Kelis Twitters About Birth of New Baby Knight Jones

A day after her estranged hip-hop husband Nas confirmed the details of their new baby, Knight Jones, born on July 22, Kelis took to Twitter to share some details with her fans/followers. "Ok so I did it, he's 7.8 pounds of the greatest stuff on earth," Kelis wrote today.

The singer managed to update fans while very pregnant right up until the day she was ready to pop. Her last pre-labor tweet came on July 19 when like a true pregger she gave chocolate chain Max Brenner a nice shout out. Kelis took a break from the social networking/micro-blogging service while she gave birth to her first bundle of joy, but returned this morning.

"I was in labor for 3 of the longest most painful days of my life. I don't understand when women say they don't remember giving birth," she tweeted.

The couple announced the pregnancy in January -- during seemingly happier times. Since then, Kelis and Nas have publicly split. The pair's impending divorce has been the subject of constant TMZ news alerts with Kelis claiming Nas left her high and dry while pregnant. To make matters worse, it was reported Nas was not allowed to witness the birth of baby Knight.

On a lighter/brighter note, Kelis seems to be in goos spirits despite her marriage woes and 72-hour labor. "I will remember for the rest of my life. He's kinda perfect btw," she wrote.

Good Day Everyone!

I wouldnt dignify these peope with the time it takes to allocate. The main this is just as Pretty Girl stated, people are jealous and Envious nd Ignorance is rampant. We already know this. People are going to feel how they want to feel and as long as they do not disrespect your own personal space let them think and feel how they want to. Giving them energy is what fuels their fire. God will handle it all and he is well equip to do so. You will never be able to change the condition of their hearts, only God is able to do this if they are in fact souls He so chooses to do this with. Thank your Lord that He has selected you among those who want to do righteous deeds. For it, you will will be blessed... I am secure with myself so I dont care what anyone thinks about my blackness, I am comfortable in my skin and grateful to God for who He has made me...My mother used to say, "You can legislate the laws all you want but you cannot legislate the hearts of the people..."I love you all, no matter where you re in your walk...Have a nice day everyone...

#1) God's miracle of childbirth? No big deal, they just had sex and the natural process of pregnancy began. No miracle there. Animals do it every day, does that mean your hamburger was a miracle? Don't think so.
#2) Who really cares what these people do? Really?
#3) An abusive drunk is just that, and abusive drunk. Happens everyday all over the world. What is so special about this jerk?
#4) Who cares what race these people are? This just gives you morons out there the chance to spew your racial slurs. I am sure no one gives a crap what you think.
#5) I know that it is fun to post comments (hell, I am doing it) but folks, remember that you have a real life to live. God, religion, relationships, marriage, childbirth, are all personal and is no ones business but your own.
Finally, people screw everyday and thousands get preggers everyday. I am pretty sure that your god isn't responsible! It's the result of human desire. I am also pretty sure that there are many men who are drunks and not so nice to their significant others. Happens every day in every country. Three day labor? I would guess that the contractions started and stopped before turning into full labor contractions. All in all, this is not really news, just gossip. I do like gossip though!!

I wrote in my comments that I was in an abusive relationship. You are right when you say I don't know about your relationship. Some people are beyond change. Maybe in your case he does not deserve it. I do know that abuse is a cycle that needs to be stopped. I bet your ex was beat as a child just like mine was, and his father before that.Even after three times of anger management he still felt like I deserved it.I can not control what he says or does but I can control what I say and do. By letting him be there for the birth of our kids I believe it planted a seed to make him want to be a better person and a parent.He was not around when I was pregnant and did not support me either. I found a way to get past that and do what I believe to be the best for my children.I think that once I made up my mind not to fight with him and only focus on my kids best interest we learned to get along for the childrens sake. I don't think it is about what is right or wrong for you, it is about what is right for your children.He can not hurt them during supervised visits. It is important for you not to bad mouth him to your children because that will only hurt them. Be happy he does see them at all. He is the only father your children have. They can grow up and make their own opinon of him. Be the good guy in all this.There is no such thing as a perfect parent. It is not easy raising kids. It is important that they know they are loved by both parents. I am not saying that life is fair because it is not.I believe in carma. What comes around really does go around and everyone gets what they have coming, as sure as the sun will rise tommorow.It might not happen today or tommorow, sometimes it takes years but it does happen.You get to see your kids and be with them all the time. They are little for such a short time. Remember that when things get tough. Your kids will love you and respect you even more for protecting them.I am sure it hurts them enough that he misses visits. Don't say things to them like he only shows up half the time. You should be saying that I 'm sure something came up and I know he loves you a lot. What would have a greater impact on them. Not to mention his reaction when he does see tham. Mom says something must have come up for you not to see us. She says you love us a lot. That would give him more insentive to visit them the next time. It must give you a break when they see him. Honey always works best. God knows it is not fair to you. It is not about whats fair it is about what is best.As for the spell check and grammar check I am unable to use it on this page. I think you can figure out what I am saying.

My wife has been an OB nurse for over 37 years. She actually laughed when she read this article. She said that in her 37+ years, she has NEVER seen anyone in labor for 3 days. They may have been having some irregular contractions, but would NEVER have been in actual labor for 3 days. If this had ever happened at her hospital (she works at a Level 3 hospital), the doctors would have gotten that baby out after the first 12 hours to prevent damage to the child. This is just a crock of s**t to get publicity.

MKM: If you ever studied the Old Testament, you'd realize, if your IQ is 120 or above, that the one you call the Devil, was actually Lucifer (The Light Bringer). So what happened in the garden? The Devil/Lucifer finally broke down and told Adam & Eve, what the Gods were doing here. Lucifer is on man's side. And, by the way, I don't belong to a Devil Worshipping Cult. Those people are as stupid as you Christians, they also believe gods are Spirits. Atheists worship no one, and are not an organized entity. I just believe in one less God than you do. And you believe because you've been Brain-Washed, you have made NO SEARCH, that's reflected in your writings.
