Thank you!!</p> <p>@Alivoo01: Aww! So cute! Did you get a video of your family opening them? I was thinking it would be awesome to hide the video camera somewhere so I could watch the reactions after :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-fortune-cookie-sayings#post-460280 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:02:24 +0000 MaisyMay 460280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a cute idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-fortune-cookie-sayings#post-460214 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:32:59 +0000 Alivoo01 460214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We thought about doing this, but a friend of ours knows how to make large fortune cookies so we just did a generic English saying on the front like "an addition to the family in the near future looks promising". Then on the back where it normally says "Learn Chinese", we put the Chinese word for each respective person opening the cookie, so the Chinese word for grandma, grandpa, uncle, etc. And the lucky numbers is our due date.</p> <p>Can't wait to see how your hubby reacts when he opens his fortune! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-fortune-cookie-sayings#post-460212 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:32:15 +0000 Ash 460212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saw these on a website...<br /> An important person will be pushed into your life come September.<br /> The smart thing is to prepare for the unexpected, especially once you're expecting.<br /> A member of your family will soon have an unexpected expense and responsibility.<br /> Happy news is on its way to you.<br /> Nature, time and patience are required for new life.<br /> A pleasant surprise is waiting for you come September.<br /> A member of your family will soon do something that will surprise you.<br /> Congratulation!

You're about to make a new lifelong friend.<br /> -there is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it<br /> -There will always be delightful mysteries in your life.<br /> -Babies are Mother Nature's way of saying there is more to life than sleep<br /> - Great gifts come in small packages<br /> -A mother understands what a child does not say<br /> - Happy news is on its way to you!</p> <p>i'd like some amusing ones in there too, so please make suggestions! any get short quotes or little saying will work =) </p>
