What a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend it has been. I have really enjoyed myself and I hope everyone else has too.
Just a quick update since I last wrote. Chubbs is definetly alive and well inside my cozy tummy. Yesterday as I sat down to check my emails around 10 p.m. I felt definate movement and looked down at my belly and actually saw my tummy move. It was such wierd experience and yet I couldn't share it with Adam because he was in the shower. So when we finally crawled into bed I felt Kevin move and then he just stayed there so that my belly was SO hard right by my belly button. Adam put his hand there in hopes of feeling chubbs move. And guess what. HE DID. Adam felt it. It was wonderful. I mean I feel him a lot but last night Adam got to feel him too. What a wonderful experience to be able to share that with the father of my active little boy.
As excited as I was to feel him so strongly last night, it has definetly taken a different turn. He moved around so much last night that I woke up several times and was actually sick to my stomach this morning. I feel a bit as if I have a crazy little one in there. So I lay around pretty much all day waiting for the nautiaus feeling to go away, but here it is almost 10:00 and I am still quite sick. I think Kevin has found my bladder and my colon and they don't seem to want to work right. I now know the meaning of having to pee every second and not to be to graphic but I will say this... Fiber and Psylium Hulls will be my best friends over the next little while.
It is wierd what a body goes through during pregnancy, but despite the difficulties, I am so thankful for this wonderful miracle.

Write back if you have any advice or funny stories about your own experiences.

Halfway through pregnancy...Is it too late to start a blog???

So here is my online journal about the journey of pregnancy. If you didn't know by now I'll just go ahead and tell you... IT'S a BOY. Healthy, Happy, and kicking. We had our ultrasound on wednesday and if you take a look at the pictures, he is most definetly a BOY. Little Kevin Russell Endsley. We are so very excited to know what he is, now he will no longer be "IT" but officially Chubbs. (that is Adam's nickname for him)

Speaking of Adam, I can't hardly wait to see him with Kevin. I know he will be so great as a father as I can already tell from how he acts now. He says hi to chubbs almost every time he sees me and he is already trying to get Kevin on his side, (he tells him to kick me when I get sassy), even though right now Kevin's kicks don't hurt me at all.

I was feeling so sad that I had not felt him kick yet by the time that we had our ultrasound, so the next morning I layed in bed and concentrated really hard on my ever growing belly. Then I felt it. People say it feels like little butterflies... I guess you could describe it that way but to me it felt more like a soft pulse or twitch. As if someone lightly brushed their finger across my belly but from inside. Although if I want to feel it again I have to concentrate or else I attribute it to gas bubbles or regular stomach craziness.

As far as my comfort goes, I am doing great. I need breaks every now and then while working hard doing hair, but I am energized and taking care of myself. I reorganized my closet tonight and put all of the things I don't fit into anymore in the back of the rack. Which leaves about 6 pair of pants left. Oh well that's a part of pregnancy I guess.

Well I am off to bed. BIG DAY tomorrow... the big 25 hits me. I know crazy I am turning 25 tomorrow.

luv ya'll
Ashley (chubbs and Adam too)
