1. I have 3 tattoos- one for each of my graduations (high school, college, med school) 2. I minored in Asian Religions in college and did a traditional Hindu dance as part of my final project. It was pretty cool. 3. All 3 of my babies will have been born in different states (PA, MD, VA)

1) After much research, only about 7 people in the entire world have my first name. It’s unique, but not “u-neek”.
2) I must carry some weird chromosome that gives my baby a double of something. My son was born with two pee holes, and my daughter has double butt cracks (her butt crack starts, then stops, then starts again).
3) When I was 2 months old, I died three times from being born with a bad sodium deficiency. I was also in a coma for a month.
Those are some great facts lgsdesigner... holy shit to having died 3 times!!!
1. I'm the middle child of 9 kids... yes, all from the same mother and father. 2. My favorite food in the entire world is elbow macaroni with butter and ketchup... its something I grew up on that mostly everyone I meet thinks is the grossest thing in the entire world. 3. DH and I were born 5 days apart, in the same hospital, on the same floor. Too bad it wasn't closer together, we could say we met in the nursery after being born ;-)

1. I married my high school sweetheart. We were together for 10 years before we got married, we never broke up or took a break. We agreed to go to different colleges and I even studied abroad for a semester and he was extremely supportive and encouraging, even when I called him crying homesick.
2. My dads side of the family is Syrian and Ukrainian so I can make some sweet dishes from the home land. My big brother loves when I cook thing like grapes leave and tabbouleh for him.
3. Dh and I have only had one sex partner, each other, and we started so young that after 11.5 years of sex I'm somewhat surprised we never had a pregnancy "scare", then we started trying about 2 years after we were married and got lucky!
1. I have a twin sister. We've been told we are fraternal because we each had out own everything (placentas/sacks etc) but apparently there is like an 8% chance that identical twins can each have their own of everything too, if the egg splits early enough. We look EXACTLY the same, had our tonsils out the same day, identical jaw surgery the same day too. My sister is also due in June (not twin related, obviously).
2. I had a dog that I grew up with that lived to 18 years.
3. All of my boyfriends (except 1) were Leo's. The one that wasn't a Leo was a Cancer, born on the cusp of being a Leo (missed it by 1 or 2 days). Not going to mention how many boyfriends that was though...
1. I'm terrible with money. My husband handles all the financial stuff at our house. I know I should take a bigger role in it, but I'm really not interested and I am so seriously terrible at managing money it's probably actually better for all of us if I step back.
2. I do not enjoy cooking or baking. Never have, never will. The entire time I lived by myself, I don't think I turned the oven on one single time. I make dinner now most nights, but only because I SAH and I feel like it's part of the job description.
3. I've had the same best friend for over 25 years. Now she lives in Colorado and I live in Texas, but we still talk several times a week.

- I excelled in gymnastics when I was very young, and by three could do a series of back flips and all kinds of jumps.
- I broke my first bone when I was three and practicing gymnastics on my baby brother's crib. History is going to repeat itself with DS, I can already tell.
- DH and I found out after we were married that we belonged to the same play group as toddlers. As far as we knew, we met in college.

amylee545 - Yeah, it was bad. I couldn't imagine what my parents went through.
That is so cool about you and your DH! Actually kind of romantic, and definitely adorable.
1. I don't know how to ride a bike. My boyfriend often makes fun of me for this and says that he'll have to teach our son and myself at the same time.
2. I was a vegetarian before finding out that I'm pregnant and then the cheeseburger cravings hit me hard. I do plan on going back to my vegetarian diet after the baby is born because I felt better. I became a vegetarian strictly for health reasons and my body just felt better after the switch.
3. I've never been out of the U.S. before and I hope to do so sometime before I die. Even if it's just Canada or Mexico. I'm not picky.
1) I have weirdly double-jointed elbows and can turn my arm inside out. My parents used to get me to do it at parties to freak out their drunk unsuspecting friends. 2) I have a fairly substantial scar on my head (my hair covers is for the most part) from a surgery when I was 1 to remove a spot that was deemed to be cancer. It wasn't and the doc that performed the surgery later lost his license for other reasons. The scar was supposed to be the size of a fine line and it's still a sore spot with my mom. 3) I figure skated competitively for 15 years. I love it and can't wait to buy DD her first pair of figure skates. It's an ongoing joke/debate between DH and I whether she'll figure skate or play hockey.
1) I'm not in the US, I currently live in Belgium which is also not my home country. No one believes me I'm not American because I speak with a US accent for all my years in the US school in Ecuador
2) I hate Belgian chocolate... Hate it. I bring a suitcase filled with Ecuadorean chocolate every time we fly.
3) I cannot eat flan. The texture makes me hurl almost immediately.

1. when I was younger, my uncle got me into acting. I did a series of commercials (for Toyota and Breyers Ice Cream) and I was a call back for the part of Jessica in Sleepless in Seattle. Oddly enough, my brother now lives out in LA pursuing a career in acting.
2. I just recently found out that my husband and I lost our virginity to each other. I knew I lost mine to him (obviously) but I didn't realize I was his first. He fibbed a little when we first started dating to impress me. ::eye roll::
3. This is not really about me- more about my parents- but there is a big age gap between my three older brothers and I because my parents took in foster kids for 7 years. They hosted about 5 kids, the last one, JJ was for about 3 years. I know it was really hard for my parents to give him back because he had become part of the family.

That's really cool! There is a huge age difference between my aunt and my dad. My grandmother stared taking in foster kids when my dad and uncle left for college. My aunt was her last one, and when her bio-mom gave up rights my grandma adopted her.
I really hope to foster/adopt when my kids get older.

1. I HATE sunflowers. They legit freak me out. 2. Dragonflies scare the piss out of me. 3. There are some days that I love my dog more than my husband.
1. I am accident prone- I have shattered my knee and broken 2 bones all in my right leg. 2. I got married this past August on the 9th. 3. I am a diehard football fan. The patriots are my team but I watch as many football games as I can.
That is a St. Bernard in your avatar right?? I ask because my parent's anniversary is August 9th and they too have a St. Bernard.

1. I am the kind of nurse the believes "emotional/soul healing" is just as important as medical healing. I spend a large amount of my time with patients just visiting 2. My husband and I used to breed and raise Pugs, English Bull Dogs, and Boston Terriers (breeding them sounds weird- they bred each other Even though we raised the a fore mentioned dogs, and still have them- a Shiba is my favorite breed. I love everything about them, even the things that annoy me about them. 3. I have a very eclectic taste in music. I literally drive my family crazy by knowing most songs that come on, on about any station. Well besides rock and heavy metal and most rap.
1. I am the only girl of 3 older brothers, so we'll say I def kicked some ass growing up lol.
2. Dh persistently tried to date me for over a year and im so glad he didnt give up bc I was dumb. He is an amazing/caring husband/person and I feel really lucky to have him in my life
3.even though I'm a big "bitch" aka i don't take shit from anyone. I usually cry at the dumbest things. Like really dumb my friends find it hilarious

@christieb27 My parent's St. Bernard is definitely the best dog they have ever had. Such a great personality and listens really well!! I agree with you, I 100% love dogs (specifically my dog) more than most humans.
1.) I love dancing! Ballroom, salsa, hip hop, zumba, belly, dabkeh. All of it. I'm only average at it though. 2.)DH and I have been to: Vietnam, Greece, Panama, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. We love to travel. 3.) I'm eating dry cereal straight from the box right now and there is embarrassingly little left. I'm thinking I should just finish it.
1. I'm very much the baby of my family. My sibs are 10, 14, and 16 years older than me and my mom had me when she was 40. Needless to say, I was very much a surprise.
2. I love football and know a lot about it.
3. I've never played in snow. I've seen it on the side of the road while driving on the mainland and i've touched it but I was always too cold to actually hold it in my hands or play with it.
1. I was the ultimate nightmare pregnancy, according to my mother. She broke her foot, fell down the stairs, slipped on ice, and had chicken pox all while she was pregnant with me. I was a hellion from day one, apparently. (Incidentally, my baby is due on the day I was supposed to be born, but I was 2 weeks late! Here's hoping that this won't happen with mine lol)
2. I love cartoons and animation! This always throws people off for some reason, though now that I'm expecting a baby I suppose there is more of an excuse?
3. I've been terrified of driving since I got pregnant! I know it's irrational but that doesn't stop it from being super intense. Hopefully that will die down once I deliver...
1. I am extremely close with my family-my parents are amazing and I see/talk to them a few times a day. My sister is 10 years older than me and my brother is 14 years older (yes same mom and dad) but we are all very very close
2. Growing up I was a vegetarian. I started eating meat again in my early 20s. Every time I'm pregnant, I turn back into a vegetarian bc meat nauseates me
3. DH and I are in love with Aruba. It is our favorite place to visit (besides going to the Greek islands for our honeymoon). We try to go almost every year
