Indianapolis Shower...

The beautiful spread...
All my prego friends...
Meg, the hostess
Jaime, Molly & Kelly


Yesterday my great friend Megan Moosbrugger hosted a beautiful shower for all my girlfriends in Indianapolis! The food was delicious, the CAKE was amazing, the flowers were stunning and the company was perfect! Thanks for everyone who came...Isabelle received some great gifts! I will post more pictures as they come my way, so stay tuned!

It was a busy day, as we had some out-of-town guests at our place (we BBQed all evening) and I had another shower to attend after mine! Needless to say, I was exhausted by the end of the day...yet I STILL couldn't sleep (I'm uncomfortable in most all positions: standing, sitting, laying...).

6 weeks left as of today!

Perfect for Isabelle...a gift from Nancy Tynan!

This weekend Mike's mom hosted a shower for her girlfriends and mine! My best girlfriends Erin, Mary & Jenny from Chicago (whom I have known since grade school) made the trek to the lake. Although the weather was a bit gloomy, we still snuck in a long boat ride and some great girl time! Jenny & I enjoyed a little shopping on Saturday night. Then we all stayed up playing Dominos for hours (until Erin wasn't losing anymore)! We woke up to rain and a rescue mission to gather Erin and Ellie from their walk & out of the storm. Our step-sisters helped Cathy to put on a great shower filled with good food, games & prizes. Thanks to everyone who attended!

8 Months Pregnant...

28 weeks (7 months)
32 weeks (8 months)
Today marks my 32nd week of pregnancy...which is 8 months. Just 8 more WEEKS until Isabelle is due to arrive. My mom accompanied me to my 32 week appointment to the OBGYN and was able to see Izzy on ultrasound, which was very special! She is measuring right on track and so am I. Still have more growing to do...and I don't know where it will all go!

Michigan Shower...

Kelly & Mom

Cousins, aunts, moms & Nana...
The Wolverton crew...

This past weekend the Keel Clan got together in Michigan for a shower for Isabelle. My mother flew in from Lake Tahoe, my sister drove in from Chicago, and the entire Wolverton family was there to celebrate. There were 4 generations in attendance and it was a very special gathering. I very big thank you to Anna for throwing the shower (games and prizes were fabulous) and to all that helped welcome Izzy into the world.

Mike and our dads attended a racing school - they were able to drive several laps around the Michigan International Speedway at speeds upwards of 150 mph! They had a great time and followed it up with a round of golf.

Nursery is underway...


This past week, Mikey and I have been busy in the nursery! We painted the walls, added a decorative light fixture, and started organizing all of Isabelle's new belongings. You can barely see the crib skirt in the picture, as the mattress is set at the highest level for newborns. We still have a lot left to do: crown molding, buy a rug, bring in the new upholstered rocker, hang the curtains and hang the wall decor. Stay tuned...it will be completed very shortly, as my nesting instinct has kicked in full-force!
