If I Was a Rich Girl...

And I had all the money in the world, I'd like to buy:

Cannon 50mm lens so I can take beautiful pictures of Spawnie when she arrives. The first photo I want to emulate is one like this:

(picture is priceless, lens is $100)

External pocket hard drive to store all of Spawnie's picture's on.

$40

3D/4D ultrasound so we'd have a DVD video to remember Ladybug in my tummy plus have a sneak peek at her cute looks.

$75

Maternity photos! Good news, I found a photographer! Tara from Forever Bliss Photography who does GREAT work and doesn't charge an arm and a leg for the digital files on CD! $75

A NICE glider chair. I registered for a simple one:That we'll probably buy but I'd LOVE to get a nice soft one like this.

$360

A Prenatal MassageSomething I've been wanting to go for since I found out I was pregnant. Ok, maybe it's just an excuse to get pampered. $80

And last but not least.

or

Why not?

What about you? If you were a rich girl?...

Foreshadowing?

While I was away: Written in my journal 10/8 and saved for today.

I had a dream I was pregnant. Sort of... I had a dream I peed on a pregnancy test and it said "pregnant." I was so happy, and so was my husband.

Then I woke up.

Could it have been my mind playing tricks on me? Or trying to tell me something?

PS: Someone hacked into the Overall Blog awards :( So The Bump started it over and are asking for people to COMMENT about why they think the particular blog should win. If you could take a few moment to write your thoughts about my blog down on their site I'd greatly appreciate it! I know I'm up against amazing bloggers, but I feel like I have more of a chance now that it's not about the numbers. Here's the link.

The False Symptoms

The past few days I haven't had much time to really think about blogging... I mean really, if you couldn't tell, yesterday my post was kind of like "Wahm bam, thank you ma'am" I didn't feel like adding more than my raw journal entry, and that's what we got. To be honest, my eyes were drooping and my head nodding off by the time I hit "publish."

When I woke up this morning I read it over again, praying I didn't have spelling mistakes. I didn't, just a sentence left half-written: "I almost bought a First Response early detection test but."

....Yea, that's how I left it. Oh dear. Yes, I've completed the sentence now in case you want to re-read the post.--I know you were dying to know the rest of that thought.

Oh well, that's how it gets sometimes right?

I'm not going to lie, it has to do with the fact that I can't stay up past 10 lately. In fact, I just woke up from a 3-hour nap. Part of the cause could be because my husband was watching golf--Perfect napping television... Or the fact that our couch is very comfortable... But every day this week?

I know chronic sleepiness is a pregnancy symptom, and I'm not implying that I'm pregnant, but instead wondering if it's possible that when that time comes, these non-symptoms will intensify with the real symptoms.

For example... I get random cravings. I guess it's normal for every woman every now and then to want a taste of chocolate RIGHT NOW...But sending my husband out for a late night run for hot dogs and donuts doesn't sound like the "Average-Jane" situation to me... Or does it? What about oranges and funnel cake? Tacos and chocolate-covered strawberries? Fried chicken and watermelon... (Ok, maybe the last one isn't so weird).

All of these random combinations are things I have craved recently and felt like I must eat it right then! It would be nice to at least have the excuse of pregnancy to want such things at such random times but I don't.--And it only makes me worry my hungers will get weirder and intensify when I am pregnant.

And what about my sleepiness and strange intense dreams? Will getting pregnant automatically throw me into the realms of dreamless narcolepsy?

...Or perhaps I'll get lucky and everything will turn around like the Mad Hatter table in Alice in Wonderland where all reason and logic--Normal things, are backwards--Once I'm pregnant I'll never be sleepy and I'll eat normal things.. Healthy things. Oh how that would be nice.

Did you have crazy cravings before you were even pregnant? Did they go away after you were? How about sleepiness? Am I crazy?

The Dream

...Yea another one. Are we noticing a trend here? I dream a lot. Every night usually. And most of the time I remember my dreams. In the morning when I wake up I tell my husband about my crazy dream and he just sits, listens, and I imagine he wonders who the heck he married.

This dream was really weird though so if you still think I'm normal and want to keep it that way you don't have to read on.

Last night I had a dream I was pregnant. This felt soooo real. I must have been like 9 months pregnant cause I was HUGE. I was at work and my water broke. (Interpretation: A friend of mine told me about her water breaking experience not long ago and I think her telling me this contributed this next part to my dream.)

I went into the bathroom and the water/stuff just kept coming out... I kept reaching down to see if I could feel the baby's head too and was thinking the baby would come out at any moment cause it just felt weird (interpretation: I watched a Discovery health show where a lady birthed her baby into a toilet so I think that's contributed too). I was trying to get paper towels and towels and pads and everything to soak it up but it just kept coming out!

I was on the toilet when the weather guy at my job came up to me and told me I would be excused if I left work to go have my baby (good thing right? Cause normally we'd just birth them there?). But nonetheless, I felt relieved that I could go and I texted my mother-in-law that it was time to fly into town cause the baby was on its way!

I was stressed cause I was thinking that we only have one guest room in our new place and with two sets of parents coming where would everyone sleep? (Interpretation: I was talking to my husband last night about not having a 3rd bedroom for a nursery... He thinks "we are fine").

I don't remember the labor part of the dream but when my child was born it had an adult head that looked EXACTLY like a guy that I work with (interpretation: NO CLUE!).

What a strange dream. I usually have lots of dreams in one night but last night this dream just seemed to go on and on! And dream interpreters out there? And stabs at what this all means?
