Heaven on earth, baby update, and other things....

What is heaven on earth to a VERY pregnant and uncomfortable lady?? Well, that would be the pool! We have been to the pool for the past 2 weekends and it has been so nice to feel weightless in the water! I have loved it....and so has Graham. He has jumped to us from the side about 500 times which gets really old, but he has so much fun doing it! We need to sign Graham up for swim lessons this summer...I just haven't gotten around to doing that, so I'm sure all the classes are full. I guess we'll see.



This is how I feel at the pool in a bathing suit, but I don't care...it feels too good in the water!

------------------
Well, we are getting closer to having a baby. I am scheduled to have a c-section on June 11th! So at least I have an end date! I was beginning to feel like I would carry this baby in my stomach for the rest of my life! I am not sleeping well, so then I'm not in a very good mood during the day...poor Mick! He has to put up with it! He's such a good husband!

Below is a picture of Graham when he was born. I can't believe it was almost 4 years ago! I can't wait to see what this baby boy looks like. I'm thinking dark brown hair and brown eyes...like his momma! What do you think??

What a sweet, sweet picture!!! I don't think I've ever seen that one; it made me tear up thinking about the excitement and joy of Graham's birth. I know JP's birth will be as joyous and wonderful and I can't wait.

I love that last picture...I want a copy! I can't believe that was almost 4 years ago, and how big Graham has gotten. We are on cloud 9 just thinking about this new little boy, and anticipating the 11th. We miss y'all so much every day and cannot wait until we are all together again in Dallas!

PS...I think this new little one will have dark hair and eyes too.

I love that. The swimming, reminds me of Sea World, the whale, and love that photo of the three of you. I am hoping I can come meet JP before the end of summer or it will be too late for me. Then you will be back in Dallas, and we will never see you again :( At least until Sea World '09. We can get tshirts and everything! Miss you guys!

Alexis said...

Holman, that is so funny! I've been thinking to myself "that date sure sounds familiar", but couldn't remember why until I read your comment! I'm so glad you will share a birthday with my little one!

You are right-the pool is the best thing for you right now!! I was so tan when I had Hattie! I've been thinking about you! Can't wait to see what your new baby boy will look like!

I spent the day of labor with Kennedy in the pool! You might as well be in the water, at least you don't sweat when you're in there!

Sorry, but I think the Kennedy genes are strong, another blonde, fair skinned baby may be in your future. At least you are sure they are a part of you after carrying them. Ronald questions whether or not Kennedy and Anderson are his, cause they are so fair. I keep telling him we might get one that looks like him if we try again. He isn't going for it right now, but we'll see how he feels in a couple years!

Good luck with Baby Flower Pants! We love you all and can't wait to meet the little addition!

We will be praying that all will go well this week!!!

JP? Is that the name? I haven't heard the name yet? Well can't wait to meet him! Hope all goes well this week, we are certainly thinking of you guys. Hope to see you soon as I'll be there in a couple of weeks visiting. We'll talk soon!

Karen here. Not Papa. I can't get my identity to recognize me from one time to the next. I heard you've chosen Harrison and I'm sorry we can't call him Flower Pants anymore (sorry Graham that they didn't choose your choice). We actually had "Flower Pants" on the blackboard list of prayer requests in Sunday school class this week. I DO love the Harrison and since William Harrison (the president) only served 23 days as Pres before dying of pneumonia, I hope you go for Harrison William Kennedy. One dead president (Kennedy)in a name should be enough. We will be praying for you all the next few days and look forward to seeing you soon. Love you.
