Cankles, Thankles, Diapers and Wipes

Whew!  What a week!  My cankles arrived on Wednesday.  There's a pic below.  Bret took it next to Winslow's leg - I'm not sure why, but I bet it was just so you avid readers could get a real picture of how swollen I am.  The Hermans, Kennickells, and Konters hosted a Diapers/Wipes shower last night and it was AWESOME.  Check out a photo of Jen's diaper wreath.  I think she should give up lawyering and do showers full-time.  Her husband disagreed with me. 

The weight is now up to about 147lbs.  I have a checkup tomorrow.  Of course, I won't let them weigh me, but I'll be fairly honest. 

My mom is coming to town on Thursday.  Can't wait - she is even more organized than I am - or is it OCD - not sure which.  Bret will head to Gloucester next weekend for Aunt Holly's memorial.  It'll be a sad time - but also a time for celebration with lots of family and friends in town.  I'll miss him for V-Day - but did we ever really celebrate it?  Nothing more than a Bret Bell dinner and a creative card.  That's all I need.
