25th
august 1st.
so the doctor came in today and pretty much assured me that they are going to slice me open next friday and get this boy out. it doesn’t seem as though my condition is going to get better, so as long as it doesn’t get worse…
.. oliver kingslee will be born on august 1st. 14 days before my birthday, and making him a leo, just like me. i wonder how that dynamic is going to work out, with us both being fire signs, and mitch being a water sign. a big ole stubborn ass family, probably.
mitch wasn’t here with me today. he was out doing some sort of surprise. it’s 7 and he’s been gone since 12. very sneaky, that one. it makes me super curious as to what he could possibly have been doing all day long. i decided today i am not a fan of surprises. at all. but in his absense, my friend lauren came to see me. i haven’t seen lauren in years, literally. her husband is in the navy and they are getting ready to deploy to JAPAN! they have two kids, both under 4… what a life. i think we relate well to each other because she spends a lot of time alone with her husband at sea, and i spend a lot of time alone with mitch on tour. even though there’s a huge difference with those scenarios, when it comes down to it in the end, it’s really the same thing. it was nice to have someone to ask questions to that can understand my lifestyle, even to the smallest extreme. motherhood questions, of course. it seems to really be all i can think about, as i only have a week to prepare myself instead of the 7 i thought i had.
the only thing that upset me about her coming to visit, was that i again was reminded how shitty some of my “close” friends are. i think i’m just going to stop calling them close friends altogether at this point. i’ve been in here for almost a week, and she’s the only friend to have come see me. [sidenote to those who have planned arrangements to come see me; that’s different] my life is super changing really super fast and i’m dropping people faster than i would normally, but i really don’t need the bullshit. [[thank you lauren, for coming today and sitting with me. it was awesome and i am really happy you came. really. you opened my eyes to all kinds of things. xo]]
so mitch found out yesterday that metro is going to australia. he’s going to miss lisa and ryan’s wedding at the end of september to go, but how awesome of an experience for him?! i’m a little jealous, but he really deserves this. he’s been doing this shit for years now, and it’s finally starting to pay off. i really couldn’t be more proud of him! we still aren’t sure when he’s going to meet back up with the boys, his assistant mr. chris v himself, has been doing a great job taking care of things for mitch while he’s home, but he will need to get back out there. i’m anticipating he’ll stay home for 2 weeks or so after oliver comes home.. hopefully he stays long enough to spend a birthday with me. he’s never been home for my birthday before!
mitch is here with my cheesesteak. yum.
