    Hahaa! I love random fact posts! I’m totally with you on #1 #15 and #18! You have me beat on #19 though. I had a C-section but it wasn’t my first surgery. My first one was when I had my wisdom teeth cut out. Actually, I don’t know if you should consider that a surgery when you compare it to a C-section, haha!!

    I don’t mind people chewing with their mouth open half as much as I mind the sound effects that some people make when they eat. Loud chewing drives me up the wall!!

    I actually cried when I heard I was having a boy – so I can totally relate. I had no clue what I would do with one. Now I couldn’t be happier – I’ve found my groove with raising a little boy. ๐Ÿ™‚
