Dreams… February 27, 2009

Woah! Holy Cow! The crazy dreams have finally started.

Seriously…I had several back to back last night. I woke in one of those WTF?!?!? moments.

The first dream really wasn’t too bad…but it was still messed up. I was out shopping at the mall with several of my friends from home…and for some reason..right in the middle of the mall there was a Kroger. Apparently this wasn’t just any Kroger. This Kroger had a Hair Salon, a Spa area, and of course a doctor’s office (because grocery shopping/doctor’s visits go hand in hand, right?). So anyway, I made my way into Kroger b/c I knew I had my ultrasound appointment there. I went in (by myself…I have no idea where my husband was in this whole scenario) and came out maybe 20-30 minutes later knowing that I was having a little boy. I then met up with all of my friends and showed everyone the pictures and told them it was a boy….That was pretty much the end of that dream.

On to the next dream…Flash-forward several months. Apparently I had the baby a little early…or something. But I don’t remember any of the birth. All I know is that in the dream I’m waking up and realizing that I’m at my parent’s house. I freak out and realize that it’s the middle of the week and I’m missing work. So I’m quickly trying to get dressed and get ready to head out the door when I realize that my mom is trying to pass the baby to me. She had to sit me down and explain that my boss would understand why I’m not at work since I had the baby the day before.

I calmed down a bit and realized that my mom was probably right…but then I started to freak out again b/c I realized that I had never fed the baby…and that it must be starving! I had this flashback to the hospital and remember that they kept telling me not to feed they baby while I was there…and I was so mad about my experience at the hospital.

It essentially was one messed up dream. It was really strange too b/c I didn’t have anything ready for the baby. We didn’t have a crib, actually we put a couple blankets in an empty drawer and put the baby in there (I completely blame a post I read earlier this week on Jen’s page (I would add a link here…but apparently my work computer is blocking that option)).

So yeah, I woke up so confused this morning. And even more confused since I felt like I had already told everyone we were having a boy and in the second dream I’m pretty sure that it was a little girl.  I guess we’ll find out for sure March 18th!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Second Trimester Already? February 25, 2009

So, I’m about a week behind on this post….but better late than never right?

Today I am one day over the 15 week mark. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long already. I’m finally starting to show a little bit and relying more and more on those not so fashionable, but super comfy maternity pants. I’m seriously considering never going back to pant with buttons. But who knows…someday I may want to get back into the buttoned pant wearing crowd.

Anyway, I’m been really really bad at posting lately. So, I’ll catch up in what’s been going on in my life.

1) I got a new job!  Well…it’s technically a new job..but it’s still within my current company. I found out about the job almost two weeks ago. And then I start my part time days (half in each department) this week. So I’ve got two week of part time and then finally March 9th I transition to my new position. I’m seriously excited about the new position!

Let’s see…We’ve also had another appointment since my last post. It wasn’t terribly exciting. Actually..it was almost more of a disappointment. The practice I’m at has 5 doctors that you rotate through. I met doctor C. at my last appointment. He seemed like a very nice person…but seriously…my appointment probably lasted all of 5 minutes. I had a couple questions for him..but I ended up feeling like he had blown me off. So I left more frustrated than I had been before I walked in for the appointment.

In other pregnancy related news. I am finally awake! Finally! I haven’t been this awake since Thanksgiving. And for the most part, my appetite has come back. The only problem is now I’m awake and can’t get myself to fall asleep and I’m constantly hungry. Oh, and to top those off..I’ve welcomed the heartburn and migraines! Yay!

Alex is finally coming around and being much more supportive of the pregnancy. I bought him the Expectant Father for Valentine’s day and since then he’s been reading a little each night and telling me all about it. It’s actually really cute. He even started reading into the kinds of foods I should be eating. So he’s been taking over much of the cooking.

I’m a slacker… February 2, 2009

Hi Internet people! I’ve been hiding…on my couch..or on my bed…or really anywhere that might be comfortable to sleep. Seriously! If I would let myself..I could probably sleep for 14+ hours…get up for a couple..and then take a nap again. Apparently this thing called “work” means I can’t have my way. But I’m adjusting…slowly. I’m hoping everyone’s prediction will come true and here in a couple weeks I’ll start getting some of my energy back.

In good news…my morning sickness…um..wait…my all-day sickness…isn’t quite as bad as it was a few weeks ago. Sure, I’ve still got my moments where nothing but applesauce or frozen strawberry bars sound good (seriously…frozen strawberry bars = amazing!!). But I’m at least trying to eat at least one normal meal a day, instead of the steady stream of smoothies I ate for the first two months.

And speaking of months (or in this case…weeks), tomorrow marks 12 weeks! I can’t believe it’s been that long already! I’ve already had to move into some maternity pants. In fact..I had to plan a special shopping trip this weekend to go purchase the said pants. Holy cow! are these things comfortable! not exactly stylish…but boy do I feel like I could take a nap in them!

Oh, and an update on those ultrasound pictures I said I’d post weeks ago…We’re taking a trip up to see my parents and a few friends this weekend and I’d like to show my family the pictures before I post them for the world to see. Don’t worry though..I’ll post my blurry, but still cute little blob photos sometime soon!
