32 Weeks

Posted by Niki Murray on September 2, 2009

Well, we made it to 32 weeks. Only 8 more to go! It’s going by so fast now. I can’t believe it. Lil’ Pumpkin will be here before we know it!

So I’ve had another good week. I was a little sick this weekend though. I researched my symptoms on the internet and of course the only thing I could figure was that I was going into premature labor. So I started freaking out about that. Note to self – do not research anything on the internet. The only thing you will find is some self-diagnosis that will send you into an anxious whirlwind wondering if “that” is what it is. The doctor thinks it was just a stomach bug, so that was good news. I’ve been recovering from that the past couple days, staying hydrated, etc. I feel much better today.

Fall is my favorite season and I’m so excited that’s when her birthday will be. I have lots of good memories in the fall. Van and I started dating Oct. 5, 1996. We got married October 16, 2004. We went to Bainbridge, Georgia last October – the most relaxing vacation ever (one which I still talk about). The fall reminds me of that vacation. We enjoy going to NCSU football games in the fall. Oh, and my birthday is in November. It’s just an all around great season! And soon we’ll have another happy event to add to that list.

The weather today was just the perfect fall weather. Here’s my 32 week picture. Van took it while we were walking around the neighborhood. Another thing I love about the fall – going on walks!

  • About Me


    My name is Niki. I’m a coffee drinking, baby food making, blogging mama to baby girl Ashley, 2 labs, and a cat. I absolutely LOVE being a Mom! I enjoy taking pictures of Ashley and making homemade baby food for her.

    I like doing anything outside whether it's going to the beach, strolling around the neighborhood, or just going to a park. I enjoy blogging and reading other Mommy blogs. I’m up for learning new things and have recently become interested in photography. I like a clean house, beds made, and checking off my to-do lists.

  • The Hubby


    I am married to Van, my best friend. We met in high school and have been together ever since! We practically grew up together. I feel very lucky to have found the man of my dreams so early in life. We married in 2004 and had a little girl in 2009. I can't imagine life without him. He keeps me grounded. He’s very practical, methodical, and technical. He’s a computer genius.

    We like going on vacations and would love to go back to Europe one day. Van is a regular “guy’s guy” and enjoys fishing, flying and riding his motorcycle. But he is also a family man. I love him!

  • Lil’ Pumpkin


    Ashley is our little bundle of joy. She was born in October 2009. Since she was a fall baby, we called her Lil’ Pumpkin while she was in the womb. Van now calls her Pumpkin Pie. I never could have imagined how much I would enjoy being a mother to this sweet little girl. I am just overwhelmed with love for her!

    Ashley likes eating homemade baby food, bouncing in her exersaucer, and watching the dogs play. She is entertained by my goofiness and she loves to sing and dance with me. I've never met a baby as happy as she is. She is a reminder of what life is all about. She makes us smile and laugh every single day!

  • The Boys


    Toby is our 8 year old black lab and Blake is our 3 year old chocolate lab. They are uncle and nephew. They have their own couch and some may consider them a bit spoiled. I enjoy making Frosty Paws (doggie ice cream) and baking homemade treats for them. Although I have to admit, I haven’t done much of that since Ashley was born. We celebrate their birthdays with doggie cake.

    Toby is obsessed with tennis balls and Blake loves his red ball. They are the best of friends. And they both LOVE swimming. Especially in my parents’ pool at the beach!

  • Jim Jim


    Jimmy is our 4 year old tabby cat. Van rescued him from the jaws of a pit bull when he was a mere 8 weeks old. I don't think Jimmy has forgotten that seeing as he is very attached to Van.

    Jimmy is an indoor/outdoor cat who loves to roam the neighborhood and hunt. He likes to bring us "gifts", anything from birds and rabbits to field mice. He is a sweet cat, but I wouldn’t cross him if I were you. You don’t want to see that crazed look in his eyes!
