Okay...little girl, we are ready!!!!

So I never really thought I would get to the point in my pregnancy that each day I would hope for those painful contraction to begin. I love being pregnant so I just figured that I'd be really sad when it was coming to an end. However, I have now entered into the, I CAN'T WAIT to meet my baby phase and the, I'M FEELING ROUGH AND HUGE part of all of this. It's so funny, I go to the doctor expecting to hear that I am making progress below the belt but after several weeks of the same I can't help but feel slightly disappointed when I leave. However, in all of this I really just want her to come when it's time and to be healthy. I thought I was excited for my wedding day to arrive but this is so much more exciting and each day I wake up hoping that today is the day!

On a random/funny note, apparently I have become quite a snorer these days. I have been really congested the past several weeks and poor Tim said today that he couldn't even fall asleep last night with how loud I was snoring. He eventually resorted to shaking me and telling me that my snoring sounds like I'm dying...haha. Oh, the glamourous parts of being pregnant.

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on any progress and please say a prayer for us! :)

38 Weeks -- Holy Moly!

As I sit here and type, "38 weeks", I can't help but find myself a bit speechless. Where has the time gone? I really feel like things are happening in warp speed and just going faster and faster. I just can't believe that I could be meeting my baby girl any day now! I guess I am a little nervous but really I am just excited. After months of daydreaming and preparation it actually is almost time!

I am still feeling really good but am definitely feeling the aches and pains of being 9 months pregnant. I feel bad even complaining at all because I really have had a truly wonderful pregnancy and feel so incredibly blessed. I'll take these back pains, rib kicks, sore hips, heartburn, and achy feet and use them as a reminder at how fortunate I have been these past 9 months.

We took these pictures after I spent the whole day "nesting", which I now absolutely believe in. I woke up this morning and practically jumped out of bed so that I could start my day of cleaning and organizing. I was cleaning like a mad woman. I even washed some walls!?! Who does that!?! Tim finally told me to sit my butt down....just in time for the Steelers game. :)



I think Doyle is excited to be a big brother!
Anyway, I am feeling really good at all that we accomplished this weekend and am ready for the countdown to continue! Hurry up "Special K" your family is REALLY REALLY excited to meet you!!!!

Week 26

I can't believe that I'm already at 26 weeks. Ever since I entered into my 2nd trimester time has been FLYING by...I mean warp speed! Can I really be entering into my 3rd trimester so soon? I'm still feeling really good and hope that it will continue since the next few weeks and months are going to be so busy with getting things ready and the holidays. Since my last belly bump picture I think I've grown a bit.

Baby Kushon Update -- 17.5 weeks

I've been meaning to do this for awhile but am just now getting my butt in gear. I am going to do a weekly update of how things are going with my pregnancy. I live several hours from most of my family and friends so I will post baby bump progress right here for you all to check out. :) I also want to track my progress which I think we'll be fun to look back on.

Currently, my due date is set for February 9th, 2011 but that may change once I have my big ultrasound on Sept. 27th. I am feeling good and I think...I think...Doyle may be catching on that something is up. He has been extra cuddly with me and has been staying close by this past week. He even went on a little hunger strike while I was away this past week. Tim said he didn't eat for the past two days and within an hour of me being home he ate all his food. Poor dog missed his mom.

Anyways, I am feeling good, still tired here and there but definitely better than the last few months. Tim and I are starting to think up ideas for the nursery and I think we've decided on furniture. Hard to believe that in a few weeks we'll be half way through this pregnancy!

I was bored of taking belly pictures so took a picture with my little guy.
