Last night was our baby shower that our friend Lindsay put together for us. It was so nice, and we had a really great time. Lindsay made appetizers and desserts, we had roses on the table, tea lights, wine (not for me, of course!) and just a really nice “adult” atmosphere. Calista donned her birthday dress and was a perfect little lady. Read the rest of this entry »

We’re 28 weeks today!  On to the third trimester we go…  the home stretch.  It’s belly picture day, but Calista has been sick and I am looking less than fabulous at the moment, so I think we’ll wait to do the picture tomorrow.  The great news, however, is that my PICC line was removed today!  I feel so free.  :)

I had my follow-up from last week’s hospital stay.  I made the two hour trek south to Seattle yesterday, which wasn’t too bad (on the way down, at least).  I had a few bouts of crying, thinking about what would happen if I had to stay again and how much I’d miss Skip and Calista, but overall, it was a good drive.
