The Amaryllis Baby Theory

Alright Folks we are on to week 38! Last week proved to be eventful when after my regular Monday afternoon checkup my Dr. informed me that I was dilated to a 3! Well after Jake dropped me back off at work I realized that I was bleeding pretty heavy so I called my nurse and asked her what I needed to do, she told me I needed to go to Labor and Delivery immediately.  When we got there they hooked us up to the monitor and discovered that I was having regular contractions about 3-5 minutes apart.  Unfortunately they weren't heavy enough for it to be considered full labor.:( So Jake and I departed with the nurse telling us that he could be 2 days out or possibly 2 weeks but there wasn't anyway of knowing.


So....my newest theory is the Amaryllis Baby Theory.

You see I have this Amaryllis that our sweet neighbor gave Jake and I for a wedding gift.  Unfortunately the first time it started to bloom I knocked it over while cleaning and broke it.
:(  Well we learned from another neighbor that if you cut them down to the bulb and put them in a cold dark place to keep them dormant they will bloom again. So I cut it down and a little while later sure enough it was ready to bloom just like they had told us. Unfortunately about that time we moved to Boise and the move did not treat our poor Amaryllis well so yet again we put it away and let it go dormant and brought it out to find that it grew beautifully but it did not produce any buds.:(  Alright this is when this story gets exciting people we are on to round 4 with this Amaryllis!

As you can see our Amaryllis is just about ready to bloom! Oh and yes that is our backyard all dug up! Jake has been working hard to get our sprinkler system in but more on that later. So my theory and how it relates to the baby is that I have a feeling that when the Amaryllis blooms the baby will come! For more proof I went to get a pedicure this weekend and the Asian lady that was doing my toes that did not speak any English told the Asian guy next to her to that she wanted to do a flower on my toes as a gift. Well what flower did she paint?!?!?! An Amaryllis! Obviously they don't give out fortune cookies because it's a nail salon and not a Chinese restaurant but I feel like she was trying to tell me something.

You see picture of an Amaryllis.... 

Picture of the Amaryllis on my toes.... Please disregard the rest of my feet and keep in mind that sausage toes come with the territory when you are 9 months pregnant!

So folks the moral of the story, expect this Baby boy to be here in 1-2 days MAX! I also just

 walked up and down the six flights of stairs at my work 3 times. If that's not giving fate a helping hand then I don't know what is. 

Sincerely, 

The girl with the baby belly that is going to pop in 1-2 days MAX!
