Up early the following morning, Jessi briefly considered calling to check on Sarah, but decided against it, not wishing to disturb her. But before she could leave the house, Sarah called her.
Is everything under control for the shower? she asked Jessi.
Of course, no worries. How are you feeling?
Like a slightly smaller truck ran over me than the one from yesterday, she joked. The soup you brought over really helped.
Im glad. Keep getting rest. Thats really the only thing that will get you better.
I will. But I owe you one. I know how you hate baby showers.
Just get better and well call it even, Jessi laughed.
Before heading out the front door, she made one last check. The party supplies were already in the Volvo. Shed packed a bag for Buddy with his bowls, a Ziploc bag of food, his treats, his favorite toys, and a small blanket for him to use as a bed.
I havent had to pack a diaper bag in years, she laughed to herself.
