[family stuff] So, my cousin is pregnant

6/7 months along

due sept 9th

it's a little girl

JUDGING her a bit because they want to name her Aloy Marie

but there are definitely more cringey video game names they could give her

and it IS a video game reference, she told me

no one is gonna be with her during delivery tho, the father will be in prison and so will her mother /eyeroll

just when she finally gets her life under control, her family spirals

so i'm thinking of going up to be with her for delivery

especially since... her appointment yesterday revealed that Aloy has an enlarged heart

I know it's not an immediate Doom but she doesn't need to be alone then

and I'm going to try making her a baby blanket

our Baba made us whole outfits when we were born (I still have mine, in pristine condition I'm happy to say) but I'm not as skilled as Baba, so I'm gonna do my best

oh fuck

yes please make sure she has family support

My mom is going to talk to my dad about the three of us going up for her because she specifically mentioned missing my dad when we talked this morning

And we’re trying to get her in contact with her dad even though he’s been distant since remarrying
