Bump up ahead!

So as many of y'all have guessed from my last post.... I'M PREGNANT!!!

Quentin and I are very excited and want this precious child to be here already.
We want it to be a girl and Quentin says he has this feeling that it will be a girl. We have chosen a name for her but just in case it isn't a girl we have boy names for back up.

It is cute when we say our night prayers and it is Quentin's turn. He always mentions the baby and how happy he is that Heavenly Father is trusting us to be parents. He prays for the baby's health and that I will have strength. He says some other tender things but I can't remember them right now. Just know that Quentin is very excited and anxious! And his wish is coming true! He will be a dad before he turns thirty.

I have been feeling okay but at the same time horrible. My morning sickness is worse in the evening and my whole body hurts. In the morning I eat crackers and drink ginger ale. That usually helps me get through the day, I still eat of course. My cravings are Mexican food, ice cream, and salad! In the beginning I was eating a bunch of sugar and now I am eating a lot of healthy food.

It hurts to wear a bra and pants with a button. Merritt and I recently went to DI to go shopping and I found some comfortable prego pants. They look so weird but oh so nice to wear. I don't need shirts yet but the shirts I do have, you can see my fat belly now. I use to be so skinny, but I don't care because I am having a baby! My friend, Amanda, is always touching my belly and saying, "Hi baby!" She cracks me up.

I sleep a lot which is okay because I have nothing else to do. I am off track from school and am very bored! So I sleep, eat, do a little something, then go back to sleep. It is a new routine of mine. Last night, I feel asleep at six and woke up at eight. Quentin turns to me and says, "Can we eat dinner now? I am starving and have been waiting for you to wake up!" That is the only down side to me sleeping to much, Quentin has to wait to eat with me.

For those peeps of mine who have been pregnant, I could really use some advice, suggestions, anything! I am scared because this is all so new to me, but I am grateful to become a mother and am so excited for this baby to come in our lives.

Late night discussions

For those of you who are friends with Quentin on Google Talk, I have to explain his status.
Those of you who are not Quentin's friends on Google Talk, his status is quoting me, "I thought you meant something serious, like cracker serious!"

On with the story now....

One late evening while tucking ourselves into bed, I found a cracker crumb in our bed.
I asked him how it got in the middle of the bed and he said that he didn't know.
( FYI I eat crackers and drink ginger ale in the morning before I get out of bed...I eat over the edge of the bed so the crumbs will fall to the floor,I will explain in a different post)
I didn't know how it got there either. Quentin suddenly jumped out of the blankets and leaned on his knees bending over his pillow. He said, "I think you need to understand something, if the ocean was this big, (holding his index finger and thumb up closely together, like when you are describing to someone how small something was), then my love for you is THIS BIG(stretching out his arms which obviously was bigger than the ocean)."

I smiled and then I said, "I thought you meant something serious!"
He got a little upset and said, "My love for you is serious!"
I then explained myself and replied, "I know your love for me is serious, I thought you meant something cracker serious!"

He then looked at me and started laughing and then I realized what I said was funny and stupid at the same time.
He then said that he was going to put that as his Google Talk status and I yelled, "NO!!!!".
Quentin then emailed himself to remind him to put it as his status in the morning.

I woke up and went over to Quentin who was already on his computer, we kissed.
I looked at his screen and saw that he was talking to Briar (his sister) and her comment was, "I like your status".
I then automatically looked at him and said, "You didn't! Quentin! Now people are going to know how weird I am."

He doesn't mind, but now that I look back, it is funny.
