Just another day...

So yesterday I thought it would be just another, same as usual day. I got in the shower before heading off to work and I guess maybe it was too steamy or something, but I felt fine and then all of a sudden I knew I was going to faint, so I stepped out and somehow ended up on the floor of the bathroom, passed out. I woke up not feeling so well, but just got some breakfast and was back to normal, well... as normal as can be for the pregnant version of me. That was the first unusual event to start off the day. Anyway, I wasn't too worried because I have fainted many a times in my life and with all the light-headedness I've been experiencing while pregnant I knew it was only a matter of time before it happened. So off I went merrily on my way off to work...

This is me, arriving at work in the morning, ready for whatever the day had in store. Little did I know that there were 2 masked bandits waiting for me at the bank. I saw them lurking in the bank front lobby. They saw me and knew they were in trouble and took off running. I came running after them, full speed, managing to tackle both of them and hold them down until the police arrived. All of this while 5 1/2 months pregnant! What a morning!

:) ok, ok, the real story....

So I arrived at the bank at approximately 9:00 am on Tuesday morning. The entire parking lot was full of police cars so I could not enter. I parked over by Wendy's and walked over to see what all the commotion was about. About 30 police officers were standing in front of the bank so I had no idea what to think. My first thought was Hmmm, maybe I won't have to go to work today! The police officer informed me that someone had seen 2 men wearing ski masks come running out of the front of the bank and jump in a getaway car. The witness followed them in their getaway car as took off down the 126 freeway and while in hot pursuit, called the police.

Upon arrival, the police officers tried to contact the two opening tellers inside the branch who were completely unaware of what was going on. They called and after several attempts at trying to reach the inside employees, they decided to take drastic measures and break in to the bank! One of the officers took his baton thingy and broke through the glass of the side window, only to find the tellers both safely inside the branch, shocked to see the swarm of police officers coming through the window.

I guess the tellers had been in the vault counting cash and did not hear the phone ring when the police officers tried to get ahold of them. So it was all much ado about nothing, really! Well, sort of nothing...

turns out the license plate belonged to a rental car from Palmdale, CA and had been rented out to 2 hispanic males. As far as I know, they still haven't been caught. Apparently they were waiting in the front lobby where the ATM's are, for the branch openers. They expected the openers to come in around 8:30 and didn't know that they'd come in early, at 8:00 that day, to fill the cash machines. Had the openers arrived at 8:30, the masked bad guys would have been there to greet them, so it was a lucky escape!

The good news is that we only ended up with a missing window, the bad news is that I still had to work that day.

On another note, I have my next doctor's appt tomorrow with the specialist so I'll update again with more baby news after that! :)
