Life is Grand!


Well, I am officially launching my blog! I have been meaning to do this for quite some time, but I felt as if this was a great time in order to keep everyone up to date with the upcoming arrival of Baby Quattlebaum. Yes, we are ecstatic that we will be welcoming a new baby into this world in July of 2013.

As of this past Tuesday, I am 13 weeks pregnant. My 27th Birthday is this Tuesday, January 29, and I will be 14 weeks pregnant.

  • When did you find out you were pregnant? We actually found out on November 24, 2012. We knew we wanted to add another Quattlebaum to the clan, so I couldn't hardly wait to find out for sure. We were actually going to buy a dog that day, and decided to take a pregnancy test, and if it was positive, we wouldn't buy the dog, and behold... it was POSITIVE!! So we'll wait on a family dog! :-)
  • Who was the first person you told and their reactions? Of course, Kevin and I found out at the same time, and we were ecstatic. His grandmother was the first person I called, because she was patiently waiting for us to give her another great-grandchild. She was so excited that she was in tears.
  • What are your cravings? I am craving sushi, only because my mind knows that I cannot have it! :-( Bummer!
  • Do you have morning sickness? Not anymore, but I definitely did in the very beginning, I am so glad that it has subsided!
  • Do you have a strong feeling about the sex of the baby? I am hoping and praying for a boy, mainly because we already have our little girl, and I want to experience being a mommy to a boy. But of course, I  will be happy with a happy, healthy boy or girl.
  • What are some of your choices for names? If the baby is a girl, her name will be Khloe Taylor, and for a boy, it will either be Kyle Dylan or Kyle Dennis (my father's middle name is Dennis.) My initials are 'KDQ' and Kevin's are 'KTQ', so we decided to let girls have Kevin's intials (Kirsten Tenay), and boys would have my initials! Cheesy? Maybe a bit!  
We have about 3 more weeks before we know if I am carrying Khloe or Kyle, and of course, we will let you all know. I will also post a belly pic on Tuesday at my 14 week mark! It's 1:09am, and I'm too lazy to post one now! But stay tuned...
