We had a wonderfully busy and successful weekend at the store as Hot Corner hosted 5 Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers for an autograph session to benefit pitcher Brad Ziegler's charity "Pastime for Patriots." It was created to help members of our armed forces and their families be able to attend baseball games throughout the country. We had over 100 people come out and show support, and even the ABC crew made an appearance to tape a segment for the evening news. All the hard work definitely paid off, and we were able to send 100% of the proceeds to Brad's awesome cause. The players were so happy with the turnout, they want to do it again next year, adding more publicity and player participation. I am so proud of Phil for all of his efforts.

The next day, we held our fantasy baseball draft, and guess who got #1 pick?? That's right, I did!! I was so excited to get first pick! I drafted Matt Kemp. Before the draft, we said good-bye to a very sweet friend and wonderful person, Jennifer Harley. She is moving back to Philadelphia and will be near her family. We will sure miss her! And baby Rinella is sooooo thankful for the Dr. Seuss books! We will enjoy them! Thank you, Jen, and best of luck to you!
Tomorrow is my 5th doctor's appointment and I'll be just about 28 weeks along. I have to arrive early for a glucose screening to check my body's production of insulin. Please pray that it goes well! Everything is still going very well with the baby. Still growing...lots of showing. It's starting to warm up here, and with that comes a new displeasure--swollen feet. To combat this, I thought I'd slip into my swimsuit that I THOUGHT was stretchy enough to go over my tummy--turns out, it isn't. That was good for a laugh. So I bought a maternity swimsuit and tried it out the other day..HEAVEN. I may be living in the pool for the next few weeks. Floating is my new favorite activity.
This week: Baby is the size of a cauliflower.
