With the upcoming arrival of baby Brown, we have been getting lots of questions from loved ones, so we thought it would be fun to do a pregnancy interview to help answer all your questions!
Q: When are you due?
A: March 22nd, 2010
Q: How far along does that make you?
A: 14 weeks
Q: Katie, how have you been feeling?
A: It hasn’t been the easiest 14 weeks but I know I have certainly had it easier than a lot of women. I tend to get sicker as the days go on and it really hits hard in the evenings and therefore have not been sleeping well. But the past couple days have seen a bit of relief so I have hope that the ‘morning sickness’ is beginning to fade!
Q: Are you going to find out if it’s a boy or a girl?
A: Most definitely not. This is something that is really important to us and feel this is one of life’s great secrets so we want to embrace that.
Q: Will you have the baby in Scotland?
A: Yes, the baby will be born in Edinburgh at the local hospital, but sadly it will not be a British citizen, just plain old American.
Q: Katie, will you go back to work after the baby is born?
A: No. The maternity leave here is 6+ months long and we are hoping to be back in the States before the baby is 6 months old!
Q: Do you have names picked out?
A: Yes, we do have names (both first and middle) picked out for both a boy and a girl, but you will have to wait until baby Brown reveals him/herself to the world to find out!
Q: What have you enjoyed about being pregnant so far?
A: Umm…not much so far, though the fact that there is a child growing inside of me is a pretty amazing thing. I look forward to when pregnancy is enjoyable. That does happen, right?
Derek’s answer: watching my wife inhale food like a trash compactor.
Q: Derek, how have you enjoyed the process?
A: Well, I feel fairly worthless since Katie is the one who is sick all the time and suffering. That said, I’m enjoying all the extra eating we are doing!
Feel free to pose any questions if you have them.
We conclude this post with a pic of Katie at 14 weeks.
