Boy or Girl? One Baby or Two? What's up with all the Dreams?

So two weeks before I found out I was pregnant, I had a dream that I was pregnant. Had the dream around conception time. Pretty cool, right? All I remembered when I woke up was that in the dream I was holding my baby saying, "I can't believe it's a boy." It was funny because ever since we were engaged I have told Eddie that all I can see us with is girls. I've teased him lots about this and told him that I think when we have kids we'll kick things off with twin girls. I just can't figure out why only half of my dream would be true. If the pregnant part was true, why wouldn't the boy part be true too? Never thought I'd cast a boy vote for myself, but I sort of feel like I have to. My mother in law had a dream around the same time. In her dream, I was pregnant also, but with twins. Crazy. It's kind of fun. We'll see about one baby or two on June 9th. As for boy vs girl, we'll be in suspense for awhile. :)

Telling Daddy

I thought I was so crafty. My plan had always been: Find out you're pregnant, make dinner: baby back ribs, baby peas, baby this, baby that, throw baby in front of everything on the menu and see how long it takes Eddie to catch on. Well, seeing that my hubby would be home from worship practice in an hour and I wasn't about to keep it a secret, I needed a new (and quick) game plan.
New plan: Get back in the car and drive back over to Tyler Mall area. Barnes and Noble. Brilliant. So I bought Eddie the book on the right , and what the heck, I grabbed one for myself too :). I had his book wrapped. He got home from practice and I told him that I had bought him a present, a book that made me think of him. This wasn't strange at all b/c we buy each other little random things often. Wish I had the moment on video. Before he opened the present he told me how much he loves me, how happy he is I'm his wife, how wonderful I am for thinking of him and out of the blue just buying him a present (his love language- can you guess it?) I'm thinking, "Amazing. This moment is so perfect." The unwrapping begins. And it didn't take my smart husband very long. He looked up at me and said, " Oh my gosh, are you serious??!!!" Yup. I smiled w/ my little confirmation object (See previous post) :) Then he pretty much tackled me with kissess and happiness. And of course had to throw something in like, "Wow, I'm pretty potent aren't I?" Yes honey-very potent.

Two Pink Lines... Backdated Blog # 2

April 27th 2009- Something was supposed to come that..well, didn't. So at 8:30 at night, while my hubby was at worship practice, to Target I went to buy something that could either confirm or deny my suspicions. And so begins a new, amazing, and miraculous journey ( and nauseating... did I mention it's a nauseating journey? :) ). I am pregnant. We're excited. I love learning about all that is going on inside my body. God is seriously amazing.
I'll start by answering a few common questions:

1.) When are you due? Around the 4th of January. My first Dr. appt is June 9th (my 26th B-day). How sweet is that! Who could ask for a better present than hearing/seeing your baby's heart beat for the first time?
2.) Were you trying to get pregnant? Hmmm. Well, I don't believe you can say you are absolutely trying to NOT get pregnant unless you're on the pill, because many other methods are "risky". Our method: the : "calendar" method- particularly "risky". We said Summer 2010 would be when we would "try". So our attitude was basically, "Let's see how long this calendar method thing works". 4 months. Neither of us really thought we'd make it until summer 2010, and we knew we'd be totally excited if we had a baby sooner.
