Kennedy 7 weeks old

I swear, she wants to talk already. Every morning she greets daddy and I with a smile. I lurve her. :-)

Kennedy Anais is here!

Born 10/21/2009 @ 7lbs 6oz here is our Blue Devil baby (born at Duke). This child is all me it seems. Kennedy has brown hair and brown eyes just like her mommy. She loves her daddy and held on to him at the nursery the moment she was born. Check this out :



She is currently going on 3 weeks old. We haven't seen any major changes yet. I am shocked though that she has faint eyebrows! I was born with a pretty thick set! Kennedy has her daddy's skin color but looks just like her mom. She has mom's lips, eyes, nose and fierceness! K always said he wished he knew me growing up - I think God may have heard his wishes (lol). Here is an adorable pic of her in a pink outfit my cousin sent us from Dominican Republic :



more pics to come!

I think she's gonna be in here for a while

In here meaning my ute. I feel like the baby settled in a nice comfortable spot and is camping out there until she sees fit. I really think she wants to be cooked untill her EDD or later. *sigh*. I think I'm going to start mandatory walks on myself.

Today I went to the doc, all is perfect it seems. Tomorrow, I go in for my last u/s due to the baby's 2 vessel cord (will make a post about this later to explain). Anyway, K is coming with me and he is excited because he'll be seeing the baby on the u/s screen again.

FYI - I'm 37 weeks and 3 days today. 17 days left tomorrow... OH.EM.GEE

Pregnancy Insomnia

For the past week. I've been tired yet too anxious to fall asleep at night. No nesting involved. I just sit there and stare at the ceiling hoping to God I fall asleep eventually. I keep thinking about the baby and what other things I have left to do.

Its borderline obsessive. In the past 7 days this has been my schedule.

• Fall asleep at 5am
• Wake up at noon or 1pm
• Try to fall asleep at midnight
• Fall Asleep at 5am
• .........and it repeats

It sucks. My internal clock has shifted. I know I'm tired. I can hardly keep my eyes open but finally "letting go" and going off into dreamland is proving difficult these days. I'm not sure what is causing it but I hope it stops soon. I feel like I'm running on empty.

I've tried some remedies... taking a shower at night, aromatherapy, getting K to massage my feet. There are days that duue to the utter exhaustion, by the time 6pm rolls around - I DO get sleepy. However, if I do fall asleep at that time - the insomnia seems to be worse the next couple of days. So I try to hold out but eventually I just fall back into my 5AM ritual


/vent over

So this is what the baby is going to look like...

Sorry folks, I couldn't resist. You simply go to makemebabies.com upload a picture of yourself, have it morphed with a pic of your partner (or celebrity) and voila - you have a pic of your future baby.

So what do you guys think? I think she's kinda cute..lol
