Why baby will be born this weekend (maybe)  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Just got back from picking up FMLA paperwork from my doc and found out he is NOT on call this weekend.: Ugh! The whole reason I went to him was because he is at 90% of the births. Oh, gee whiz. I bet I go into labor tonight. Tomorrow we are going to the zoo to visit the storks.
No, seriously, we are. 2 days before dd was born, we took ds to the zoo. It was our first trip to that zoo. We were looking at some birds and I said, "gee, wonder what kind they are". Dh read the sign and said "American Storks" ha ha ha. So, I said out loud "I have a request to make!" It was very crowded and many people were laughing with us ( and at a very pregnant momma). Dd was born about 48 hours later. So, tomorrow, I am going to make my request. Between that, and the doc not being on call, I bet this is the weekend.
Kinda makes me laugh, cause that is all I can do at this point. I want to hold this new baby so badly that my arms ache.

I love your stork story! Jeremy and I had an advent calendar last year, and we fell behind on opening the doors... it happened to be a Dutch calendar, and apparently the Dutch believe that it's lucky to have storks nest on your chimney, so, lo & behold, we opened the door for December 8... when I had ovulated & we had said, what the heck, let's try... and there was a STORK!!!

We were still waiting to test at that point. Were we ever freaked out!
Good luck, & I hope your babe will arrive soon!

Well, we went to the zoo and made our request. The storks were there hanging out with the giraffes. They didn't look too busy to me. Hope no one thinks that I am taking this too seriously. All I can do is just laugh and look for a distraction at this point.
