She's here!

Not the baby...but my mom! Which for me is another concrete step towards 'her' arrival.

My mom brought a bunch of Japanese food (yay!!), and an old-school baby wobbly doll that I totally recognized from the sound it makes even before unwrapping it. It's a remake of a toy that must be from the 60s. We then went to Nijiya and bought fish, and she made a lovely dinner of cold somen noodles, miso-ni saba, and gomae veges. Mom's food can't be beat no matter where ; )

Elida came over too, and my mom gave our whole family history to her. It was kinda funny where my mom got tearful, and I got tearful too. What a scene! Now she's here to share this grand moment, and I'm very grateful. Elida had a backache, so post-dinner my mom massaged her and got her doing yoga. It was pretty funny to see them together twisted on the floor...

Hi everyone! he he he. Sorry about all the heart attacks! I just couldn't resist...

I'm due 7/2, so really any day now. No signs of any shifting though...other than lost of kicks! I'm still working, but tomorrow is most likely my last day. Wrapping stuff up, yet it's so hard to let go of work that I love...

My mom has been great, cooking, cleaning, etc. Once I'm off from work, we still have lots to organize...and then it's the waiting game. I think being preoccupied with work may encourage 'her' to stay inside, so I'm hoping that once I stop work and focus on welcoming her, we'll see signs of moving. Yikes!
