I would be thrilled with either. DH is really hoping for 2 girls.

Most adventurous thing I've done is skydiving and bungee jumping and loved every second of it.
Last movie was a documentary about obesity.
Last time I cried was at my grandpa's funeral in February.
I am definitely a hugger.
Favorite thing about myself ... I try to reach out and acknowledge people (such as smiling at strangers, making an effort to remember names, holding open doors). My mom always said that you don't know what others are going through and sometimes they just need to be acknowledged. I have meet many interesting people because of this.
