Kason Michael Niko

Born March 11, 2010 at 5:19 pm. 9 pounds 13 ounces, 21 inches. Just a beautiful baby boy!

I was at 3 cm from Wednesday night until noon today- got to a 7 right at 4:00, then dilated to a 10 by 4:49 when I started pushing!!!!!

Ahhhhhhh

Epidural = BEST THING EVER

Haven't been this pain free for months. Will let everyone know when Kason makes his appearance!!!

UPDATE- now with picture

Woohooooooo. Baby Kason is coming this week, PERIOD! My leg has been giving out because K is sitting on a couple of nerves, so apparently in compensation I've been swinging out my legs when I walk (shut up).... as a result I have jammed my baby toe about eight times (shut up again). But what really concerned my doc is the fact that I FALL DOWN at night when I get up to go to the bathroom because my legs/hips/pelvic region is so sore and nervy. So.... drumroll....... I am getting induced TOMORROW night!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO. And that's only if I don't go into labor on my own today.... which I may do because apparently I'm looking GOOD for it to happen soon.

Once I take a shower and get pretty I will add a pic to this post.... or not... depending on how many chins I have today.
...only two chins and that's about as good as it will get!!!

BTW- the BEST news of my doc appointment?!? I've lost 4 pounds!!! So I've officially only gained 32 pounds this pregnancy!

In Case You Were Wondering

Still pregnant...

And ginormously bloated. Awesome. I was able to gain 9 pounds in two weeks.... which brings my total gain to 36 pounds. So much for my goal of only gaining 25. :(


To quote JR:

"THIS WON'T LAST FOREVER! THIS WON'T LAST FOREVER!"

It can't, right??? RIGHT!?!?!?

A little late for second thoughts...

Am TOTALLY freaked out that Kason will be here in about four weeks. On one hand, I want him OUT because I can barely walk- my hips and pelvis hurt so bad! On the other hand, I want him IN because then I don't have to deal with a scary baby!! Also, had a dream last night that my doc wanted to induce me and I threw a HISSY FIT because I was scared it would hurt. Not a good sign.

Guess it's a little late to be getting cold feet!!!

P.S.- here I am at 35 weeks:
