BUNGEE JUMPING!!

No the title of this post is not a typo-- what you don't think people should go bungee jumping when they are 8 months pregnant?? Well how much fun are you.
Really what it means is how I am feeling!!

Let me explain - - -

Have you ever wanted to go bungee jumping -- I have (and I did!) You are soo excited you can't wait to get to the bungee jumping place.

You get in line to purchase your ticket! Hooray -- here we go-- I'm gonna jump off that tower -- yes I am!!

You climb the ladder to the top of the tower! Feeling good-- I'm going bungee jumping-- yup-- I know I'm cool !!

There is a huge line of people in front of you -- and as you watch each person get their ankles strapped together and jump off the tower head first into what could be the end of them as we all know it-- you find comfort in the fact that there are more people in line in front of you -- and those nervous -- anxious-- excited butterflies have time to settle down!

Now to put this in terms that you might understand-- this is me-- I wanted to go bungee jumping soo badly (have a baby!)

I got in line and purchased my ticket (Got knocked up!)

Climbed up the huge ladder to the tower (Have had a fairly uneventful -- even described as easy pregnancy!!)

Have a huge line of people in front of me ! (Both my sister-in-laws were due before me!)

I felt no worries-- there are 2 babies to show up before its my turn to jump.

Well a couple of weeks ago-- it hit me! As my sister-in-law announced on a tuesday - that she would be induced the next morning-- I started to panic-- the line was not so long any more-- and it was almost my turn! EEK-- they are gonna make me jump off this platform-- no other way off the platform-- can't climb down the ladder I came up (wouldn't that be weird?) As I watched the strap her ankles together and she smiled her big excited smile and dove off the tower-- head first-- I was even more anxious -- scared -- and not really excited any more!

To make matters worse-- I looked over the edge of the platform-- and what did I see-- oh no-- her rope has snapped and she is plummeting towards the ground-- (She ended up having an emergency c-section and the baby was in the NICU for a day or so!) But all is well she bounced when she hit the ground-- instead of splatting!! She's healthy, happy and the baby is perfect ( he is seriously soo cute!)

But still I cant' help but feel a little paniced as I wait here ankles strapped-- holding on for dear life to the sides of the bungee platform--

But what can I do --

3 - 2 - 1 -- BUNGEE!!!
