Shaz by the Sea

I am going to document my progress day by day, as much as I can. I took the entire bandage off today and this is what my incision currently looks like as of today. I am not in much pain, but I am being as careful as possible. As I mentioned in my previous post, my mom and dad have been SO helpful with my post surgery care. They took the boys on Thursday and we picked them up Sunday. It was so nice to be able to rest while the boys had fun at Grammy and Papa's house. Here's a little peek at their last few days. I told Caden to pack his bag, get on his clothes and sneakers and we would head to Grammy's house. I looked up and he did a great job listening. He was 100% ready to go - and looked adorable. As Chrissy said, "he looks like he's off to his dorm room" haha. This was my view as I headed over to Brigham for my surgery. They were all so cute waving bye to Mommy. :) This was my post surgery meal - a charcuterie board, and it was delic

I am healing well after my surgery. Everything went smoothly and now I'm on the road to recovery.  I'm feeling good! This post goes out to my parents - they have been hugely helpful. They took all three boys to sleep over their house Thursday through to today. There would have been no way I could recover with all three of them climbing and hanging on me. I feel like my hip is the perfect height to their little hands and heads and they would constantly hit it. Anyway, THANK YOU mom and dad. You were so great with them, and I know the boys had a blast over there. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Now I will provide a timeline from my original biopsy through to present day - so you can see the developments and healing process over the last two months.

We showered Baby Callahan a few weeks ago and everyone was SO excited and thrilled for the Moms to be. Lindsey looked amazing and we had such a great time. THEME:  We had a "Shake Things Up" theme and Lindsey's sister Kelly made the most outstanding Margarita Bar. SHOWER PREP: We did a little bit of prep for the shower - mainly installed a keg/tap for people to be able to enjoy some Lagunitas IPA.  "We" (but really Jimbo) started by opening a hole in the side of an old refrigerator where we could put the tubes through. I'm pretty sure I was just feeling the cold air coming out at this point - but it looks like I am very helpful! Haha. Jim's sister Theresa gave Jim this tap for either his birthday or Christmas and it looks awesome! This was me casually trying to buy a keg with three little boys...and shopping for party supplies. Jim pretty much effortlessly set up the whole keg and the whole thin
