More house guests

My family is coming today! Since Wendy had her baby last week we've been relying on the kindness of family. Mom, Dad & Kate are all arriving in a few hours to help out this week. Of course, Kate's only staying until tomorrow morning so she can get back to IC for a drug test (it's a good thing, trust me).

The girls will be in heaven. So much attention! I think we may have to order pizza, since I'm not sure I have the energy to make that much food. My ovarian cysts are back, apparently. I noticed it first on Saturday afternoon, but thought nothing of it; I hadn't eaten very well the night before and assumed it was stomach cramps.

However, by Sunday afternoon that very specific pain in my right ovary was there. Ouch! I also have general cramping, which I never get, so, I have a prescription for painkillers waiting for me to pick up after work today. I hope, like last time, they shrink back down after a week, because this is not fun. It's still odd to me that I can feel my ovaries, because it's seems an odd thing to experience. Stomach - of course. Lungs, duh. Uterus, occasionally, but feeling my ovaries is like feeling my spleen, or liver.

I just want to be out of pain. My ankle is finally at about 90%, so once I get past this I might be able to actually start working out, which would be amazing. I plan on bundling the girls into the burley and going bike riding on a regular basis.

Saturday night we had our second official date since the girls were born. I say official, because we've used lots of babysitters with the girls, but it's always been for work related things. But Saturday was a date. Dinner and a movie, again. We're not exactly creative.

We saw 'Up'. What a lovely movie. I laughed, I cried, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a delight of a movie. I don't think there's been a Pixar movie yet I haven't liked. It's just such a simple method of storytelling. My only complaint was this movie contained a few more obvious laughts than most - like the 'Dogs Playing Poker' reference and little things like that. But such fun, all the same.
