Hey friends! I come to you this Saturday evening with a fun and silly post (Parker would agree that its silly for sure) sharing about something kinda weird and quirky but also kinda cool. It's been fun for me to think about over the years so I thought it deserved its own blog post. So without further ado.... The story of 1027.
Around the beginning of 2016, I started seeing the numbers 1027 a lot. It started out by randomly glancing at the clock at 10:27 am & pm every single day, no matter the time zone I was in. And every time that happened I thought of my childhood best friend, Breanne, because those were the last 4 digits of her phone number growing up (so I guess I've technically been seeing that number my entire life.... wow!). I thought maybe seeing 1027 so frequently was just a little nudge to reach out to her to see how she's doing so I did just that. Well, this continued on for a long time and I started seeing this number other places, too. Here's a random example for you:
I started following Tanya Rad (who is the co-host of my favorite podcast called Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad with premiered in 2017) on social media because I looooove her podcast. She also works on the Morning Show with Ryan Seacrest and their radio show is on 102.7 Kiss FM. They celebrate October 27th like a holiday because the date is 10/27 so every year around that date, those numbers are all over my IG. And lots of other things like that would happen. I saw 1027 EVERYWHERE and OFTEN!
I started to put a lot of stock into seeing this number so every year when October 27th would come around, I thought for sure something significant would happen... and I usually hoped that it related to having a baby whether it was getting pregnant, finding out I was pregnant, or have that be the due date of our baby. Please note that it was 2016 when this started happening which is also the year we started trying to conceive. That little fact seems significant.
Well fast forward to when we went through our IVF round last fall, our transfer was on October 23rd which means implantation could have happened any time within the following few days so I like to think that I was officially pregnant on October 27th haha. Some other coincidences with those numbers include: both Parker and I are 27 years old and October, the month we got pregnant, is the 10th month of the year. Baby girl's due date also consists of those numbers with it being in July (the 7th month) of 2020 and the actual date has a 1 in it but I'm not sharing the specific date publicly.
Also, on October 27, 2019, my mom was thinking about me a lot because she knew about this pattern and she decided to look up any scriptures she could find that had those numbers and she came across Mark 10:27 which says, "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Coincidence? I don't think so. I found that scripture to be super comforting as I know that the whole experience we had that I shared in this post regarding getting pregnant and Parker's residency match was all being directed by God. His hand was in every detail and I like to believe that this was His daily reminder that good things were coming and I needed to trust in Him.
I'm guessing baby girl will be born at either 10:27 am or pm on whatever date she decides to actually make her appearance but I guess we'll just have to wait and seeeee ;).

And here's a screenshot I found on my phone of 10:27 on 10/27 just for fun haha!
