I've said it before - I believe in signs. I think it goes back to my Catholic upbringing. Something about all those saints finding the image of Jesus or Mary in a tree stump or loaf of bread and seeing it as the sign to give their lives to God. I saw a dragonfly. I see it as a sign of good things to come. I may be deluding myself but I think we all need something to believe in and since I gave up religion for the time being, it's going to have to be insects.
Or this! This weekend is National Alpaca Farm Day. It's a little strange that a "day" is actually being held over two days, but when you're living the farm life I guess you can be a little loosey goosey about those things. I don't need someone to hit me over the head with a tree stump with the image of Jesus riding an alpaca on it. If this weekend is National Alpaca Farm Day and I just so happen to have been thinking of starting my own alpaca farm then someone's trying to tell me something.
But I think it's this sign I should be paying attention to:
You don't have to beat me over the head with a stump. Right now you could knock me over with a feather. I guess fate had a plan for us all along.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
ReplyDeleteBig dog licks of happiness from me to you!!!
xoxox!!!
Scary and fun! Congratulations! I hope you have an easy pregnancy. After feel bleck throughout my first preg. , my second I was filled with energy and only gained 23 lbs. My 2nd labor was spectacularly easy as well. It's the teenage years that are going to be my demise.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes!!!!
That's one big ass sign. With flashing lights and everything.
ReplyDeleteWhoot! Yay!
Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteSQUEEEEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratualtions.

I believe in signs too. And that one, my snarky friend, is the most beautiful of them all.
My heart is full. Congratulations, sweetie.
Oh. Chicky!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh!!! Ohhhhh....

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Mrs Chicky! I'm absolutely delighted for you!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sign all right. Welcome to the newly pregnant club.
ReplyDeleteWow, Congratulations! Makes me envious.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! Maybe that had something to do with your moody mood?
ReplyDeleteWonderful news. It seems to be going around the blogosphere. Is it like getting pregnant by sitting on a public toilet?
WOW! Congrats! You and Catherine are going to have to get those progress tickers!
ReplyDeleteSo I guess this means no crazy drunk night in Boston. ;)
H&H to you!

Using My Words
Congratulations, Mrs. Chicky!!! Truly wonderful news.

ReplyDeleteWheeeee! Mazel Tov. I'm SO happy for you. Is this going to be little Duckie, Goosie, or what?
ReplyDeleteIt seems some of us are able to make a decision while others are hoping that the urge will just go away already.
ReplyDeleteActually, you have given me hope (and not in the baby department) with your talk of signs. I am off to find my signs and hope that they all point to good luck.
Congrats! Now the wild ride really begins.
Congrats on entering a new stage in the crazy life! Best wishes on a happy pregnancy!

Congratulations. Is that baby going to be named some variation of Dragonfly.......or Alpaca?
Congrats! Explains the mood swings!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It was a sign! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The universe is amazing sometimes, isn't it. But this will definitely put a damper on your wine reviews! I'll be saving a really good bottle to celebrate with! :)
ReplyDeleteWell well, Mrs. Chicky! Think that's an alpaca in there?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, congratulations.
Maybe this was the "change" your brain has been screaming! CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteAnd, gosh, this is the 3rd pregnancy message I've read this morning! First Her Bad Mother, then Miss Zoot and now you! Loads of blogging babies!

ReplyDeleteIt's fun, trust me. Just like I wrote to Her Bad Mother, two is hard, but it's also a hell of a lot of fun. It's delightful chaos.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I just started reading you recently you really pulled me in with the posts about possibly having another baby, I guess the decision is made. I have two and would maybe like to have a third but am not great with decisions myself. Wishing you an easy and happy pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteYEAY! SO very happy and excited for you all. COngrats, congrats, congrats!

Didja already know when I saw you on Monday?!
Sincere congrats. Everything happens for a reason, right?!

That's a clear and good sign for sure!! Congratulations to you both!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so excited for you. I told Colin last night, when that little bird Twitter gave me the sign that another Chicky was on the way for you. There's nothing like seeing the test. Congrats!
