E-mail from Mom

[judecorp]

So my mom is always like, "When are you going to send ultrasound pictures?" and on and on. She starts calling the first day I get home. I actually almost feel guilty that I don't scan them in that day or whatever, the way she goes on about it.

So today I actually sent her all of the pictures and added the most recently belly picture. You know, she's far away, maybe it would make her feel like a part of things.

I got an e-mail back. It said:

Hey, thanks. How are you feeling?

Yeah, thanks Mom. Maybe I should just keep my business on the internet. Y'all are way more excited about stuff.

The thing is, she never /sounds/ excited. But this isn't a new problem. I mean, we're not terribly close and we talk maybe once every two-three weeks. But I guess I was hoping to rate more than a 2 sentence e-mail, esp. when she wrote me three paragraphs about how her work was involved in Extreme Makeover - Home Edition.

Although I /am/ surprised that she asked me how I was feeling. Usually she doesn't. Usually she just talks about herself until she says she has to go or I say I have to go.

Whatever, it's not important. I'm sure I'm just feeling sorry for myself today and someone will chime in about how I should be lucky for just having a Mom and on and on and on. I just really wish there was ONE person in my actual personal non-online life who was actively jazzed about our having a baby.
