My mom arrives for a three-week visit tomorrow. Mom hates to fly. Two things have gotten her on an airplane in the past five years: her childrens' weddings and the birth of her first grandchild. Even then, she'd have preferred to take the train. Two things are drawing her here: one, an art museum with unrivalled priceless collections; and two, the prospect of getting a glimpse of her future grandchild at Wednesday's ultrasound. Well, there's also the fact that I asked her to come and hold my hand as we prepare for packing out in a few weeks. Six months pregnant and planning for a transAtlantic move? Hell yes, I want my mommy!
