Okay...does everyone see that ticker over there???? That's right, I'm in the double-digits!!! Whoo hoo!! Time is flying by so fast!! I can't believe it.
I stood in line for the H1N1 vaccine for 3 1/2 hours yesterday. Well, I brought a chair and my coworker (who falls into the chronic illness category) brought a blanket. The clinic started at 2, so we were there by noon :) I finally got the vaccine at 3:30pm. I feel much better now. Especially after hearing that my neice tested positive for it just yesterday. Really glad I was able to get the vaccine.
I go back to the Dr. on the 17th for a Post-Glucose test and my next OB appt. I'm really hoping that I do not have to go back for the more extensive test. After this next appointment, I will start seeing my Dr. every 2 weeks. Which, by the way, is craziness!! Because that means we are getting so much closer to the end! Wow...it's truly amazing.
I have one big baby shower coming up the first weekend in December. I'm excited, but I think I will have mixed emotions. Happy, of course, but I will always remember what it took to get to this point. Oh, the journey.

Nursery Pics!!
Please keep in mind that the blinds that are up are probably from like the 1970s or something, so they will be changing :) Haha...also, we do not have a light fixture yet, so the lighting is a little different too. The colors of the room are tan and burnt orange. It looks really good so far! :) 
After the crazy weekend...
I am so incredibly tired today! It was a crazy weekend! We went camping starting on Friday night (it poured the whole night) and then Saturday was Marching Band State Finals. We ended up finishing 5th place! The kids had an excellent show and I couldn't have asked for a better performance from the girls. I then headed back to our campsite (3 hours away) to settle in for the evening. We came home from camping on Sunday afternoon.
The one thing I do not enjoy after a weekend of camping is the laundry when we get home. I swear it is never ending. Especially since it was a wet weekend. I will probably be doing laundry until the middle of the week. Yuck!
On another note...I found out that the cousin of hubby's who is due in March will be having a girl! So no worries about having another boy in the family with the same name as our son! :)
I am beginning to feel the joys of pregnancy. I can no longer sleep comfortably through the night and all throughout the day my back (right below my shoulder blade) kills me. Especially if I sit for too long. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love being pregnant, but I think I need to go and get a nice massage somewhere :) Sound like a plan?? I think so! lol
I will be posting pictures of Baby Aiden's room here soon! I now have time to actually take some pictures :) so they will be up here as soon as possible! Maybe this evening, so stay tuned!!

25 Weeks Today!
I can't believe how fast time is going by! Pretty soon I will be in the double digits!! :) I am so excited about this whole experience. It has been absolutely fantastic. I think I have been pretty blessed feeling as good as I have.
Baby K's room is all painted!! I can't wait until we have our shower and can get everything else set up. We still need to get blinds and a new light fixture for the room, but other than that, we are set to go! I can't wait until all the baby stuff starts rolling in! I had been holding off on buying anything, but I think I am going to start shopping the sale racks for clothes (especially for next fall and winter). Of course, the one thing that hubby has already made sure the baby has, is a Colts warmup suit. Go figure :) Who knows, we might have a Super Bowl baby! lol.
I will post pics of the nursery as soon as I can. This week has been busy with getting things ready for Marching Band State Finals. I know that Saturday is going to be an emotional day for me and my Seniors. I started instructing them when they were just little freshmen :( They have grown so much in four years!
I still can't believe how fast time has gone. Here in the next few months we will be holding our son in our arms. Wow.

The Most Amazing Experience
Hubby was finally able to feel our little peanut on Saturday!! We were waiting for the band to start heading to warm-up and Baby K started doing a little dance. So, I hurriedly opened my coat and had him stick his hand to my belly. At that exact moment, Baby K kicked a few times. Hubby's face lit up! You would have thought it was Christmas (he goes nuts for Christmas Day). His exact words "that is the coolest thing ever!!" It was so awesome for him to finally get to feel our little boy.
We don't see each other a whole lot, so times together are extra special right now. He is on vacay this week :) We picked out our paint for the nursery and he was going to start on it today! He is so excited about it too.
I think I am going to have a soccer player too by the way. I feel like he has already bruised one of my ribs from kicking. Especially since it's around the same area where he is normally kicking up a storm. I absolutely love the feeling though. It makes me smile every time I feel him kick.
On another note....our band is going to State Finals!!!! Yay!!! I am so proud of the kids for working so hard the past couple weeks. We were 2nd coming out of our Semi-State compared to the Top 20 bands in Indiana. Only 10 move on to State Finals. So exciting!!! One more week of practicing and perfecting what we already have!! :)

23 week 5 day Appointment!
We had another Dr. appointment yesterday :) Everything went great. However, the nurse was concerned again that I had some sugar in my urine (could have been from that grape jelly I had for breakfast...), but my Dr. did not seem too concerned.
I am measuring right at 24 weeks, which is great because that means I am right on target! When my Dr. was searching for the heartbeat, Baby K decided he wanted nothing to do with that. He definitely tried to kick the doppler away a couple different times, but we finally got a good read and he has a nice strong heartbeat! He's gonna be a feisty little one ;)
Last night, the indigestion kicked in, and it was bad. It probably did not help that I did not get home until after 10 and then ate something (because I am always starving). I regret eating those spaghettios. I didn't think it was ever going to go away. Anyone have any suggestions on what foods you can eat that won't cause indigestion? I need all the advice I can get! :)
Lastly...I was going to go get the dreaded H1N1 shot yesterday at our local health department, but found out that people were getting there 3 hours in advance of when the clinic actually started, therefore by 2pm (when it was supposed to start) they were already out of all the vaccines they had. Over 500 people in line, but only 330 doses? That's all they were shipped. No telling when they will get more in. I was very leary of getting the vaccine, but after speaking with my Dr., he said that the risks of not getting the vaccine are much worse than getting the vaccine. Pregnant women are more susceptible to being hospitalized and the mortality rate is really flipping high. That definitely scares the sh*t out of me at this point. I just wish they were getting more of the vaccine out there. Well, hopefully I will get it one of these days, sooner than later.
That's all I have right now. Oh, the band made it to Semi-State after Regionals last weekend! So, hopefully there will be a whole other week of practicing for State after this weekend! The kids are really working hard right now! Until next time!

Name Wars...
Okay...I have to vent. I am a little perterbed at the moment with one of hubby's cousins. Hubby and I have had a name picked out pretty much since we were married for a boy. So, as luck would have it, we are being blessed with a boy. Well, I have the joy of finding out through FB that a cousin, who is not due until March (mid-late) has decided to use the exact same name as us. Upon mentioning the fact that hubby and I had decided on that name also, I am basically told that they will not be changing the name, with a nice little non-chalant "sorry Meg".
Call me a bitch and a little selfish, but I'm ticked. I guess the good thing is that our little bundle of joy will be born at least a month ahead of theirs. Really, I did not think we were going to have to worry about something like this. Lucky me huh?? So...any suggestions? Because the name we have picked out hubby and I have been set on FOREVER. I mean, 3 years, seriously.
Need I say more?? Other than, we worked our asses off to get pregnant, literally, and they get an "oops! now we need to get married sooner". Yea, I'm a bitch, I know :) lol. But it's justified right??
