Whirlwind Weekend

Hi All! Bea continues to do well. So well, in fact, that the nurses advised us to take time this weekend to "get the house ready." Although Bea will probably not come home in the next week, she will be taking more and more of her feedings by breast -- which means I will need to be in the hospital with her more often and won't have much time at home.

Because I went on bedrest so early in the pregnancy, we didn't have too many things ready in the nursery. So, this weekend was split between spending time with Bea and spending time with our credit cards. After visits to baby stores across the metro we are now proud owners of diaper pails, a bottle drying rack, a baby bathtub, millions of preemie outfits, etc., etc. Who knew a little person less than four pounds needed so much stuff.

Many people have asked if we are going to have any type of shower. The answer is yes -- several friends and relatives have offered to throw us a party, but I guess it will be a bit unconventional since Bea has already arrived. We'll let you know more as plans firm up.

Well, that's all for now. Got to get to bed.
Love, Melissa

This is all such lovely news -- many, many congratulations. Maybe when you have the baby shower it can have a virtual component for those of us way, way out of town?
