Yesterday, right after I finished writing the last post, Lily got scheduled for an ultrasound at the hospital across the street from us an hour later. We still have to see a specialist to confirm (appointment on Friday) but the ultrasound lady told us that she could not find anything inside her body. Yay! And since we haven’t seen any more birthmarks popping up since she was about three weeks old, I hope it’s nothing to worry about.
And yesterday we got good news regarding a house, but I will update you about that later, nothing is 100% yet. But things are looking good!
We have exactly one month to finish off our lives here and we have plenty of stuff to deal with. We need to schedule dentist appointments, I need an orthodontics appointment, Thor needs a spa day and we need to schedule him for x-rays to make sure that the bladder stones hasn’t come back, Lily will see a specialist and then in three weeks she has her two month checkup, Jim apparently needs to get himself a tdap shot (because of the baby) and I need to get my second vaccine shot, I have my postpartum checkup next week, we need to pack our stuff in boxes and start selling the rest of our furniture, I need to send papers to have Lily become a Swedish citizen, plus we have Midsommar, my birthday and Fourth of July to celebrate. Busy 30 days for sure 🙂
I would also love love love to go to Manhattan one day but that might be too hot for Lily. But I would just love to walk around Central Park with the stroller and maybe sit down on the grass and have a little picnic (aka Lily gets boob). As of yesterday, NYC has lifted most covid restrictions so it would be so lovely to enjoy brunch at an outdoor seating somewhere on either Upper West or Upper East Side. I feel like I need some sort of closure, I need to say goodbye to New York City.
I can’t wait to leave Connecticut, I really don’t feel at home here, but I have started to feel a bit, hmm what should we call it… separation sadness to leave NYC. No, we haven’t lived there in over four years but we’ve been close enough and to not be able to go there unless I fly there and make a whole weekend trip out of it, it’s a bit emotional. I’ve been looking forward to move somewhere warm for such a long time and I really can’t wait for next month! I’m super excited! But, that doesn’t mean I can’t be emotional about leaving.
It’s nice to be able to feed my child wherever I am at the moment she is hungry, the beauty of breastfeeding
After she was done eating and had fallen asleep in my arms, I enjoyed a glass of wine to celebrate all the good news.
Such a lovely evening last night. I prefer a bit hotter temperatures but for Lily and Thor’s sake it was perfect:)
