Once More, With Feeling

I am feeling kind of lousy.  The first round of antibiotics did nothing for me--I've been coughing as much as ever and still feel sick and run down.  Called the doctor first thing this morning and when I still hadn't heard back by 3pm, called again.  So starting tomorrow I'm on a new antibiotic and finally, cough medicine.  And now that the kitchen is tidied up from dinner, I feel like all I will be able to do shortly is drag myself to bed.  I'm hoping to get some reading done, but if it turns out to be sleep time, that's okay too.

JLO had a routine ob visit today and like the good girl she is, she reported in afterwards.  The heartbeat remains around 150, so we're still figuring it's a girl.  (KT dismisses our old wive's tale in favor of the Chinese birth chart, according to which it is DEFINITELY a girl.)  Forgot to ask when she goes back.  Hard to believe the end is in sight and she'll be seeing the doctor more than once a month.

I have booked my ticket to see KT and then to get from her to JLO.  I'm happy with the prices I found, which is always a good thing, especially since it includes 2 suitcases.  The husband isn't sure if he will come up after the baby arrives.  He's definitely not an infant person--much prefers little people who can interact and do things.  But he doesn't want JLO to think he's not thrilled or interested.  We'll be up there in the summer, so he thinks it might be better to wait until then.  It's always so difficult to make sure no one takes things wrong or gets their feelings hurt when it's not meant to happen, especially when one of those involved is a hormonally rich pregnant woman!

This isn't the most interesting blog, but it's what's up at the moment...
