Virginia Shower

What an amazing weekend! Not only did I get to see all my VA friends, I got to spend time with most of them. Friday night I went out to dinner with Bec and Erica, Erica had to leave early so Bec and I stayed and chatted. We finished dinner at ...you guessed it RIO!! and walked over to Baby Gap where I fell in love with this little pear dress. I didn't buy it b/c I told myself (and dave beat it into me) no buying clothes for baby. I did buy a little jacket with the justification that it was a practical buy and on super sale $7. Bec drove me home and I hung with Carole for a little while and went to bed. The next morning Carole and I went to get our nails done. She treated! It was pretty sweet because I really needed it. We went back to Carole's house where livvy picked us up for the shower.

The shower was at Sarah's condo complex. She reserved a room in the lobby that was really beautiful. Everyone came within about 15 minutes of us being there. It was great to see everyone. We talked and ate and opened presents and played bingo. It was great.

Saturday night Beth, Sarah and I went to Rio. Beth had to go early so after dinner Sarah and I walked around town center and then went back and hung out at her place. She drove me home and went over to her parents house for a bit.

Sunday morning Beth and I grabbed breakfast at ihop and she took me to Nordstroms Rack, where Erica met up with me and we tried on at least 50% of the store. We had a blast. I bought some little baby shoes (i know i know) a pair of shoes for me, a dress and a shirt. Erica got a ton of super cute dresses. We went to Red Robin for lunch and OMG I forgot how good it was. She took me back to Carole's where we had homemade dinner with Livvy's friends Sally & Jackie and their boyfriends. It was really good to see them. Liv and I drove home Monday morning.

Health: Overall still doing really good. Having some trouble breathing, between this congestion and not having full lung capacity, it's tricky getting a full breath. It's worst laying down, not so bad when i'm just sitting or standing. The stairs having been winding me lately. (so pathetic)

My best advice to help catch your breath that always helped me with my pregnancies was laying on my left side did wonders for a lot of different things.
