I think it was in February or March when I was in my kitchen cooking and looked up to see an odd looking brown praying mantis on the wall. OH told me there is an old wives tale about a praying mantis appearing in the home when someone is pregnant. At that point I either was still pregnant or had just had my miscarriage, but it was interesting because I did miscarry and the preying mantis was brown looking and sick looking.
I didn't think much of it because it's an old wives tale but I'm obviously pregnant now and know it and I looked up on the wall right in front of my computer while I'm working and what do I see? A big, healthy looking, bright green praying mantis doing a little jig on the wall lol I was like, "Nooo wayyyy!" I called OH and he saw it too when he came home. Eventually it crawled far enough down the wall that I got it on a piece of paper and put it outside, but I swear to god, the thing kept looking at me when it was on the wall, turning it's big head with it's big eyes towards me. Haha! I wonder if there is something to the old wives tale? It was cute, either way, and made me smile, so I thought I'd share!
