points if anyone knows the name of the other doc. Sorry the grandparents may be the only one who knows that extra one!
c. sadie was deliver by Dr. Bailey! He was the youngest doctor at the practice. Dr. Demosthenes deliver everyone else. I couldn't believe it. There are doctors in the practice. But my favorite doctor, Dr. Chasedunn-Roark didn't deliver any of my babies.

9. Which baby caused Jonathan to pass out?
a. marley. Jonathan almost passed out during Marley's ultrasound! And he almost passed out during her delivery. But he made it through! He got braver with each delivery! No chord cutting from him! Jonathan says that is what the doctors are paid for!

10. Which baby had acid reflux and a milk allergy?
c. sadie. Sadie's acid reflux was horrible! Projectile vomiting everywhere. I would always have to bring her a change of clothes and myself! I still breastfed Sadie I just avoided milk products. Did you know that hot dogs have milk in them?

11. Which baby did I pump for a year with?
b. carpenter. Carpenter was given a feeding tube and was a bottle feeder. This was so the doctors int he NICU could monitor how much he was eating! My favorite moment in the NICU, was at the end of Carpenter's stay in the hospital. When you are in the NICU, you have to wear gloves and a gown. We'll I got to try to breastfeed Carpenter. I got to feel his bare skin on my bare skin! It was wonderful, heavenly. When you have to always feel your baby through a barrier, it was so magically being able to touch him! Did the breastfeeding go well? No, he was used to the bottle! Disappointment! But I wanted to do my best for him. By this time you have met with the geneticist and are worried about everything that could go wrong. So I continue to pump to give him the best that God has made!

12. Which two babies were induced?
c. sadie and d. rowan. I was kind of upset that they did not get to pick their birthdays! But Jon said it was better this way because we had a ton of kids and it would be easier for our family to plan on when to help.

13. Which baby was the cutest!?!
All of the above! I love Marley's cute freckles on her nose! I love Carpenter's skin(he has the dark skin tone from the mexican side) and his wrinkly hands! I love Sadie's eyes. She has the biggest eyes and the longest lashes. And the cutest lips! I love Rowans crooked smile! Also I love smelling the top of his head, I just suck in that wonderful baby smell! Yum!

And the winner is......Kelly Towery Watson! I can't believe you beat my mom! She was actually there for every birth!
