The Lloyds

Before we left the hospital yesterday we were forced by knifepoint to pick a middle name for this child. I was kinda leaning toward Adeline Hairy Mongrel Lloyd but that was struck down after a long mass debate. Scroll down to the previous post to get the update.

Little Miss Adeline Makenna, 6lbs 7oz, 19in long. The world is not yet prepared for the cuteness that she will bestow upon it.

Like I said before ..... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ME!!!

Here is the latest update and an incredible picture of the baby's room...

For those of you who follow this blog and are totally unfamiliar with our lives (I'm sure this number is nearing 3-4 billion people by now) I will give you a brief overview to allow you to catch up. Kimberly and I were married on December 16, 2006. We live in Grove City with our dog Bailey, our cat Oscar Roonie, many fishes, and we will soon be adding a small human. Here are a few of the things that have been keeping me busy over the past few years.....

I wanted to share a little about what the King family is up to these days. As most of you know, my dad has been battling with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for a while now. He had been in remission for a few years until this past fall. He then went through about 6 months of chemo. The mass near his aorta only shrank about another 5% since he started. Starting May 22 he will be undergoing a stem cell transplant at James Cancer Center at OSU. They will blast him with chemo for about 5 days then take the donor's stem cells and tranfuse them into dad. He will have to be cooped up in a hospital room, with very little visitors, anywhere between 3 and 5 weeks until he's strong enough to come back home. Therefore, please keep him and our family in your prayers as we all try to get him through this. And of course, the main thing he is worried about is being home when our baby is born. My pops is truly an inspiration to me and I would never be who I am today without him!

We had our 32 week appointment today. The doctor was trying to listen to the heartbeat, but every time he'd hear it, the baby would move. He said, "That baby sure is crazy!" It has been so active this week! We have an ultrasound in 2 weeks and we'll get to find out how much he or she weighs. The baby is breech right now, but he said as much as it moves, it's no big deal. I can't believe we have less than 8 weeks to go! Also, we thought we would share our names with you all...Oliver Knox for a boy and Adeline (Addy) Reese or Mae (or many others) for a girl! Hope all you mommas had a great Mother's Day!
