Twin Baby Shower!!!

-
I've been AWOL these last few weeks, but with good reason.

A few weeks ago, I flew back home to Massachusetts for my baby shower and it was such a fun trip. As you may remember, I was nervous about the flight, but it ended up being just fine. American Airlines accommodated my pregnant self and gave me a seat closer to the front of the plane with extra legroom. Shout out to American!!!

It was so nice to be home for a solid week. I saw some family before my shower, like my grandparents and my cousin Jodie and her kids. I was able to see several friends and meet little Miss Tori Bosch! I am glad I did that because the shower was a whirlwind and I didn't have much time to talk to people one on one.

I was also fortunate to see one of the most beautiful snow "storms" I think I've ever seen in Boston -- while my sister and my friend Kiley and I spent some time on Newbury Street for lunch. The snow flakes were so huge and it was beautiful.

Check out this snowy scene at Boston Common.

 
One of my favorite things about being home is being able to spend time with my little doggie. She is so sweet and amazing company.
 
 
It also happened to be the weekend of my 29th birthday. Jimmy sent these flowers to my parents house, so sweet! :)

 
As for my baby shower -- it was awesome. I really cannot express my gratitude to everyone enough. I seriously feel like the luckiest person in the world. Not only do I have the best husband and two adorable little cherubs arriving in a few months, but also the most amazing sister, family and friends. I really don't think I could have a more supportive and generous group in my life. I mean how and why did I get SO lucky??
 
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day. My stunning cake done by Nicole at "Sweet Garden Cakes" - check her out on facebook!
 
 
Here are the prego Callahan cousins!! Me, Jessica and Jen. There will be 2 boys and 2 girls due within a month or so of each other. Guess what they are having?! ;)

Kiley flew in all the way from Cincinnati!!!

 
A little photo collage to show the gray/yellow theme. What a great day...

 
And don't worry everyone -- Barbie and Frank (my parents) have their nursery already set up for A and B! What excited first time grandparents. Hehehe they are so cute.

 
All for now, I have to go unpack all of the baby clothes and baby gear!!!! Tons to do ahead. :)
 
xo,
Shaz, A and B

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h
