Pregnancy

Overall, being pregnant was a lot of fun. There were moments of pain and lots of discomfort, but overall, I felt awesome.  I was really lucky and didn't get sick. I got super hungry all the time and if I waited too long to eat I would start to feel sick. Buuuuut that would happen to me before I was pregnant anyway, it was just amplified, so I was used to it. I worked part time doing hair until 3 weeks before Quinton came. Most of my shifts were four hours long since standing on my feet for that long started to get pretty dang tiring. But I loved having something to do and doing hair. Then I had three weeks to enjoy getting everything baby ready! The best thing was that I felt Quinton move constantly and I NEVER got tired of it.  There would be times I'd be cutting someones hair and he'd start kicking really hard and I was certain that if the client were to look at my belly, they'd see it moving all around like crazy. It was a lot of fun. There was nothing that was more awesome than feeling him kick and move around in my belly!! My favorite was whenever I crossed my arms over my belly, Quinton would kick back. Needless to say, I had my arms crossed over my belly often.  Toward the end of the pregnancy I kept waiting for the feeling I kept hearing girls talk about when they were just" DONE being pregnant" and wanted their baby out because they felt so uncomfortable and miserable.  Well I remember at my doctors appointment the day before Quinton came the nurse called me back and asked how I was feeling.  I remember telling her that I honestly wished I felt worse to know it was getting closer. She just laughed at me and said she'd never heard anyone tell them they wished they felt worse. I seriously felt great all the way up until the day he came. I felt very blessed for such an easy, uncomplicated pregnancy.
