I am now just a few weeks shy of delivering this baby, although I must say unlike the last couple of times, I think I'm good just leaving her where she's at for now. We just have way too many fun things planned for the month of October to be interrupted! Luckily my pregnancy is going well and I only have a few unpleasant issues.
One of the more interesting side affects of my pregnancy are the vivid dreams. They start from the moment I become pregnant. I am fortunate to remember some of my dreams when I'm not pregnant, but they are usually somewhat blurry and only last in my memory for a few moments before flitting away back into dreamland. Not so with my pregnant dreams. Since I wake up numerous times throughout the night, I am in a dream world of sorts because everything seems so real and I can remember some of the dreams even months afterward.
This has been especially nice since my dad's death. He is in my dreams quite frequently, so it is now the only time I get to hear his voice and talk to him. I find it very peaceful and uplifting to have these few brief moments with him. In my dream last night, we were all together as a family again. I am so thankful for this small blessing and hope that somehow these dreams might be able to continue after the pregnancy ends.
I need to start getting out all the baby clothes and washing them soon so I won't be unprepared like I was with Alicia. When she came 3 weeks early, my sweet mother-in-law washed all of the baby clothes and blankets because they were still boxed up! Poor John had to pack my suitcase while I was in labor...it was hilarious trying to watch him figure out what I needed while I tried to remember how to breathe through the pain. I will make sure and get packed up ahead of time, but then it's a pain having to trip over a suitcase in the bedroom while waiting. On second thought John, I may have you pack for me again :)
