First day at home!

We arrived home around 1:00 p.m. To a house full of grandparents!

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!
