Weird dream

The other night I had a dream I made friends with Eminem and he was a really nice guy. Not like the asshole he portrays to be. haha! that's it. I have no clue where a dream like that would stem from seeing how you don't even hear about him in the media these days. So that was weird, but then again not since I tend to have crazy dreams during this pregnancy. But I thought it was funny enough to blog about to remember and share.


Today I had my first stranger pat my belly. I always heard that it happens all the time, but I've never experienced it before today. I know everyone that touches my belly so it's not so weird. But today a client came in, and one we rarely see, and she was all, "ohhhhh how cute!!!" reached for my belly and started rubbing it. whoa. I NOW know the violation that people have spoken of. It's weird!!! I've heard and read about it and always thought, it can't be that bad right? I mean it's a pregnant belly. No, it is weird. I almost stepped back when she did that. But since she is a client I just stood there with a fake smile and let her fondle me. That's what it feels like when it's someone you don't know is running up on your belly.


Of course the popular question i keep getting is, "when are you due?" So my answer is always May 21. And then I get the ever so popular response, "wow! that's right around the corner!" So today I had the thought that one day (soon) someone will ask when I am due and my answer could be, "next week" instead of saying "May 21." Now HOW crazy is that!? Part of me still doesn't feel like it's THAT close. But I guess it's because I always had it in my head that once you are so close, you are so uncomfortable that you are near bed rest if not on bed rest already. And so far I've been pretty lucky and haven't had it so bad (knock on wood, it's not over yet). I mean sure, i'm more uncomfortable than before but nothing I can't tolerate. AND I haven't even had to hit my stash of Tylenol that I carry around with me. I just know that in my next pregnancy it will be complete opposite. Everything I lucked out on this time I'm sure will come get me the second time around. BUT let's not go there because that will be a couple of years at least!


right now she is squirming around in there and it's so weird. I think it's because I just ate and I'm sitting and therefore it is just got really cramped in there for her. So she's kicking me in my ribs and to the left and right trying to make room... I'm guessing.


Last night Junior was on some website that has toy cars for little kids to ride in; those motorized ones. He said SHE WILL have one no matter what. haha! boys and their toys. He really is determined to make her a car nut like him. We shall see. I was pretty tom boyish as a kid... and well as a teen too so I always figured that my daughter would be the complete opposite. But again, both my neices have a pretty good balance between the two. So maybe she will too. But then again, both my mom and I were so different in that aspect. Sigh.... just have to wait and see!

Thinking of you and wishing you well!!! Can't wait to see pics of Bagel when she comes out. We still have to make that trip down there... maybe when the avocado comes out. Then they'll be playmates!

Best wishes!
