My mom offered to come to Cincinnati with me for a few days to help make sure everything goes OK with the movers and stuff. I said yes, if she feels like she can do it. She's been having some mobility issues lately. But I would feel better having someone else there, and I know that she'll feel better if she can see where I'm living.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Our wings are not tired.
Just sometimes I don't know if it's funny or sad how far off the mark my encounters always are from the fantasy of "Finally, someone who Gets It,"
With me part of it is having such a clear and detailed notion of what an encounter will be that makes the reality so disappointing. Blah, alas I get it.
Having your mom come will be good, Hil. Of course she needs to picture you in your new surrounds, and another person around when you are getting settled in can be very handy.

I went to my weekly DBT therapy group and on the way there my ear started hurting. I was going to go but listening to people talk was getting to me and so I left. I forgot to take sudafed before I went and I need to check and see when I can take more ibuprofen. I also took some PRN klonopin because maybe it will help me relax and maybe that wil help my pain level.
At least that's the theory.

Feel better, askye.
We had an OB appointment and ultrasound today. ltc is 5.5 lbs, and she will likely be born on August 10th, unless she decides to come earlier or there are other health concerns.

So a cousin who is a year older than me is celebrating his 21st wedding anniversary today (which I almost misspelled weeding).
He and his wife have been together for much longer than that. I think they started dating when they were 15.

Thanks, askye! I'll pass along the message.
We're not going to Mom's place at the beach for my birthday weekend this weekend because I don't want to be that far from my hospital, especially with all the holiday traffic. However, TCG still has the day off because of the holiday; so, I think we're going to go to the museum for the day. I called and they do have wheelchairs available; so, even if I'm tired, I should be able to enjoy myself. I need to check if there is anything I can eat at the cafe there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm super excited for ltc to make her most welcome entrance, but I have to admit, I'm ALSO excited for you to have your first post-baby milkshake.

Ha! I feel I will be sending the wrong message if I post a picture of the milkshake on facebook, but maybe I can post it here where people understand things better. Also, I just realized since I'm probably going to be on a post c-section morphine drip (since I can't have a spinal or epidural), they're probably not going to let me have champagne, are they? I have a bottle someone gave me at Christmas before they knew I was pregnant that I have been saving.
