8 lb. 1 Oz.

21 1/4 in.

Yes he's here and life couldn't be more blissful. I love this little guy so much... I can't imagine life without him now! I am SO blessed to be his mommy... he is just an angel. He really has been such a good baby. He sleeps a ton, eat's a lot and loves to be snuggled with :) I love being a mom. Here's a few pictures for your enjoyment. I could just stare at him all day!

Proud Papa

Koston with cousin Makenna born 19 hrs. apart :) My brother J.C. and Sis. in law Stephanie had their first baby as well. It was really cool to be at the hospital and share this experience with them.

Tomorrow's the BIG day!

Yep, tomorrow's the day we've been waiting for... Well, kind of. I'm going in to be induced at 3:00 PM. My doctor felt like we should do it now rather than wait any longer because she thinks he's going to be a pretty big boy! :) I'd rather him come on his own... but then again, I don't want to push out a 10, 11 lb. baby... So i'm fine with it. I get to see him sooner too which i'm reallllly excited for! My nerves are starting to set in though. I haven't been too bad, but now that there's a day and a time set, I know that it's going to happen and it's almost here! It's just so crazy how fast it's gone.

I'm so excited and grateful to be a mom. I can't wait for all of the fun experiences and sweet little moments I'll have with him... I know it will be the greatest feeling and most rewarding experience I could ever imagine.

Until next time! Wish me luck :)

I'm so over this.

This is what I've felt like the past week and a half...

9 months pregnant + major head & chest congestion = the worst combination ever.

And there's really not much you can take when you're pregnant. Please help! Haha. I want to be normal again and not feel like my head is trapped in a bubble anymore. It really throws things off when all you can hear is yourself... and nothing else!

Oh my poor husband... I love you Brian! Thank you for being the best, most supportive hubby ever... and still loving me even when I complain or cough all over you :)

I know this is a pointless post. I'm just so over this sick stuff and I want my baby here! :)

Prego update!!!... and some other stuff...

... It's a little OBVIOUS that I've been slacking on keeping up with the updates... I do better at looking at other blogs rather than keeping up with mine :) Where do i start...

My awesome friends threw me a baby shower! Thanks Danie, Tiffany, Amanda, Katie, Shellene, Britney, Michelle and Mom for all helping out! It turned out great and i got TONS of fun stuff! Seriously, I was looking through everything and realized if I hadn't of had a shower, I would have nothing. So thanks to you who came and spoiled Koston :) I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. He's one lucky boy! I would post pictures of it but for some reason blogger isn't allowing me and it's driving me crazy. I Guess I'll save them for another time.

I had an ultra sound on Wednesday at my Doctors request to kind of see how big he is because i've been measuring pretty big these last few weeks at my check ups. Well it was confirmed. He's a big boy already! The tech said he was about 8.8 lbs. give or take a 1/2 a lb. Lets not forget I still had a week and a half at that point! I was supposed to have an appointment with my Dr. the next day because she had been wanting to possibly induce me early... well my appointment was cancelled because she was out sick. I won't see her till my next appointment which is next Thursday ( 3 days before I'm due) so I'm sure he'll be a pretty good size by then! haha. Last week she said I was about 1 cm. dialated and 50% effaced, so he's making some progress! Brian and I are kind of over it ... We're tired of waiting. We can't wait for him to be here so we can squeeze his chubby little cheeks and bum :)

For some reason it won't let me post any of the pictures other than this one, so you'll have to settle with this. Here he is! ( he looks like Brian to a T. I think he has his lips and nose)

( Yes, i know it says Liesl Hall... My insurance hasn't been changed to Garner yet. I know, i'm a bad wife. Brian gives me heck all the time about it... which I guess is understandable :/)

I put this picture up of him as my screen saver and i can't stop looking at it :) He is such a cutie! I guess it will just have to hold me over until he decides to make his debut. Ok... I desperately need sleep so i'll end for now, but i promise I'll do better with my next update. Haha. Night!
