40 Weeks Down, A Lifetime With Kennedy To Go!

Since Kennedy was born when I was technically 35 weeks 6 days, I wasn't able to complete the belly pictures. I didn't get to do the 36 week one, and they started weekly after that (along with the doctor appointments). But it was only natural to take a picture on my actual due date with Baby Girl <3


Mom's Take at Week 40: It's exhausting and I've been pooped on more times than I can count and I shamelessly sleep in spit-up sheets / pajamas. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm amazed at how well I'm functioning off such little sleep; although I could fall asleep anywhere and anytime. I've learned how to change Kennedy most effectively (every baby really is different) and she eats so well. I love that she knows my voice and my smell and I can instantly calm her down when she's upset.

Dad's Take at Week 40: Nelson is such a great partner and has really taken his duty as "dad" seriously. He helps with diaper changes in the middle of the night (since he can't feed) and loves to stare at Kennedy. He's constantly talking about how cute she is, calling her "cutie-patootie", and smells her head before he kisses her. He's taking in every little bit about Kennedy before she grows up.

And now, to see the full evolution of the belly!
