Update-32 Weeks

Below is a picture of Graham and Me at Graham's holdiay work party this past weekend!

Update On Baby Peelle

Today was our 32 week appointment. So far everything looks great with baby Peelle. His heartbeat is strong and he is weighing in at approximately 4lbs and 17 inches long. Our doctor did say I was measuring big and he's not going to be a 5lb baby. I guess that means I have done a great job eating!!!!

Two weeks ago my sisters, Amy and Julie, hosted an amazing Baby Shower for me at the Morris-Butler House. Graham and I received so much great baby stuff. I am still washing baby clothes and organizing all the goodies. Graham's Uncle Dave and Aunt Julie, who are IU fans, gave their great nephew-to-be his first Purdue bib! Boiler Up! Although the bib is something he will spit-up and drool on, hmm I wonder if they had that in mind!

Ultrasound-20 Weeks

Below are two ultrasound pictures from our 20 week appointment. I can't believe this is what he looked like 12 weeks ago. Tomorrow is our 32 week appointment! Make sure to check back for the update on baby Peelle and his baking progress.

Side profile-You can see the head, ribs and tiny arms, hands and fingers.

This is baby Peelle looking up. You can get a pretty good view of his face including his eyes, nose and mouth. The tiny blob like circle and the bottom is his hand making a fist. Those punches are becoming much stronger.

Florida Vacation

Maybe it has been the cold weather, but I decided to post some pictures of our trip to Florida this past May. If anyone is planning a vacation I would highly recommend Discovery Cove in Florida. Graham and I spent the day swimming with dolphins, sting rays, snorkeling and laying on the white sandy beaches. Not to mention it is all inclusive and the hospitality was amazing.

Not sure who won this game, but I did give Graham and run for his money.

A visit to see Shamu at Sea World.

We made two separate trips to Universal Studios. We went to dinner one night at Jimmy Buffett's Margartiaville on City Walk and the second trip to the actual theme park. We had a great time riding the rides and acting like kids!

Puppies, Oh Puppies

Here are some recent pictures of Bailey and Bauer. They are great dogs, hyper but great.

Graham was not expecting kisses from Bauer, or as our niece calls them "puppy kisses"

Bauer responding to Graham's reaction of being kissed on the nose.

Me and my buddy

This is the hyper one. If a ball isn't in her mouth then there is sure to be a squeaky ball nearby in case someone decides to play fetch...

Does anyone want to play ball???

Baby Picture Reflection

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful turkey dinner at Amy and Brian's house. She is a great cook and always does a wonderful job hosting holiday parties.

Graham and I had some time off from work and sure enough we both ended up with a cold. It wasn't a big deal, but it did keep us at home resting. By the weekend, I started to get a bit stir crazy and decided to reorganize my old photo albums. While looking through old pictures I found some baby pictures of Graham and some baby pictures of myself. It got me thinking, I wonder what this new little baby boy will look like? Will he have blueish green eyes like his daddy or will he have brown eyes like his mommy? Will he have a full head of hair or be bald? Below are a couple pictures. They are a bit fuzzy but still fun to look at.

Graham has a huge smile!!!

And I am making faces...

As for the update on Baby Peelle-29 Weeks

Everything with Baby Peelle is going well. Today we had a doctor's appointment and he is exactly where he should be in terms of size and weight (approximately 2.5 lbs and 15 inches long). He is growing and moving like crazy. Despite the belly, sometimes I forget I'm pregnant and then I usually get a punch or kick in bladder, ribs or side and I quickly remember. Every nurse who records his heartbeat makes a comment about how active and stubborn he his. Stubborn???? Who would have guessed? Graham and I have enjoyed guessing what he is doing by the movements we feel on my belly. It has definitely turned into one of our main sources of entertainment. We start baby classes this week and now our doctor's appointments are every two weeks. We are in the final stretch, literally.
