Happy Mother’s Day! Kevin said that to me this morning, and it made me cry! I don’t know why, it just did. Kevin and I had a beautiful 2 days! Very romantic! We went to Bar Harbor last night, and stayed in a cabin. A "quaint" cabin. It was white with red trim, #5, with flower boxes outside underneath each front window (there was one window in the back that overlooked a pretty lawn and a grove of pine trees.) Inside the cabin was a kitchenette to the right, equipped with a stove and refrigerator and all of the dishes and silverware. To the left was a white wicker couch with a matching coffee table. There was also a table and chair set with flowers, and that’s where I ate the breakfast that my loving husband cooked for me. (sausage and scrambled eggs, and of course milk!) I wish I had had a camera with me, because I would have loved to have a picture of that beautiful cabin. (Guess I will just have to prize the memories.) Today was absolutely beautiful! We walked to Sand Beach, walked ALONG the beach, walked 1/2 mile UPHILL to an attraction called "Bubble Rock" and we had a picnic on Cadillac Mountain. The time together did wonders for Kevin and I, and our relationship. (The only thing that dampened my spirits was the fact that my legs were killing me – have been for 2 days – EXCRUCIATING!!) Yesterday I got my ears pierced again, now I have 4 unnatural holes in my head! My ears hurt like hell for an hour and 1/2 afterwards, but they are ok now – I picked out earrings with my birthstone, 24-karat gold/surgical steel posts. I have to wear them ALWAYS for 6 weeks, and I’m not used to sleeping with earrings on, so I have to get used to it. They don’t hurt anymore – Thank God.

Let’s see, any other news? Ah yes – my mother is moving to a place called "Monson". She’ll never sit still! I applied for Medicaid. Yup, Kevin makes under thier restrictions, so I qualify, and I’m just waiting for an answer to whether I am approved or not. It sure will help with bills! Hopefully I will know before June 2 – my next visit. Speaking of the baby, I think I felt movement on Friday night and early this morning. I think. I hope. I can’t wait until the 26th, maybe I will walk away from EMMC knowing if I am going to have a son or a daughter!

I also "sort of" made up with Lori. I went into Rite Aid, and asked her if we could talk – she came out to the house, and I guess it’s okay. I don’t want to be close, but now when I go to Dawna’s, I will be comfortable.
