It was yesterday that I was at work, tearing out some carpet from an apartment downtown. Now it isn't unusual to find pennies, nickels or even Cheetos between the baseboards while pulling carpet. I take those coins as my "tip" for the job, but leave the snacks for the installers.
Yesterday , however, was different. Oh sure I found 13 cents in pennies, but I also found a little slip of paper from someone's fortune cookie. "Tomorrow your partner will tell you exciting news."
"Ok", I thought. "Maybe we'll be going to the hospital soon and our little girl will be here, that would be an exciting phone call!" Baby did drop ofer the weekend so she could come anytime.
You know me though, I don't take those silly fortunes seriously. That was until today.
Separate house, different part of town, and this time not even an apartment but a duplex, yet they still had the slip of paper in common. This time it read, "An unexpected event will soon make your life more exciting." unexpected? Really? (Like I didn't see this coming the past 9 months?)
Well, it's 11:48pm, and as I write this blog we have less than a half hour before this 'fortune' proves true. Since we are still at home practically in bed, I doubt anything interesting will happen in the rest of this day. The Dr. is in Seaside at a conference until Sunday, so we are trying to lay low until she returns. We would rather baby come sometime next week, so our Dr will be here.
This fortune thing is a little crazy, but hardly believable. It's like the psychic magazine's website that recently read, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the magazine is now out of print" (like they didn't see that one coming?)
Anyway, we are still waiting and getting more excited. our baby girl will be here very soon and we will be jumping for joy, but for now, Heidi is acting like Broccoli; takn' it easy and Veg'n-out.

We are thinking of you each day! Our baby drops a bit more all the time, and the contractions keep getting more intense. Our dr is only in town today this week, and I think he'll be back on Monday - I have an appointment this afternoon, so I'm hoping he checks for my "specs", just because I'm really curious. I have several people telling me that I have to hold her in until certain dates, July 28th from my mother, and August 4th from my friend who just became a mom/baby nurse at my hospital, but is doing her "women's health" training rotation for the next few weeks. I am hoping to go before August 4th, but we'll see. What's a few days, right?! Hope you're feeling well, and enjoying the relaxation time! I have the day to myself, as grandma has the girls until late tomorrow morning. I get a haircut and dr appointment, and I think even a date with my husband today! It's exciting! Love you guys!
dude ... creepy.
i bet one of your coworkers is planting them. :P
Well, you know that I am hoping for Aug 2nd, but any day that she decides to come will be great!
Well at least Tim didn't compare you to a big fat round tomato, Heidi. Oh wait, is that a veggie or a fruit? In any case, I am looking forward to when she arrives! And in the meantime, keep practicing your breathing!
well, another carpet tear out, today. Yet I made 13 cents, but I also got bit by fleas! (definitely not a "perk" of the job, but I love my family and will work hard for them.)
Looking forward to a great weekend!
can't wait for her to be here! many blessings on you two!! hugs!!!
