preggo dreams

I just woke up to a dream worth sharing...
I was at my parents house, dad was in the living room as I ran around trying to find clothes to wear to church. I passed by the side-yard window and froze! I saw a platypus in the side yard right outside the window--and it was HUGE!

I quickly and quietly got my dad's attention as we watched this strange animal move every which way and look back at us, concerned. And then to our amazement, out came a baby platypus! No joke! Right in front of us!

I ran outside with my sister, Natalie in tow. She had a camera, that for some reason she didn't know how to operate. We wanted to take a picture with this cute brown fuzzy baby! Thankfully, our friends Julie and Sara came outside and actually had a camera they knew how to use and snapped a few shots.

We were all super pumped!--but we still had to get ready for church. As I finished getting ready, however, I started showing signs of labor. Yes, that's right. I guess all I needed was a little inspiration from the platypus. I then changed my church-clothing frenzy to labor-clothing and shared the news with my family. Wow.
Now to find a platypus in real life to watch give birth, so our baby will come!

... I should mention that --upon waking up-- I knew immediately that the animal in my dream was definitely NOT a platypus. It's face was completely different. The animal in my dream was a beaver -- so I guess that gives me a far greater chance to actually seeing one in the next couple of weeks! Beavers...way cuter!

And now, on to my day! Finish up my apple cinnamon cereal and head out to work!
