ADVERTISEMENTS

Thank you all for your congratulations and concern. We are still so excited, and still just a little bit in shock. I mean we were sitting up at the lake house this afternoon with Landon, marveling at how much he seemed to change in two days, and I couldn't believe that just three days earlier we were up at the lake, marveling at the Landon, and we didn't have a house. Now we (almost) do. Getting married, having a baby - these things did not make me feel like a grown up. Having conversations that include "down payment", "mortgage", and "escrow" do. I'm (almost) a homeowner. After 10 million years in school, I'm going to have a full-time job. I'm feeling less like I'm playing an adult and more like I actually am one.

I did get to a doctor last night - a lovely little clinic near our new house. The doctor was wonderful and very thorough. He had some blood drawn for a CBC to see if what we were dealing with was even bacterial (since I wasn't responding to the antibiotics AT ALL), and it turns out it's viral. He asked if I'd had a flu shot (yes) and said that he had seen several people with terrible sinus-seeming-infections that were actually viral and possibly some odd variation of the flu. He gave me a shot of cortisone to help with the swelling that was threatening to split my head open, and I'm happy to report that it's working! I woke up this morning and my first thought was: "I don't have a headache!!!". It has since returned, but nothing like what it was before. My jaw no longer hurts to open and close and my eyes don't hurt when my eyelids close over them. I believe I will be able to get on the plane and return to Chicago, which is good, because while I'm excited about Austin, I still love my Windy City.

The home inspection is tomorrow, our lender has almost all our documents, I don't want to bore a hole in my head, and I'm watching Enchanted with my mom while Landon sleeps upstairs. Things are pretty fantastic.
