New life experiences

I just have to say that Quentin and I's nights laying in bed before going to sleep are hilarious. And this is what this post is about, another one of our discussions in bed before falling asleep.

Earlier this week, right before bed, I got this nasty feeling in my throat. It kind of hurt too and and I didn't like breathing at that point. I was pushing on my throat to see if the feeling would go away or move down but it didn't. I told Quentin that my throat hurt. He asked me to describe what it was that I was feeling. I described what I was feeling to him and he laughed.

He told me that I was feeling heart burn. And laughed again. I questioned him and said, "I thought heart burn was near your heart.?" He told me that the name is confusing but you feel it in your throat. I then said out in rage, "SO THE COMMERCIALS LIED TO ME?!"
He then laughed again (He does that a lot, he says that he is laughing because I am so cute and adorable, but I don't know).He told me to go chew some Tums because that would help with the acid. After I chewed some delicious and chalky Tums, I felt better.

The next morning we had a discussion about heart burn. I have to say that I honestly didn't know what heart burn was until Quentin told me. He says that he has never experienced it before but he knows what it is. He also eat Tums for fun, "because they taste good".This just goes to show you that you shouldn't watch television when you are young because you just ignore what they teach you in high school. Then when you actually hear the truth about it you feel dumb. I have never experienced heart burn either so I am assuming it comes with being pregnant.

And hey, you learn something new everyday, in this case, night!? I certainly did.

Baby stuff!

Baby Update!

I know that there are going to be a lot of these so get over it. It is what I think about everyday now.

This Friday I have a checkup at the doctors and I will 23 weeks this Saturday. YIPPEE! Halfway there!

While my family was visiting me and Quentin two weeks ago my mom gave us their crib that they used for two or three of her kids. So I got a free crib! Quentin and I went to Deseret Industries to donate some stuff that I didn't need anymore. Quentin suggested we go look and see if they have a car seat. We looked around and couldn't find one but instead found an outfit that we both like for a boy and an outfit for a girl. We decided to buy them both.

We get to the checkout lane and the cash registrar lady saw our purchases and told us that she has a lot of baby girl clothes that her child doesn't need anymore. She told us that a lot of the ladies in her ward are having boys. Chrisma (that is her name) asked us if we were interested in having them. I was thrilled at the idea of receiving free baby clothes so I said yes. She told us when she worked next. Yesterday we went to DI and picked up the clothes. She is such a wonderful person she was offering to give us her bassinet. 

I am grateful to have a lot of the baby's stuff checked off our list. We have the crib set up in her room along with her dresser. We have some clothes now to put in her dresser. It is so exciting setting up a room for a baby. I can't wait till she is in this world! haha I laid some of her clothes on her bed and Quentin goes in that room to open the window. I hear him laughing. He comes back out to the living room and just smiles. I was confused and said, "WHAT!?" He laughed and said, "You are so adorable! Laying her clothes out! Why do you have them out?" I said, "I just want to see them!" We both laughed. Is it so wrong to see cute baby girl clothes laid out? NO! 

Lately I have been feeling the baby move which is okay. She kicks me a lot and that is kind of painful. One night last week before bed she was kicking a lot and I grabbed Quentin's hand and put it on my belly so he could feel too. Immediately he felt her kick and he smiled. I looked down at my belly and then back at him and found that his eyes were tearing up. I laughed a little and asked if he was crying! He replied, "You get to feel her kick all the time! This is my first time!" I felt bad for laughing after he said that. It was a tender moment for him.

Now when Emma kicks, Quentin puts his hand on my belly and calms her down. It is amazing! He is going to be such a wonderful father. I might post a picture of my 23 week belly! People on Facebook have been asking me about it. We will see.
