Lucky Signs?

When you are trying to get pregnant you start looking into every single thing for a "sign" that you are pregnant. I did it every month for a freaking year. I'd think, "well the due date would be on the anniversary of our fist kiss so it MUST be fate!" or "the shadow on the wall looks like a plus sign soooo obviously I'm pregnant." Um yeah... that didn't really work out.

Then after 11 months of this with no luck, you tell the universe to screw off and stop sending obscure signals your way.

Well apparently yesterday I was in the mood to test the universe again. I don't know if it was all of the four leaf clover decorations or the rainbow cookies, but I was feeling lucky.  I went grocery shopping after work and as I stepped into the store, a thought popped into my brain, "If you see a pregnant woman in the supermarket, it will be a good sign."  As soon as the thought popped into my head I wanted to smack myself. Noooooo.

I went about my business getting the items that I needed for my Thai salad. No pregnant women to be found. I got online (the 12 items or less lane) and waited for my turn. As I was standing there I heard a woman speaking to her son behind me. She said, "Well the popcorn is for Mama." I continued to stand there glaring at the guy counting out exact change to pay for his groceries (ain't nobody got time for that!) when I heard it: "Well, I guess the popcorn is really for the baby." I turned my head slowly to my right and saw her. A woman with a big baby bump with a popcorn craving. JACKPOT.

I smiled to myself.  I hate to go here, but it must be a sign... right? ;)
