Ok....so am I the only pregnant woman that has experienced crazy (I mean CRAZY) dreams? I would love to here responses to this blog. :)
So let me start by telling you first...Declan and I are GREAT! He has become very ACTIVE lately and Daddy (Joshua) felt him move for the first time on Saturday. He was very excited and since has felt him a couple of times. I think we have a soccer player on our hands, he's got some strong legs! Let me just tell you this is an AMAZING feeling! I love being able to feel him daily as a reminder that God has trusted me to carry his child for 9 mths. This is incredible!!!! I am blessed. I am loving being pregnant, even though I may complain about the times where he likes to sit close to my sciatic nerve and cause my leg to go numb and a pain shoot from my back to my right leg, and the number of times I pee daily. I LOVE IT! Declan is my TRUE joy and I get so excited to think about meeting him in December.
I am still craving lots of fruit and LOVE me some Apple Jack's in the morning! I am sleeping ok now besides the crazy dreams and number of times I have to get up b/c he is on my sciatic nerve or just to go to the bathroom. Sometimes it's hard to go to sleep b/c when I lay down at night is when he is the most active. (Just like his Daddy, a night owl.) I just lay there and feel him move and think how incredible it is for women to experience this and sad that Joshua could never know this feeling.
Alright, so enough anticipation. Let me elaborate a little more on these CRAZY dreams.
So...several times I have had dreams where Josh (my loving, sweet, amazing husband) leaves me for another woman or cheats on me and doesn't care to tell me about it. :) Remember these are ALL dreams b/c I know that he would NEVER do this to me but I wake up so mad sometimes or sad I just want to punch him. haha. Which in turn makes him mad b/c he says, "I didn't even do anything! It's a DREAM!" haha. I can't help it and I have read in many pregnancy books/websites that women will experience dreams like this during pregnancy. So, evidently this is normal but I hate it! I once woke up crying I was so upset...stupid hormones! lol
Another dream I had was that my dog, Scout (who currently resides with my grandparents) was being chased by a Lion and almost eaten several times. I forced myself to wake up from this dream before something bad happened. ( I love my Scout) OK....now for the GRANDDADDY of them all DREAMS. (Actually this one happened last night...so while still fresh in my mind I will share) *Note: Some of the people in this dream I have failed to tell them of this dream yet. :) Enjoy!
So the scene starts with Me, Joshua, and 2 of my very dear friends, Gina & Lauralee at a Grocery story. (Not your ordinary grocery store, this store had apartments in it!) So we walk in and I immediately notice, "Hey Whitney, where are your pants?" thinking to myself. I stand in the middle of a grocery store with nothing but a T-Shirt, underwear, and my cell phone tucked into my underwear. But no one, not even those with me act as though it's a big deal, so I continue to shop. I head in one direction, Josh in another, and Lauralee in another. Gina says she's going to visit her sister in the apartments. (Remember there are apartments in this grocery store. :) ) So I start walking in one direction and notice a bunch of Bowling Green Police Officers. (The only reason I recognize them is b/c I see my friend/officer David Grimsley) I go to walk in their direction and quickly notice that one of the police officers just KNOCKS David out! ( I mean like punches him so hard he falls to the floor) I run over quickly and ask, "What happened!?! Why did you do that!?!" The other office responds, "He passed out!" I said , "NO HE DIDN'T!!! YOU PUNCHED HIM!" The other officers agree, "No...he passed out!" I look down to check on David and quickly notice it's not David anymore! It's Blake Francis! I am completely confused at this point. Then "random" woman states, "He's dead" but continues to perform CPR. All of a sudden Blake sets us and says, " What's up? What happened?" (Blake your a miracle :) ) I was completely confused and this time and decided I was leaving. (No David in sight) I quickly pull my cell phone from my underwear ( haha...sorry. I just think it's funny where I stored it) and call Josh and Lauralee, no answer. I get ahold of Gina who is on the way back to the front of the store b/c she explains something about "diseases" (Gina...still didn't figure that out). So here I am at the front of a grocery store sitting on a park bench waiting for everyone. I start to notice these two older men (Late 80s) in a fight over an older woman (late 80s). I know they are older b/c it's exactly how you would imagine old men to fight at that age, slow and clumsy. haha. So anyway... they are fighting over their "Hotty woman" but stop fighting in the middle to embrace a kiss. (WHAT!?!) Yes...it happened in my dream. Josh then walks up, "Says what's going on!?!" We leave, the end. hahaha...Ok...I know I am CRAZY! These are just the beginning of these crazy dreams I guess, more to come soon. :)
Life of being pregnant.
Thanks for reading.
Whitney
