moped replied: YOu met Ben Affleck - OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HIM - I actually had a racey dream about him a while back - HOW NICE

GavinsMommy replied: i can't see my own pix...lmao

mammag replied: 1. What is the biggest change in your life since having little Gavin?

2. If you could look like anyone else who would it be? (And you're not allowed to say yourself )

3. What is the most exciting (besides having your baby) thing that has ever happened to you?

GavinsMommy replied:
yes...long time ago. i was 13 i think. i was on a trip to disney with my school. he was at mgm getting fitted for some costume. i think it is what he wore in the very end of pearl harbor but i'm not sure, bc pearl harbor came out a long time after that i think... . it was a plaid shirt and some pants. anyway, he wasn't very friendly. we met some guys that worked at mgm and me and the group i was going around with went on a tour of mgm and he was there. i didn't watch pearl harbor for the longest because i thought he was such a jerk.

GavinsMommy replied:
1. Well...nothing has really changed much since his birth except for no sleep. But I consider myself having had him since I was pregnant...so....probably having to move to somewhere I hate and having to adjust to being a wife and trying to accept someone that I mostly totally disagree with.

2. Giselle...think that is her name. She models for Victoria's Secret. I think she is SO pretty. But she sounds a little ditzy, that is just bc of her accent though. She is very intelligent.

3. Placing 3rd in a swimsuit competition in a fashion show. I was the lead overall though But it was really nice knowing that I placed 3rd in that...I hate my body, so it was a boost!

GavinsMommy replied: yayyyyyyyy i can see me now!

kimberley replied: pictures fixed. you are very pretty!

where would you like to see yourself in 5 yrs?

GavinsMommy replied:

In a house in Charleston, SC with Gavin and a new baby girl

Nope, not superstitious at all

3 words...I'm someone's Mommy Or if you meant this way...energetic, honest, funny (IRL )

Yes...I at least want a little girl.

TANNER'S MOM replied: What was your scariest moment?

What color is your toothbrush?

When do you feel the most relaxed?

BTW: My daughter loves Switchfoot..they are her fav. She went to some kind of Christain Rock Festival thing..when they first came out and LOVED them...

Mel

GavinsMommy replied:
When I found out I was pg and when I was at the very end of my pregnacy. I was horrified that when I gave birth something was going to happen to Gavin.

White and orange...it's a Colgate electric.

I feel the most relaxed when I'm laying on the couch watching TV and Gavin is BF

Switchfoot is a really good band, even anti-Christians like them

ediep replied: did you go to college?

do you like to cook?

Do you take Gavin food shopping or do you like to go alone?

Do you have any magazine subscriptions?

Do you use coupons?

kel replied:

GavinsMommy replied:

i like to go alone...w/ him if he isn't going to fuss.

nope

nope

GavinsMommy replied:
i'm 18

i wish i had dimples!

see above in questions

A&A'smommy replied: What do you do when your bored? besides get on here lol
What made you want to be a vegitarian?
When are you happiest?

also I have a question about soy milk I know you said it was bad for you so I was wondering what kind of milk you drink now because I'm thinking of switching

GavinsMommy replied:
I watch TV, play with Gav, talk on the phone

Bc of the way they treat the animals and all the GUNK in meat. But I'm not a veg anymore...I started eating meat again bc of the whole soy thing. All I was eating was mock meats made of soy...I'd rather eat meat if soy is that horrible.

I'm happiest when Gavin smiles at me

Either drink Fat free, Skim, or low fat milk bc there is less hormones from the cows....or drink rice milk. I drink both now.

3xmommy replied: What was the first thought to run through your mind when you saw Gavin for the very first time?

Can you remember what you said?

(all i could do was say oh my god and cry lol)

-Di

jcc64 replied: It seems to me you have some sort of modelling in your background. (or you should anyway). Is that something you're interested in pursueing?
If you could visit any country, what would it be and why?
If you inherited a large sum of money, and couldn't spend it on yourself or your family/loved ones, what would you do with it?
If you could change one non- physical thing about yourself/your life, what would it be?

GavinsMommy replied:
I just couldn't believe it. It was like a dream. My first thought when I saw him was that he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I said that he was beautiful and that he looked just like Jerimiah.

GavinsMommy replied:
About modeling. I modeled extensively during my childhood and the last work I did was just before I got pregnant. I could never model runway now. I was lucky to be abot to do it before I got pregnant because I am short. But now I never could. Runway is very demanding and I have nothing to do with Gavin. You have to be ready to go when and when they spring rehearsal and show stopper practice on you, and that isn't something I can do right now. I could do print, but I choose not to. I am more interested in acting, but I would rather get Gavin involved in something rather than myself. If that is something he would like to do.

I'd visit France because I know a bit of the language and I love the culture.

I'd submit it throughout the world to feed all of the starving children

I would change my marriage...enough said.

PascosGirl replied: Do you have plans to go to college?

What is your favorite smell??

If you had a choice would you want to be invisible or be able to fly?

GavinsMommy replied:
Yes, I do. I'd like to get an a degree in dental hygiene.

PINK by Victoria's Secret

Uh...that's a tough one. Being invisible would be fun, but I think it'd get old after a while. I used to have lots of dreams that I could fly when I was little. So I'm thinking the ability to fly.

PascosGirl replied:
Yeah, I always wanted to be like Tinkerbell.
