Chase's First Day

Today has been a great first day with Chase! We can't stop looking at him! I have not gotten a picture of him without his hat, but he has lots of hair!

Chase Edward Graff

Chase Edward Graff arrived today at 2:19 p.m. It was a long day, starting at checking into the hospital at 5:00 a.m. We were quickly brought to labor and delivery. I was already dialated to a 3, so I got my epideral pretty fast. The doctor/nurses were predicting that he would arrive no later than noon. Well, noon came around and I was only dialated to a 5. Changing positions very often and with some assistance from the nurse by 1:50 I was a 10. Plus my epideral wore off. At that point I was swearing I would never go through labor again. The doctor arrived at 2 p.m. I pushed about 10 times and when I saw Chase I started to prepare for the third.

My baby Chase weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz two weeks early. Chase is twenty inches long. We always loved the name Chase and knew if we ever had another boy Chase would be his name. Edward was my Paw Paw B's name. He died my senior year high school and was my best fried. There is not a day that goes by I don't think about him. Paw Paw started the A&M tradition and Blake and Chase will be the 4th generation of Aggies in our family, including Brantley!

One day when I was at Target I came across a baby name book,"The Baby Name Wizard", by Laura Wattenburg so I looked up the meaing of Edward and it read," Edward has always been kingly and sophisticated, a fine choice of fine gentlemen..." Just what my grandpa was a fine man and just what Chase will be one day!!

Don't Forget to vote tomorrow!!!

From the mouth of our little pirate:

"Ahoy Matey!"

"Yeah or Gig'em McCain!"

"Boo0000 Obama!"

"ARRGGHHH"

If Blake was allowed to vote, can you tell who he would vote for?

Dewberry Farm

On Saturday we went to the Dewberry Farm in Waller. Blake really enjoyed it! There were lots of neat activities that I'm hoping Billy can incorporate at our house!

Blake jumping on the pillows!

We had to try out the corn barrel ride, since Blake will have his own real soon!



Feeding the goats with mammy!

Corn Field Maze...Blake is looking over!

Shooting the corn gun!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year! I took Friday off just to spend the day with Blake! Since, the baby will be arriving in less then two weeks, I thought it was a great time to just be with Blake! We started our day off at the Farm Patch running through the Hay Maze! Of course, I was not running! By then BB and Paw Paw met up with us and we went to the George Bush Library for some trick or treating. We headed to the other Graffs for our Annual Chili Halloween!


Probably one of our last pics as a family of three!
