Poem
Jayden Makieh Kelly Around seven months you were growing so rapidly and so was my love for you. I couldn’t wait until I could see your face, hold you, squeeze you, and forever be with you. With the start of our last trimester, and with only about two more months to go, I could only say, “boy has time flown by so fast“! In the next month or so your baby shower will be taking place, and before you know it, you’ll soon be in my arms at last. I had much to be thankful for that Thanksgiving. I had a loving, caring family, and you growing within me, healthy and living. At eight months I took time off from work to sit back and relax from that place. I think I more than deserved to put my feet up and take a break from that environment that was so fast-paced. You still moved so actively around and your head even tumbled down. For you were steadily growing bigger and had assumed the position ready for birth! With your head down and your feet stuck in my ribs you did give mommy a little bit of hurt. It was said that at that point you were supposed to be all cramped up and not be able to move so much. But, you felt like a pro kick boxer with cement boots so I really did disagree with such. Doctor appointments went from every other week to every week in a blink of an eye. Your baby shower took place on January 29th 2005 and boy was it a surprise! In preparation your nana ran herself crazy, but none of this seemed to shockingly amaze me. She went days without much sleep and muscle aches, yes this is true. For your nana wanted the very best and she did this all out of love for me and you. The center was pleasing to the eyes in colors of blue, yellow, teal, purple, and white. There wasn‘t too many spots where balloons and other décor wasn‘t in sight. That day the weather wasn‘t so great because there was sleet, snow and ice. Therefore, not too many people showed up but everything still went extraordinarily nice. The gifts that were given melted my heart and there was nothing that could take that smile off of my face, even though against time we had to race. We played games, laughed and had much fun and before we knew it time crept up and it was all over and done.
