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!

Wisconsin Shower...

Grandma Betty, Aunt Deb & Kel
Aunt Deb & baby Jordyn

Aunt Deb & Laura hosted a McCulloch family shower for me in Janesville, Wisconsin on Saturday. We had fun the morning of with a long walk on the trail and preparing the brunch! Baby Isabelle received lots of new clothes, bibs, and her high chair! When the boys returned from playing golf, Mike saw all the gifts and said..."Everything is PINK!" I think he's a little overwhelmed by all of it :)

Uncle Jimmy's Wedding...

Kel, Mike, Bob (Mike's dad) & Laura
Cathy (Mike's mom) & Mike
Mikey & Kelly

We headed up to Wisconsin for the weekend...Mike's cousin Jimmy got married on Friday night. The ceremony was in a beautiful country chapel and the reception was followed with live music downtown Stoughton. All of the Marcks family was in attendance...traveling from all over the country. It was great catching up with everyone. (Sorry I didn't take more pics!)

Jimmy Buffett Concert...

Maggie, Kel & Courtney
Zach, Mike & Clay

Last week Mike and I attended our annual Jimmy Buffett concert at Verizon. This year we had Courtney & Zach and Maggie & Clay join in on the fun! The show was great fun, as usual. And surprisingly, I was NOT the only pregnant crazy there...there was a woman timing her contractions during the concert! Next year I will NOT be the sober driver...

A day at the pool...

Oscar enjoying the water...
This big guy can WALK now!
Meg & Oz in the Lazy River

Mikey has been gone all weekend on his annual baseball trip with the boys...so while he was away...Kelly played! I kept busy with spending Sunday with my best man, Oscar!!! For those of you who do not know, he is the little man I have been nannying for since January. This summer I haven't seen him much, so Meg and I decided to take him to the pool for some quality time together.

Oscar has started walking (I cried when I witnessed this b/c he wasn't even crawling when I started watching him)...he loves to talk on my cell phone (or anything resembling a phone)...and he has found my protruding belly button (and compares to his!). Super fun.

Meg is one of my favorite people...so we had a blast! Oh, and Meg and I have been setting up an arranged marriage for Oz and Izzy :) They just don't know it yet....
