Week 31 (Daddy Edition)

Hey Kenny,
Daddy wanted to tell you that hes waiting for you to get here. I cant wait.
You scared Mommy and Daddy last Friday by not moving around in there, so we went into the
Hospital. Longest Drive of your fathers life, he got from Columbia where I work to Fairfax VA in like 15 seconds, lol, but you were fine. Healthy as an Ox in there.

Daddy traded in his old truck for a newer one so you can be safe and comfortable and happy. I hope youll like it. You better like it cause Daddy and Mommy work really hard, and money doesnt grow on trees, and if the kids down the block jumped off a bridge would you, lol...just practicing kiddo. lol, My Dad used to call me kiddo. That sounds like a good name for you.

Anyway It was Daddys birthday this past weekend. Mommy bought me a new camera so I can (and will) annoy the heck out of you every waking moment!....also Grandma Murray and your cousin Anna were here on her way back to Detroit from South Carolina. They helped Daddy celebrate his birthday, and Mommy got Daddy a cake with his face on it, Im sure you'll have plenty of those in your lifetime. Get ready.

I love it when they visit. So anyway its week 31 and you have just a few more weeks of cooking left, Me Uncle Kev,Uncle Kahlil, and Uncle Ash are gonna put your furniture together this weekend. So wish us luck, we'll definitely take pictures so u can laugh at us. lol..You take care and keep cooking, Daddy has to go back to work so talk to you later.

Love you , bye.

Kiss momma for me, from the inside....lol

30 WEEKS! OMG!

Kennedy! Mommy is at 30 weeks...with less than 10 weeks to go until we see your pretty face! You have no idea how much emotion this milestone brings up in me. I'm so ready to see you and crave holding you in my arms, I dream about you at night...and I'm also nervous because Daddy and I have so much to do before you get here.

Daddy and the boys are going to work on your room next weekend. Mommy just has to figure out how it will be decorated. Daddy also bought a new car this weekend! It was a LONG time coming, but we really needed a back up car for when you come (or in case you get tricky and come early). I feel so much more calm knowing we have a larger safe vehicle for you.

This week, they say you are stealing calcium from me, but I don't mind, I'll share. You are building strong bones right now so you be healthy. You are also getting bigger and bigger and Mommy can tell because my belly is poking way out there (i'll have Daddy post a new pick). You are almost done cooking for the most part, but your lungs and heart and steadily getting strong with each day you are in there.

Mommy can feel you moving around so much now and you are so strong. We wake up about the same time everyday and I can feel you getting ready for the day, lol. I love being able to feel you move and see my belly move with you. I love you so much and can't wait to hold you in my arms.

28 weeks

Hey Lil' Mama,

You are 28 (+) weeks and Mommy is getting so excited! We have less than 11 weeks until you get here and sooooo much to do.

New for Mommy...you are now a kicking, moving, rotating machine! Whenever I put my hand on my belly, you touch it, or rotate and its so awesome! Its like we have our own little way of communicating! Daddy seems to think you are just getting big in there and don't have room and don't like people invading your space. Even in the morning when he puts his arm around me, you kick his elbow, lol. Too cute!!!

Mommy passed her glucose screening (diabetes test) so I can continue to eat as much cake and ice cream as I want. Very funny, I love ice cream now, and birthday cake. Only birthday style cake with lots of icing! I can't wait until your baby shower so we can order the sheet cake from Ms. Janet!!!

New for you, you are getting bigger and bigger. You are almost 3 lbs now! Your brain is developing and me and Daddy think you are going to be a genius. Also, you hair is getting longer. Mommy thinks you are going to have pretty thick hair just like her (whenever I let it grow, lol).

They also say by this time you should be rotating to a head down position. I'm sure you a way ahead of the curve on this and probably are where you need to be...or that may be all those movements I feel.

Anyhoo, only a couple more weeks before we get our 3D ultrasound and will be able to see your pretty face up close and personal! I can't wait.

27.5 weeks Photos

As promised, here are me and Daddy's latest preggo photos. They were taken 4th of July weekend (about 2 weeks ago). As you can see, Mommy's face is quite poofy, lol. But at the end, I dressed it up good.

Daddy and I went to a BBQ in the day and a white party at night. You behaved even though we kept you out well past your bedtime, lol.

I promise we will put some recent preggo pix up now.

We had our 28 week Doctor appointment today! Daddy came and we got to ask the Doctor lots of questions about when you arrive. We have chose Fairfax hospital to have you in Virginia. I'm getting very excited as we are in the third trimester, only 12 weeks to go lil' Momma! You kicked the Doctor while she was checking your heartbeat, lol. Very cute. Mommy gained 4lbs and is right on target in size for your pending birth!

We love you!!!

Week 27 (Daddy Edition)

A Poem from Daddy

Its Summer and its hot outside and Mommys belly's growing

I cannot lie, I wish that we could birth you when its snowin

The heat can do a many thing, anger Mommy comes to mind

and it gets harder and harder to move around with mommys foot in my behind (kidding)

The real deal is Im proud of Mom she makes it look so easy

She cooks and cleans and makes me smile and keeps my fingers greasy (with chicken)

She even still makes Daddy smile when she walks into the room

and I can say it now cause shes my wife she still is VA VA Voom (Sorry Ray)

Now you young lady make my eyes well up with happy tears

When you kick my belly thru her belly like youre in there switching gears

I think of you being born and smiling grasping on my thumb

Your Mommmy wants me to sing to you, but the song I sing is dumb

I sing this goofy song for two reasons all around

one to make your mommy smile and make sure she doesnt frown

The other reason that I sing this goofy melody

Is when youre grown and make them laugh theyll know you got that from me

So what type Daddy will I be well dont get me to lyin..but

Laugh for Daddy , laugh for Mommy, dont laugh to keep from crying

Cause you and Mommy are my one distinct priority

So listen to your elders and respect authority

eat your veggies, go outside, and homework immediately

not too much soda not too much candy not so much TV

and always remember whenever you need it u can come to me

In closing I have to tell you something about your status see

Mommys gonna kill me, but I think youre bigger than a pea?

smaller than a turkey though, and you have all your senses now

So now you can hear mommy fuss at Daddy nice and clear and LOUD!

P.S. Ill put some pictures on here later on.:)

25&26 weeks...Mommy's Rant

Hey Kennedy, my love!!!

I would like to apologize for you because we have not written in 2 weeks! Mommy has been dying to write to you but has been waiting for Daddy to bring home the camera so I can post the new preggo pictures I have of us. Its been a while since you have seen how big you have made Mommy and I wanted to show you.

I also BEGGED Daddy to write to you. He promised he would but in a day or 2 we would be on week 27 and still...nothing. I'm not sure what is going on and I want you to fuss at him when you are old enough to read this.

So, because I don't want you to suffer, my sweet baby, here are your updates.

You are now getting bigger and bigger! They say you are about the length of a very large cucumber, but I can feel you are larger than that! Mommy can feel you all the way under my ribs and all the way down to my pelvic bone. You are about a pound and two-thirds and 14 inches (or more).

You can now hear pretty good, so I'm sure you heard me tell Daddy to update your blog. You move a lot more and Mommy loves feeling it! Mommy has been having some pressure/pains in her hips and legs recently it hard for me to walk and lay down. Its kinda tough, but I know its all worth it for you!!!

Your Mema was here last week and brought you some cute onesies!!! In our favorite colors...pink and brown. I think it helped to convince Daddy those were good colors to use for your things. Daddy and I registered for your things last week and hope we get all of them!

Also, your Grandma is here this week and brought you some cute things too. You are going to be really fly!!!

Anyhoo, I hope you Daddy will put up some new pictures...or else, Mommy may have another cryfest!

I love you!!!
