Fortune Cookies

Sunday Curt and I went to dinner at Chen's Chinese and this was my fortune "Friends Long Absent are coming back to you."

Boy, did it ever come true! I've been emailing back and forth with my friend Bambi. (yes that is her given birth name, no she isn't a female entertainer) I haven't seen her in at least 6 months. We were in girl scouts together when we were in middle school and have gotten back in touch these last two years.

Then there is Ashlee we met in high school and played Volleyball together and used to be really close but we got tied up in our own lives... me getting married, her married and now with a 1 year old son. She wants me to teach her how to EBay... which I need to post myself! I've been busy with Lucas' room. (which by the way is 90% done... we have furniture in there now!!)

Last but not least is my friend Crystal. We became best friends in 6th grade at Bartlett middle school. Over the years we've always kept in touch and have one of those friendships where we can not talk for months and then we pick right back up. Well, she emailed me telling me to call her and that she is 11 weeks pregnant! I am so excited! I hope that we will get together with our kids and have little play dates! I had just been thinking about how I wish I had someone to be pregnant with! I never would have thought when we were in 6th grade wearing our converse allstars and flannel shirts talking about everything from music to clothes that we would be mommy's around the same time! We talked about all kinds of crazy pregnancy things yesterday on the phone.

So my fortune couldn't have been more dead on! Hmm... maybe I should have played the lottery numbers listed on my fortune.

Yesterday was also my appointment. Everything is fine... I didn't gain a single pound from last month to this month... which is so surprising to me because after the whole painful dental procedure I LOVE cold food A.K.A. ice cream... and I have been eating it every night... with hot fudge.... and I've traded in my snickers for frozen pizzas! Oh and if given the choice between a nice fancy place to eat... take me to somewhere I can get a GOOD cheese Burger and fries!

Oh, and while we were at my appointment we got to see a 4 hour baby that had been born at the birth center... a little boy. He was so tiny! So cute! I can't wait to see what mine will look like!

As of today I am 7 months (28 weeks) and I've gained a total of 9 lbs... So I am quite happy... My mom went to my appointment with me yesterday then took me to lunch. We went to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum (which i didn't know had a place to eat) and it was VERY nice! They have a menu or a hot buffet and salad bar (which is like $6 with a drink!) The dining room is modeled after an English pub and it is open for lunch Monday-Sat 11AM-2PM. I can't wait to take Curt there one Saturday! (too bad he is working this Saturday). That's OK I'm supposed to teach Ashlee the ends and outs of EBay on Saturday... and tomorrow Lisa and I are going to do baby shower invites and get them out in the mail Saturday.

Well I REALLY need to start posting things on eBay. Maybe after a nice bowl of Wal-mart brand ice cream The cheaper the better!
