Julie's shower

Ok, I know, I'm late in blogging about this... but here are some pictures from Julie's shower on Saturday! If you've checked out my friend's blogs on the side, you've already seen some highlights. It was a really fun day and we are super excited to welcome baby Molly very soon - April 5 or sooner!! :)

The table set with Megan's and my china. It was crazy how well they worked together! Check out the awesome cake Megan made, and that's big sis-to-be Grace.

The mom-to-be with the spread of food. Her sash says mom-to-be and the tiara says mother-to-be. Our theme was "Baby Bling" so of course we had to go all out!

Some of the decorations for the table. We put Megan's cricut to good use.

Julia (who we'll be having a shower for soon!), Julie, Megan, and I. I think this is one of the few pictures where I'm not wearing heels, so you can see how short I REALLY am when compared to my friends.

And here is Julie with the beautiful blanket my mom made for Molly. I think Mom should start an album... but of course I thought of this after Natalie, Peyton, Keegan, Isaac, and several other beautiful babies already are growing up with theirs!! Maybe those mommies should send mine a picture. :)

If you haven't already, check out Julie's and Megan's blog for more pictures!

Pre-op appointment

I had my pre-op appointment yesterday, so I thought I'd share a brief update, although I guess there isn't much to update...

Many of my friends have asked about the procedure. I found this pic on the internet and thought it might help make more sense.

The picture on the left shows where they'll cut the nerve, and then the blue picture on the right shows where I'll probably lose sensation after the surgery.

The doc thinks that I'll be able to walk the same day with a post-op shoe, although I won't like it much. I'll be lying pretty low for a few days, and I'll be taking pain meds, so feel free to drop by and laugh at the hilarious things I'm saying. :)

The dressing is changed after a couple days, and stitches come out after 10. I'll be in the post-op shoe for 3 and a half weeks, and then I'll be allowed to wear pretty much any shoe I want as long as I'm comfortable. Somehow I think it will still be a while before I'm back in heels - but some shoes that actually match would be a bonus!

That's the brief update on that... I'll be sure to blog after the surgery as well to keep everyone posted!

Sic Em Bears!

Thought I'd share this link about the newest Baylor girls' basketball recruit - a girl who "dunks like a guy" according to NBC sports. When I was at BU, Coach Mulkey was just starting our headway into the world of women's basketball. She's a super cool lady, and obviously a great recruiter as this story shows. Maybe we'll see another championship in the years to come!
