Saturday, November 13.2010 we entered into the 3rd trimester at 28 weeks. I must say it feels as if time is going by at a snails pace at times. I think it's mostly to do with how unbelievably uncomfortable I've been for the last few weeks. I'm starting to get tired a lot quicker than normal. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that my belly is getting quite big and my body is having a pickle and a half trying to hold up all the weight. I was doing so well the first 6 months of pregnancy not gaining weight that I knew it would all come back to me in the end. Since 2 weeks ago I had put on 10 lbs. Arg, I know I really shouldn't be so vain and it's good to gain the weight but it still hurts my ego. I try not to think about it but it's hard when I know I've got a Dr. Apt coming up. Today to be exact. So per the emails I get every week, Jett's been the size of an Eggplant for the last 3 weeks or so. Next week, he'll be the size of a squash :) I believe the chart said he should be weighing in at about 2 1/2 lbs but I'll confirm all that once I get to the Dr.'s this Afternoon. As the space in my belly is getting more cramped, I'm beginning to feel the baby more and more. Just the other day I was sitting on the couch working on my laptop and he kicked me so hard it shook the computer! It made me laugh and melt my heart all at the same time. I've come to the conclusion that our baby is a child of the night. During the day he'll be still and I'll feel a random jab here and there and for the most part my back isn't killing me. When it's time for me to TRY to catch some zzzz's that's when the party starts. He's jabbing my guts left and right, jumping up and down on my bladder, and I think he might be kicking my spine. He will not let me fall asleep until I've gotten up to pee at least 3 times and shifted positions 4 times for 10 min a piece. So really if I get to bed by 11 I'm usually not able to fall asleep until 11:45. Yay! But I'm not going to lie, I look forward to our nightly routine. It's a nice reminder that he's there and it's only a matter of time before we get to meet him.
80 Days to go! We cannot wait. J's getting anxious. Not to say that I'm not but I know he's been waiting for children a little longer than I have. He wants to be able to hold his child and love on him. :)
Oh, I'm known for my bizarre dreams so I figure I'd share the ones I can remember. Keep in mind that it's not the entire dream just bits and pieces of what I retained.
1- I was in a grocery store somewhere in the northeast I would imagine since it was cold and snowing outside. I walked in and walked over to the Deli section which for whatever reason was also the check out stand. I walk up and the butcher asks me what I want. I want some of this and some of that. The butcher is-not only a lady but she so happens to be Michelle Obama (random) any who she gives me the meats and I continue on my way. I walk down some aisles that resemble the aisles in a home depot. I think I was looking for some party favors. I finish up and walk to the cashier, which is also the butcher ( Mrs. Obama) I ask her why the heck she's working at *** as a butcher and she says that it's no big deal, she's got nothing else to do during the day so she just works to not be bored. She hands me a piggy bank with a big wad of cash and tells me to have a good day.
Here is what dream moods thinks my dream is about: (enjoy)
Money
To see or win money in your dream, indicates that success and prosperity is within your reach. Money represents confidence, self-worth, success, or values. You have much belief in yourself.�Alternatively, dreaming about money, refers to your attitudes about love and matters of the heart. It is a common symbol for sexuality and power. In particular, finding money indicates your quest for love or for power.
Market
To dream that you are in a market, represents some emotional or physical need that you are currently lacking in your life. You may be in need of nurturance and some fulfillment. Consider the specific items that you are shopping for. Alternatively, the market signifies frugality.
Meat
To see raw meat in your dream, represents obstacles and discouragements that you will come across as you move toward achieving your goals. Alternatively, it may reflect your untamed, animalistic nature and raw emotions.
2. Our baby was born and he was about a month old. I was holding him while I was walking around a public pool. There were lots of babies around and some older kids. They were all so noisy and messy. I look at our baby and he's looking right at me. He's gorgeous! He's super pale, with brownish hair and the bluest eyes I've ever seen on a person. I walk over to the edge of the pool and get in. I dangle his feet in the water and eventually let him float about on his own. It fast forwards a few years and Jett is about 3 years old. Were at hobby lobby looking for some paint. He's running around not listening to me and i'm getting so frustrated. I see J rounding the corner and Jett looks at him and without saying a word drops what he's doing. He's wearing a shirt that simply has a J. on the front and J is wearing the same shirt. We grab his hand and walk out the door. I wake up.
Baby
To see a baby in your dream, signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted.
To dream of an extremely small baby, symbolizes your helplessness and your fears of letting others become aware of your vulnerabilities and incompetence. You may be afraid to ask for help and as a result tend to take matters into your own hands.�To dream that you are dipping a baby in and out of water, signifies regression. You are regressing to a time where you had no worries and responsibilities. Alternatively, such a scenario is reminisce of when the baby is in the fetus and in its comfort zone. In fact, some expectant mothers even give birth in a pool, because the environment in the water mimics the environment in the uterus. It is less traumatic for the baby as it emerges into the world. So perhaps, the dream represents your search for your own comfort zone.
Children
To see children in your dream, signify an aspect of yourself and your childlike qualities. You may be retreating back to a childlike state and longing for the past. You are trying to still satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurture. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Alternatively, the dream may be highlighting your innocence, purity, simplicity, and carefree attitude. If you are fighting with children, then it implies that you are repressing your inner child. The children could represent someone in your waking life (coworker, mate, sibling, etc.) who is acting like a child. If you see children fighting in your dream, then it means that your sense of morality and character are in conflict.
J and I started working on the nursery on Sunday and pretty much got everything done with the exception of a few things. We still have to paint the walls, put up some curtains, and hang up some shelves and pictures. Other than that our little man's room is for the most part complete. The only thing left to buy now for his room is the changing table. The room looks so nice, it's nicer than any of the other rooms in the house :) it's putting us to shame.
That's all I've got for today folks. I'm trying my hardest not to pass out flat on my face on the keyboard. I'm so tired this morning and all I want is to take a nap. Coffee has done nothing in the way of keeping me awake. :/ but then again i'm certain there was more sugar and foam in that small cup of cookie tasting goodness than actual joe.
