Poor Nick / Baby Shower / Week 32

Poor Nick! It turns out he has some type of allergic reaction to bug bites. Two weeks ago, he got bitten on the face and his eye swelled up. The doctor said to give him some Benedryl and he'd be fine. Well, it happened again on Tuesday at school. This time the swelling was a little worse (as you can see). We were prescribed two medications to help, but Nick REFUSED to take either of them and would spit them out. After another doctor's visit and a shot in his leg, the swelling has finally gone down.

By Saturday he was good to go and apparently doesn't need any water to float.

My awesome friend Amanda and her mom gave Harris a baby shower on Saturday. Several of my college friends I hadn't seen in forever got a chance to come into town. It's amazing how much our lives have changed in the past 10 years. Instead of deciding where our next frat party would be, we talked about our kids. Who would have guessed...

Here are Darah and Cody, both 9 months.

And their moms, Holly and Amy.

My friend Lisa, whose daughter Lauren, is due in 2 weeks or anytime after 2:30 pm on August 1 when she finishes her last graduate class. With us is Ashley, whom I've known since kindergarten.

Susan and Amanda (thank you for the wonderful party!!!)

Big Mama

We can't wait for Harris's arrival in another 8 weeks!

Week 32:

I had another doctor's appointment this week. Even after being on the nasty iron pills for a month, my iron continues dropping. I guess it's time to break out the red meat and leafy greens. Weight gain is steady and blood pressure is good. Harris is continuing to develop fat deposits under his skin which is now turning pink. He's about 4 lbs and 17 inches long.
