yaaaaawn! You forgot to mention how wonderful you are!

Dear Bravo,

Could someone please let Phaedra know that the purpose of the blogs are to discuss the episode! While I can appreciate her dedicating the blog in memory of her friends, she has consistently failed to address the issues that we have seen on the show.

of course, I do not blame because if I said or did the things that she has, I would be too ashamed to address them as well. However, it is not fair that she gives the viewers these "BS" blogs either. If she can't do any better than this, then she should stop blogging entirely.

Intense labor for 3 days???

I thought you were suppose to talk about the show.

That is HILARIOUS!!

Happy Thanksgiving is correct. The truth is FAMILY is important and relevant to the show. New life, motherhood,family dysfunction, growth, freedom independence drama this has impacted us all. Phaedra and Apollo congratulations on the biggest gift God graces us with... a child! It's an awesome power move to have an opportunity and say something POSITIVE and true for all of us this holiday. There is enough opinions on the episodes to make up for yours and the rest of the cast. I do agree however they need to have Wives on the show otherwise what's the point lol! Giving life and losing life puts things in perspective so thanks for the positive Phaedra! The show will go on.

Thank you I was wondering was I the only one feeling this way

Congratulations on your new baby boy! I can't wait to see him in future episodes (I hope).

Your baby is beautiful!!! Congratulations!!! Children are the most wonderful thing in this world--please make him and your husband your #1 priorities!!

I thought your baby was beautiful. It was very sweet of you and Apollo to share that with the viewer.

Loved the fact you shared the birth on your beautiful Son with us. I have done two c-sections, and it is so scary, you were a tropper and very brave, and it was so beautiful to watch your blessing come into this world. God Bless your Family, it has been an absolute pleasure watching someone with some class and good manors on a House Wife Show. Love you on the show Phaedra!

Phaedra,

Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings to you and your family!

Congrats to you and apollo on your baby. I wish you guys and your families a Happy Thanksgiving.

Very well said

Phaedra, May the Lord strengthen you during this time and bless you and your family. What is going on with your blogs? They are completely ridiculous. Can we address why you lied about how far along you were to the other ladies. To misrepresent something like that on a national television show is completely stupid. Now everyone knows you lied. I understand wanting to be discrete, because of your religious beliefs, but you crossed the line when you attacked the other ladies for asking you questions that are only natural about such a wonderful blessing. Please get it together! As a young, intelligent, and fashionable attorney, I am very disappointed in how you have portrayed yourself on the show. By the way, I’m African-American and I think some of your comments are borderline racist (Just like Chelsea Handler’s comments about you and our people were racist). You come off very pretentious and that’s not the way you should position yourself Mrs. High Class Parks.

That was one cute newborn and so alert.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and congrats on your beautiful baby boy.

Teddie...Apparently you missed this at the beginning of the Phaedra's blog "I usually write my blogs based on the underlying theme of the episode, but in light of the Thanksgiving holiday, I am going to write about the things I am most thankful for. Sometimes, in our struggle to capture that next big thing, we overlook our simple blessings; it is those simple blessings that make life worth living. I am most thankful for my family, friends and life."

Keep up:)

Congrats to Phaedra and Apollo on your new baby!!!

Yeah!! I thought blogs were for discussing current episodes too! I think Phaedra's embarrassed too. I also wonder if she discussed (off camera) with her doctor his lack of medical etiquette by stating in front of Kandi her ACTUAL number of weeks she was pregnant (but of course he didn't seem to know she was claiming she didn't know how far along she was) or if she just let it slide since she knew she was lying about having sex then getting pregnant BEFORE she & Apollo were married???

Phaedra, beautiful blog and much needed for all of us this year. It's one thing to have plenty, but even those who have had plenty in the past can not say they have it this year. It's good to hear about real feelings and real life and being grateful and positive. BTW, what is the baby's name??? did I miss that??? Don't let anyone hate on you dear Phaedra, you've got your stuff, but don't we all?? You are OK by me.

you have great husband, he looked a litte green during the c section.... it was so funny. kay

Your baby is absolutely beautiful, and your husband seems very nice. I hope you will be sensitive and loving to both of them, always.

I thought Phedra's Blog was just fine what did you want her to say?? She was being real with life, mature matters maybe you shouldn't get so into it., Itching Ears

Phaedra I really enjoy seeing you on the show ! thanks for being real with your blog you know you cant please everybody, so don't even try too! be blessed with your new baby, and praise the Lord Jesus Christ for a healthy and that you made it through it all Amen!!

well said. well said

Ms Parks..congrats on your beautiful baby...BUT u were full term when u delivered...which means u were 3 months pregnant BEFORE u had the shot gun wedding, so u lied to ur mom, urself, & the public..keep it 100 & people will like u more...hugs & kisses 2 the baby!!

OMG, I just saw your baby's pic & he is GORGEOUS! Congratulations!

Phaedra please may i have all of your old (former) atire including dresses,shoes,blouses and bejeweled flip flops because im 4motnhs pregnant now and all the maternal clothes from a lil southern town that i am in either dont fit or never last pasta day so i would like to know if you could email me and we talk futher about this because i really need some wadrobe to fulfill my full term pregnancy because im stuck dow now to wearing tacky lounge dusters like a ol grandma because ts all tht half way fits and im 21 so like some dusters arent my style and i love your look and style just you yourself is amazing ily so thats why i am comfortable enough to ask you this.

I just wanted to say u are very blessed because life is the best thing you could give anyone.

Yes you did receive a blessing having your son and congratulation to you and Apollo! Now to get to what I really want to say Pheadra come on now, I had my first child at the age of seventeen and all the stuff you did and said never came out of my mouth, I am also pregnant now with my third child due December 6, 2010 and this is going to be my third c- section, Pheadra why were you doing all that faking you know didn't no part of the c- sectin hurt keep it real, I guess when they say all pregnacy are different you proved that!

Phaedra, your son is absolutely gorgeous and I wish you and your family all the best. While I do wonder about you sometimes, you are entertaining because one never knows what you'll say next. I do hope that some of your off the wall comments were not serious and just for shock value.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Phaedra, Phaedra, Phaedra, oh my, where to start? I’ll say firstly, congratulations on that beautiful little blessing of yours. He is, without a doubt, precious! I want to congratulate you for having the blessing of Apollo in your life. He is so down-to-earth and makes a wonderful husband. I sincerely hope you’re thankful to have a man that’s balanced and accepts others without carrying that holier-than-thou attitude that seems to be your true character. In every episode, you seem to find away to belittle another cast member to make yourself feel high and mighty, for lack of a better term. For example, you were putting down Cynthia for where she lives. I sensed jealousy but, I could be wrong. However, while you do that, you become known as self-doubting and spiteful. You’ve referred to yourself as being a “true Southern Bell”; I know your momma taught you that if you don’t have anything nice to say, DON’T SAY ANYTIHNG AT ALL, it’s so unbecoming. Secondly, for as cultured as you are, why do you dumb yourself down when it comes to the knowledge of becoming a mother? Isn’t it the fastidiousness and doing your homework the main things that make a good lawyer? I decided to write this on your blog because as they old saying goes, “you can learn a lot about yourself if you listen to what others have to say about you”. I hope you have taken what I’ve said as constructive rather than negative so that you can become a better person, treating people better and learn to be your authentic self. God Bless you and your family this holiday season. Julie, Portsmouth, OH

Congrats on the delivery of your son and now what will we have to talk about. We all knew that you were not telling the truth about not knowing how far along you were. But I must say Dwight was a better friend to you than he was to Nene. He stood up for you under interigation.

I so love you for saying what everybody else was thinking..

Phaedra, I am very grateful that you have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Holiday Season; however, I want to encourage you to read Psalm 139 where King David is speaking of the fact that God know everything we say, do or think before it happens. I know how difficult it was or rather still is to live up to the expectations of your parents; however, life is about making mistakes and learning from them. You are a very intellectual woman who stated that you want to encourage and inspire young girls to dream big and go after what they desire. However, you cannot expect to mentor "truth" to those young ladies if you are not operating in truth with yourself. The Bible says that we all fall short of God's glory, and because of the Blood of Christ, we can go to the Father and ask for forgiveness for stepping out of the realm of His will that He has planned for our lives. Phaedra, remember that the call that God has placed upon your life came well before your fall--He knew you before the foundations of the world-Jeremiah 1. Because you have failed to live up to the standards of your parents, God understands that our flesh is weak; nevertheless, it does not justify sin on any level. Although you do not owe us any explanations as to why to chose to deviate from the truth, but just as the sinful woman who washes the Lord’s feet with her tears and then dries them with the hair on her head, the Lord forgives her sin, which were many, and He will do the same for you, me, and for everyone who asks in His name!

Phaedra, Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. I have to agree with the other reader. I have two wonderful children, my first, which is my son, had to be induced...GIRL, STOP frontin', my son was induced and I had a C-Section with him. There is NO, NO pain at all! The ONLY thing you feel is pressure when they are pulling the baby out. I stayed awake throughout the whole procedure. I'm not sure why you and Sheree aren't best friends on this show, you BOTH try so hard to be something that you clearly are not! You say hateful things about the others, but Sug...it doesn't make you look better at all. And please read up on how a TRUE Southern Bell acts - cause what you are portraying is just simply a dressed up "Hood Rat".

Oh... Lordy,{sigghh] Bravo where do you get these commentors? Please stop approving idiots with nothing of subtance to say. Popefam, you don't know Phaedra! you don't KNOW what happened concerning her knowledge of how far along she was during her preganancy. Please save the fire and brimstone, holy roller, fall from sin speech until you actually know what your talking about. Or actually know the person you are talking about for that matter.

All I want to say is AMEN! I have had c-sections too, and believe me, I did not feel a thing!!!!! Can we say Dramatic!

Phedra Parks, Happy mother's day. Love your child and live your life. Your son is too precious to miss a beat worring about the foolishness of others.

Congrats on the birth of your son. He is beautiful and a blessing to you and your husband. However just admit you didn't talk about the show because you would have had to discuss all your lies. It's no big deal. Own it!

miss phaedra congrats on your baby being born ,all the other housewives are jealous because you have something they want a stable relationship with a man ,your happy so they gonna find fault with your relationship,what they need to is concentrate on theirs instead of yours.so what your hubby is an ex con everyone deserves a second chance.you love him thats all that counts.

Pheadra, Despite the things you said about the baby, which I think you really didn't mean, you have what it takes to make a great mother. I realize how blessed you are right now with all the important things in life. Apollo seems to be so happy to be a father. Girl, you couldn't ask for anything more. You have a successful career, a handsome and good man, who seems happy to be a father, a new beautiful baby, family that love and care for you! Congratulations Phaedra, not only for having the baby, but for attaining the things most people strive for, but never achieve.

Do not forget, she is a lawyer... enough said...

That baby was one of the most beautiful newborns I've ever seen. They usually don't look that good at first ;o)

Is your mother really Regina Belle, or not, because if so then you got a great mom.

im soory! i forgot to congradulate u and apollo on ur new bundle of joy! enjoy ur precious baby boy!!!!

Congrats on your baby boy I wish you all the blessing and joy of been a new mother life will never be the same

Keep your family in God hands its nice to see a couple on tv who to about God put and just Jesus in the head of your life and God will bless you

I'm no fan of Phaedra, but I have had two c-sections. The first one was an emergency csection after being in labor for 20 hours after my water broke and I developed a fever...i had an epidural already in for 18 hours, so I had the surgery with the epidural and I felt like all of my insides were being ripped out...worst pain imaginable...my 2nd c section was planned and I had a spinal block and did not feel a thing. I think she had an epidural as well and I know it was painfull. Sorry for typos im using my phone.

Phaedra,

Tell the truth and shame the devil!
