Snow in St. Louis
This is the view from my hotel:
The Cardinals' stadium. Yes I am in St. Louis, a place I did call home for a brief time. Not feeling so homey this time around... I have already been here for like, 4 days. I will be here for another 5 days. Maybe even 6 or 7. I am working. Real lawyering, actually, for what feels like 16 hours a day. Trial starts on Monday and from now until it is over, I'm just going to focus on each task at hand, each hour, each day.
Before I know it, it will be over and time to get home to my sweet puppy and husband. I haven't been away from Blake for this long since before we were married and I really miss him. I'm afraid Toby is going to forget who I am. Sprout is keeping me good company, though, as active as always, and I keep telling myself that I'm not alone at all. According to the apps on my phone, I've got 106 days to go. Sprout weighs over 20 oz and is over a foot long head to toe. Hard to imagine that all that fits in this bump that still seems small.
I'm realizing two things now as I write this post. (1) I've not shared any info about our ultrasound appointment via blog. I need to do that. I will do it. No promises on when! (2) I need to get back to work.
So, if for the next week, I ignore you, don't respond to email, text, or Facebook message - I apologize. Sprout and I say "hello" from room 2030 and I'll get back to you when it's all over.
Kate
