Babies on the Way!
What do you do when you’re at a CRAVE Portland party and you get this text message from a close friend: “Feel like flying to california right now?”
Well, if you’re me, you start laughing and remind your friend that you have two finals tomorrow and you can’t really afford to drop your stuff and fly to California right then. Then you let her tell you that her water broke … a month early … when she’s pregnant with twins.
Then, you start freaking out! We enjoyed the CRAVE Portland party for a bit more, but then left around 7pm. It’s all insane, but I told her that I would be there if I could, for the birth of the twins. Well, of all times! So, right now I’m waiting to hear back from her, but may be flying to San Bernadino tomorrow afternoon immediately after my two finals. Talk about feeling overwhelmed!
In her world, a few minutes equals an hour and three minutes. She was supposed to call and let me know the plan a while ago … but I’m still waiting. I don’t know whether to get in bed and try to get some sleep, and then get up early to pack and get ready or to get some stuff put together tonight in order to be ready in case she calls me. I’m torn! Being in the hospital, and being in labor doesn’t lead to an easy answer of the cell phone!
So, if you’re the praying kind, say a prayer for my friend. Say a prayer for my finals. Say a prayer that my head doesn’t explode waiting on hearing news!
