The final countdown?

[rkold]

Ryu-chan has started to kick a lot more, it doesn't hurt yet, thankfully, but I definitely feel it and it feels decidedly odd. She was doing it quite hard yesterday morning and evening. Most of her movements today have been less active, but I would not be surprised if I feel more as the day progresses. She was actually moving enough that my husband could feel it when he touched my belly. It makes it really feel like there is a baby there.

I'm still thinking of names for her. At some point I might ask LJ at large what comes to mind when they associate with certain names.

I'm in week 23, the viability line and the start of month 6. The viability line is the end of week 23, where if your baby comes early they have a 50% survival rate. Every day after week 23 that rate goes up. I would prefer Ryu wait until October to make her appearance (and so far my cervix is closed according to the doctor) but it does make me feel less anxious to cross that line.

This week end is NY Dolpa, so I'm staying with my mom and dad. I'm a little worried about their lack of A/C >>;; Tuesday is Japan, and I have some of the trip together now: rental keitai, hotels for nearly all nights, my rail pass, airline tickets, but I do need to pack and call my credit card and print some things out.

I've found my pots and pans at long last which is incredibly happy.

You managed so long without pots and pans???

Yes! I should mention that until the end of May I felt so nauseous most of the time just eating anything was pretty awesome. But the last 2+ weeks I've been feeling better and more interested in cooking and eating and of course I could not find them. ~.~

But now they are found and I am very very relieved! Though now I have lost my Farmer's Market pin. >>;

I know it is so exciting to be able to cook again, except of course I was away all week end and I leave for Japan on Tuesday! lol

*hugs*

I'm so sorry, I am behind, the check arrived safely and was deposited on Friday. (I had no email Fri night and all day Saturday and Sunday until now) I have your boy and outfit (the dress is WAY nice in person, lots of people were impressed with it in real life.) If I am together they will go out tomorrow and if not they will go out on July 6th when I am back from Japan. :)


I have a lot more unpacking to do but this week end was Dolpa so I was out of the house completely!

Ideally I will get everything out, since it would be easier on me and I have to send out two heads anyway. I didn't remove the face mask but I did open him up because two people brought their Alices to the Beauty Salon (It was where I was working) and I wanted to make sure your boy was in order. (He does seem to be!)

I always try to! NY Dolpa was incredibly exhausting but I loved seeing people!

I'm super excited for Japan!

What a major milestone!! I'm really excited and happy for you and Kennis. ♥

Can't wait to see you!!! I may be a little later to meet on Friday because I got an interview for some short-term summer work, and that will probably take place Friday after work. I'll let you know after it's finalised.

It is a huge milestone and it makes me so so so relieved. I worry a lot about her, because she is so precious to me. Everyone thinks I am starting to show, if they know I am pregnant, if not I think they just think I gained weight lol You have to let me know!!!! ♥ My belly also feels all stiff under the skin, I need to moisturize. >>; But I am so happy, like so happy. Though I was to lie in the bed and just feel her kick now. lol
I am so so so so excited to see you and will buy the things you want tomorrow! This week end was so exhausting but other than laundry and some dishes I've gotten a lot done with my trip. And if you're late it is fine, just let me know and know where to meet! I can finally eat after 7pm!!!!!!!!
