...and here is the latest belly shot from today - two days shy of being 32 weeks!
Sunday, July 19, 2009
Time is winding down and we're wishing that it would slow down! Only about 8 more weeks to go until Penelope is here! We're super excited for her to be coming soon but there is still so much that needs to be done! I just bought the fabric for her curtains and bedding and some supplies for some wall art - so I'm super anxious to see how it will come together once it is all finished.
We had our latest obstetrician visit on Friday and Penny is back to being on the smaller side... we were measuring perfectly about a month ago, but now my belly is measuring a few cm. smaller. The doctor said that it could just be the position she's in, but most likely she will just be an average sized baby when she is born - at about 6.5 pounds... which is alright by me. I'd be glad not to have the 8-10 pound babies that run in both of our families... especially considering how big Alan's noggin is :)
The baby shower last weekend was wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts! I'm so relieved to have it out of the way though - now to start the lists of stuff we still need! Many of which I did a good job of crossing off yesterday when I went shopping with the money we had gotten from our Baby Shower gifts!
We were also fortunate to win a raffle from a high end baby boutique downtown. Alan and I had gone to an event they were having on Friday to learn about Milwaukee's cloth diapering service and there was a man showing the latest bottle feeding technology. I entered their raffle and luckily convinced Alan to put his name in too because his was picked! We won a big bag of fancy baby feeding supplies... a sippy cup, a splash mat (that I guess would go under the high chair), a food press (for making home made baby food), some fancy fruit storage containers, and a Bum Genius cloth diaper with matching onesie and leg warmers... which is probably the best part because Bum Genius happens to be the brand of diapers we will be using.
Not much for any other news... thought that I would post some pictures from the 4th of July weekend. First time in history that we have gotten the whole family together! The first is a picture of the whold group - my parents, all 6 of my siblings, their spouses, my spouse, and all of my nieces... even little Penelope bump. The second picture is the first pic of all 6 of us siblings! It was a great weekend and I hope we can do it again sometime!
... obviously the height gene was used more generously on some of us :) Michelle and I are bent over to be kind...

More wedding photos...
We had some more formal wedding photos taken for our marriage announcements. Alan's going to edit them more for printing purposes but they're super cute so I thought that I would share them now anyway... 
...we ended up just going to the Boerner Botanical Gardens and setting up our digital camera on the tripod... not as nice of quality as our photographer friend would have been able to do... but, hey, it ended up saving us about three hundred dollars!
