AGAIN! THIS YEAR’S FLU SEASON IS A
RECORD-SETTER.
RECORD-SETTER. >> Jason: SHE’S TAKEN ON THE
MOST IMPORTANT JOB SHE’LL EVER
HAVE.
HAVE. >> Kim: HI A BABY AND MY LIFE
HAS CHANGED LIKE -- I DON’T EVEN
REMEMBER WHO I WAS BEFORE.
>> Jason: AHEAD OF HER BIG
RETURN, OUR OWN KIMBERLY GILL
HAS SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL SHE
WANTS YOU TO MEET.
>> Jason: THAT’S FUNNY.
>> Sandra: WE CAN ALL RELATE,
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >> Jason: SLEEP?
WHAT WAS THAT?
>>> WE KNOW YOU MISSED HER.
>> Sandra: SHE HAS BEEN HOME
WITH HER BRAND-NEW BABY BOY.
AND DEVIN HAS THE NEW
INTRODUCTION.
INTRODUCTION. >> Devin: AN INTRODUCTION WE’VE
BEEN EXCITED TO MAKE.
THIS IS BASIL.
HE IS KIMBERLY’S BEAUTIFUL BABY
BOY.
BOY. SHE HAS BEEN SAVORING HER TIME
AT HOME WITH HER SON AND IS
SHARING WITH US THE JOYS AND
LAUGHS OF PARENTHOOD.
>> Kim: HEY, HEY, HEY, THIS IS
YOUR TV DEBUT.
SON, THIS IS YOUR TV DEBUT, AND
THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME?
I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN WEEKS.
I MEAN, HE’S ALMOST THREE MONTHS
OLD, BUT IT’S ALSO BEEN THE BEST
TIME OF MY LIFE.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I WAITED THIS
LONG TO HAVE A KID.
AND ASLEEP DEPRIVED AS I AM,
IT’S STILL THE MOST EUPHORIC
FEELING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
THE MOST SURPRISING THING I
THINK IS THAT MY MATERNAL
INSTINCT HAS JUST KICKED IN.
I’S CRAZY.
I’S CRAZY. HE KNOWS WHO I AM AND HE WHINES
WHEN IT’S NOT ME HOLDING HIM.
AND IT’S LIKE, OH, WOW, I’M
SOMEBODY’S MOM NOW.
I AM SO THANKFUL AND BLESSED
THAT I AM ABLE TO EXPERIENCE IT.
I DON’T WANT TO GET EMOTIONAL,
BUT IT REALLY IS.
HE’S AMAZING!
HE’S AMAZING! RIGHT, BASIL?
RIGHT, BASIL? I’M PROBABLY GONNA CRY WHEN I
HAVE TO LEAVE HIM BECAUSE I
HAVEN’T LEFT HIM YET.
SO, I DON’T KNOW.
I MISS ALL OF MY COWORKERS.
AND I DON’T SEE HOW PEOPLE THAT
HAVE MORE THAN ONE KID DO IT.
PEOPLE DO IT, RIGHT?
PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME, SO I
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT.
BUT I’M A LITTLE BIT ANXIOUS.
I HAVE NO DOUBT HE’LL BE AWAKE
AT MIDNIGHT WHEN I COME HOME.
HE’LL BE A CHANNEL 4 WATCHER.
ARE YOU GONNA WATCH CHANNEL 4?
YOU GONNA WATCH MAMA?
THE VIEWERS HAVE BEEN AMAZING!
I NVER KNEW SO MANY PEOPLE
CARED.
CARED. I’M REALLY THANKFUL FOR
EVERYBODY WHO’S CALLED OR EVEN
IF YOU JUST THOUGHT ABOUT US.
IT REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL LOVED.
[CRYING]
[CRYING] >> Kim: HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY,
HEY, YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO DO
THAT.
THAT. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A CAREER
PERSON, DRIVEN, WENT TO COLLEGE,
WORKED HARD, GOT MY FIRST JOB
AND SAID I WILL KILL IT IN THIS
BUSINESS AND MOVING FROM STATION
TO STATION AND STATE TO STATE.
AND I WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND I
WAS LIKE 37.
WAIT A MINUTE, I HAVEN’T GOTTEN
MARRIED, HAVEN’T HAD A KID.
LIKE WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, LIFE
GOES BY SO QUICKLY.
OKAY, I’LL GET MARRIED AND HAVE
A KID.
A KID. AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASY.
AND IT WASN’T THAT EASY.
AND NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE
HAVING A KID AT 42.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] BUT HERE WE ARE.
NOW THAT WE HAVE HIM, IT’S JUST
LIKE OUR LITTLE LIFE FEELS SO
COMPLETE, YOU KNOW.
WE’VE GOT THE HOUSE WE WANTED IN
DETROIT.
DETROIT. AND I’VE GOT THE JOB AND CAREER
AND THE FRIENDS AND NOW THIS
LITTLE GUY.
LITTLE GUY. AND, UHM, YOU KNOW, WE COULDN’T
BE HAPPIER.
BE HAPPIER. HE’S A MIRACLE.
MADE IN DETROIT, RIGHT HERE.
>> Devin: SO RIGHT.
AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, WE WERE
ALL A LITTLE EXCITED TO GET TO
MEET LITTLE BASIL.
TONIGHT AT 11:00, WE’LL TAKE YOU
ON MY TRIP, WITH BEN AND BERNIE,
AS WE WENT TO SEE KIMBERLY.
AND HER RETURN IS ON WEDNESDAY
OF THIS WEEK.
ALSO, YOU SHOULD HEAR A FUNNY
STORY KIMBERLY HAS ABOUT A TRIP
TO SOMERSET WITH BASIL AND
EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.
WE CAN ALL APPRECIATE THAT.
WHATEVER EXPECTATIONS YOU
