happy due date to you!

happy due date quentin! i think he was hoping we'd due something special today to commemorate the day he was supposed to be born. but the combination of a still-sick (though feeling better) mom and dad and the fact that the heat index here today was 110 degrees meant that we stayed in the only air conditioned room in the house all day. i think this disappointed him because he has been cranky all day. or he's hot, sick, and/or going through a growth spurt. he's been sneezing fairly often - baby sneezes - so cute. he's also been eating like a fiend, demanding 4 ounces (or more!!!) every two hours. and then there's times where he's been fed, changed, is being held, and still just screams his head off. fortunately he really seems to like the womb bear which calms him down. and he also digs the pacifier. probably hurts less than his little talons :) the boy's finger nails have gotten a little sharp. he's got a little scratch on his face. it's a little weird that the day i had spent months anticipating was so uneventful, but i suppose very few babies are born on their actual due dates. quentin just couldn't wait to get out!
