36 Weeks

I didn't take any pictures last week... but Pete and I and our family have noticed a really big change from 35 weeks to 36 weeks! I'm guessing that a big belly growth spurt means that baby is getting nice and chubby in there. I'm still feeling really good and I get more and more excited as the days go by. So, here is the belly for your viewing pleasure....

What's in a Name

Why Spaghetti and Peteballs you ask? I will tell you. It was really Pete's older sister Sarah's ingenious discovery. But first a little bit of background dating back to our days in Korea. While we were teaching over there, Pete had a really fun group of boys in one of his classes. They always came up with little English phrases that poked fun at their own ability (or shall I say inability) to speak English. For example, when asked "how are you?" They would respond with "pineapple" because it reminded them of the common answer "fine". Apparently my name, Stefanie, also reminded them of the word spaghetti. So they walked around the school halls calling me Spaghetti Teecha. Well, it stuck. Pretty soon my own classes were calling me Spaghetti... which eventually followed me home to North America where I still hear it from time to time.

So just a few months ago, long after we had returned home from Hangul, Sarah was driving in her car... calls me laughing... and says she has come up with a nickname for both Pete and I. "Spaghetti and Peteballs". Clean simple humor. In fact, it is like one of those good old dad jokes... corny yet somehow funny. Get your mind out of the gutter.
