no longer a teen? and get excited!

first: today was the big 20- woohoo! i have the left the world of teen things and become... not an adult. why? because i still can't 1-drink and 2- gamble in casinos. because apparently, those things are for responsible adults. but i can still vote, get married, get a credit card, buy a car, house, etc. woop dee doo. (just kidding on most of that- i LOVE my husband and being married and i LOVE my house!)
the first thing i did this morning was go back to sleep. then i waited for my wonderful husband to wake up, and he asked what i wanted for breakfast in bed. i asked for cream of wheat because thats the only thing that sounded remotely good. i guess now would be a good time to announce to those who dont know that we are having a baby! (i gave up on trying to keep it secret because there are too many people i want to tell!) and today was my first official morning sickness. i only managed to eat a few bites before dry heaving my way to the bathroom. we had no crackers in the house, and so i dressed, drove to the store, bought a cart full of crackers and ginger ale (while an old lady behind me kept sneaking up and touching my butt... i dont understand what was happening. if i had tried to turn around i would have knocked her over thats how close she was. and all she bought was orange tic-tacs, which almost brought me to tears thingking about my grandmother's obsession with orange tic-tacs) and the cashier asked me how i was doing. i know i looked like a zombie, and wanted to share the details of hanging out by the toilet this morning and why all that i was buying was things to cure the sickness, but i smiled, gave the "good how are you doing?" response, and went home, where i proceeded to eat nearly an entire box of cheese and cracker ritz.
the rest of the day was pretty uneventful, but a wonderful day to relax and hang out with my husband, who i didnt see much of last week. i ordered pizza for dinner, thats how much i really didnt feel like going out.
so yes i really am pregnant, i am due october 26, i havent had my first appointment because i am a slacker and am freakishly scared of miscarriage. we have no idea a boy or girl, but we are having fun coming up with names. (suggestions of names you like or hate or claim i cant use are welcome anytime!) and guessing. originally he thought boy, i thought girl. but we have been joking around that its gonna be twins or triplets based on a dream he had the other night, and the fact that women carrying twins are more likely to feel nausea/and vomit.

special thanks to sister lindsay for her little blog about me. feel free to get to know me a little better by clicking your way to her blog on the right and enjoy some embarassing photos of yours truly

I bet your mom about wet herself. I can't imagine a luckier kid! Congratulations! I don't know why they call it morning sickness, since you're sick the entire day. Whenever my head was in the toilet I'd sit there and think, "Man, I seriously could never do this on purpose." Then I would proceed to puke my guts out. Take 1/2 a unisom before bedtime and it works wonders!!! :) Congratulations again!
