My baby's room!






















Kenny!

Mommy and Mema had been BEGGING Daddy to put pictures of your fabulous nursery online, so today after my walk, I decided I better go ahead and post these pictures before you actually get here, lol. We love Daddy, but he can be a bit...um...slowful with things. I can't wait until you get here so we can both put the pressure on him, lol.

Attached are the pictures of your stroller and car seat, swing and bassinet/pack and play. You'll probably sleep there before you go to your room for a while. Also are pix of your fabulous room, I can't wait to take picture with you in here!

Tomorrow Mommy has her 38 week check up! Ugh!!! I'm so excited to meet you. I've been wanting you to come early, but your Granddaddy had to have emergency surgery yesterday. He's doing much better, but he's going to be out of commision for a little bit and Grandma has to take care of him, so its okay if you wait a little while longer.

We have the network!

Kennedy!


Your Daddy hooked up the wireless connection so now I am back on the computer!!! He also now has to upload pix of your nursery and other videos so everyone can see what an awesome job we did.


Your Grandma in Detroit also sent you some great curtains we hung today to block out the light so you can get to sleep. I can't wait til you see your room!


I tried to upload a video of me talking to you and showing off my belly but it was too big. I'll have to learn how to compress them and add it later.

Love you!!!!

DIALATE ALREADY!!!!

Mommy's not screaming at you Kennedy...she's screaming at her cervix:-) I had my 37 week check up yesterday and nothings happening. You are exactly where you are supposed to be, head down, low, locked and loaded. Mommy's body is just not opening up or thining out as soon as I hoped it'd be.

I hope to have you sooner than later. I've never craved anything or wanted anything more than to feel you in my arms and count your perfect little fingers and toes and kiss your sweet little plump lips. I'm very anxious and I know I'm driving your Daddy crazy but I can't help it. I want you to stay in there as long as you need to of course, but I want to hold you and talk to you so bad.

Yesterday, Mommy went to the hospital and Nikki had her baby! A 8 lb little boy named Daivon. I'm sure you guys will be fast friends as you will only be a couple of weeks apart. Though I'm extremely happy for Nikki, I'm sooooo ready to not be the only one pregnant. I've been walking and trying to get things moving. I have your fabulous bag packed (courtesy of Mema:-) I just have to pack my bag and we are ready to go.

I keep hearing stories about people having contractions and false labor, but other than a few Braxton Hicks here and there, you having been taking me through it. Which I love, and appreciate, but some sign labor is close would be great too:-)

I guess, worst case scenario we have 3 weeks until we meet, but if you want to surprise your Mommy early...I'm sooooooooo ready! I can't wait sweet baby!

35 weeks...where have Mommy and Daddy been!























Hey Lil Big Mama!

I know, I know, Mommy and Daddy have been terrible with blogging. You are 35 weeks and we have missed a few weeks. Basically you have just been getting Bigger and Bigger and moving lots!

News...Your Mommy is on official maternity leave. We couldn't do it anymore. I think 8 months is good though...we did well for ourselves, lol. Now I have time to sleep and get things ready for you...which doesn't typically happen because I am too sore and tired, but the idea is nice, lol.
You Daddy and I also finished your nursery, I will have him put pix and video of it on here. Its soooooo amazing! I know you are going to love it. Its a dream room for a girl! Its different shades of pink with hints of brown and lovely!

We also had your baby shower (pictures below) and you got lots of awesome gifts from our friends and family. Though of course Mommy was stressed leading up to it, it all turned out really well. We had so many people come from in town and out of town and it was awesome. We got almost everything we needed for you, lots of diapers, especially good.

Mommy is soooooo ready for you to come. I think you are ready too. Mommy has her next Dr appt next week and hopes they say I am a little dialated and the date is getting closer.
I love you soooo much and we are now ready for you too come!

Historic Day...Hopefully Historic Year


Kenny,

You are going to be born in a very important year. Yesterday for the first time in History the Democratic Party nominated a black man for Presidential candidate. Hopefully a month afer you are born we will have our first Black President. My wish is that you grow up in a world where it wont matter as much to you as it does to me.


Love you

Daddy.

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
