<----a metaphor for my life right now....
so today was/is my due date...we celebrated by going to church and meeting up with my dad and grandparents for lunch and some shopping for bryson for fall at the mall.
i decided i shouldnt leave the house anymore.
i was in the store Crazy 8...the barely-legal-to-work girl at the counter comes over to me...
ANNOYING GIRL: "Soooooo...when are you due?"
ME: "Today, actually."
ANNOYING GIRL: "OOOHHHhhhhhhh...uhhhh...Please don't go into labor in my store!!"
ME (Through gritted teeth): "I dont know....I just might...watch out!!!"
ANNOYING GIRL: "Ha! Well....if you do....I got your back...I will call 911...the ambulance isn't too far."
ME: Exited store as quickly as possible...
What has kept me laughing is that Bryan kept recreating this song, with new lyrics:
"Somebody call 911...shorty havin baby on my store floor....oh no!!"
there was much more to his song...i was laughing so hard i thought he was gunna put me in labor...its still in my head...part of me wants to go back and break my water all over her store...
in case you are curious - i am doing really good...still feeling good and thinking it could be a bit of time yet...i think that was perhaps the dumbest exchange of comments i have ever received in all 3 of my pregnancies and i just knew you would appreciate it!!

Oh my gosh. Because, if you labor started while you were standing in the store, simply driving your own car to the hospital wouldn't be fast enough, you would need an ambulance.
That is seriously the number one problem with birth in America today. The only source of information most people have of it is the totally inaccurate portrayal in we see in the movies. I "miss" the days that we learned things from our elders.
Do you know what's awesome? Online shopping. You get to avoid the mall and all of the inevitable stupidness that comes with it :)
But seriously, olive juice kids has some adorable fall clothes and sometimes they have a decent sale that makes them somewhat affordable.
whats funny rashelle is that when i got home i totally started shopping for him online...but i wanted the whole walking around thing to happen...today i just went to a secluded bike trail to do my labor-hopefully-inducing walking...
and olive juice kids is adorable!!! makes me want to live somewhere COLD!
But if you didn't go to the mall you'd have never got to hear bry's cool version of 911! haha!
