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.

I prefer my internet family to my real family most of the time too! Sorry she wasn't more enthusiastic.

Two things: I know you wanted squeeing and all that, but a) she's expressing her enthusiasm in asking for the pictures and 2) she asked about how you're feeling. That's a big deal, especially as time goes on and people are going to start only asking how the baby is. Believe me.

I know you wanted more excitement from her, but she's expressing it in her way: Where are the picture where are the pictures what's the news i'm excited so send me pictures.

My mom was like that, and it was just her way of saying "yay grandbaby" :)
