Crazy Dreams Galore....

I'm usually not the person to dream dreams, or remember them if I had one, but ever since I got pregnant, I've been having vivid and bizarre dreams.

So I decided to categorize them, and go into details for a few of my favorites. =)

The Ex Boyfriend Dreams
These started before I took the pregnancy test, and I was troubled. Why would they appear in my dreams? Husband was a bit peeved: why would you dream of your ex boyfriends? BEATS ME! I blame the hormones. I don't think about my ex boyfriends at all, after I started dating my husband, I realized he was the only man that I need to keep in my memories forever... Anyway, the hormones are to blame for this weird neurosis.

The Weird Animal Dreams
From giraffes to pandas... they just randomly appear. Some are so cute and cuddly and some are just downright nasty. Again, hormones, they do crazy things with my brain cells!!

The Hot Erotic Porn-Like Dreams
This is probably due to hormones AND the fact that the husband and I are no longer making love. Husband has sworn to abstinence as soon as we found out we were pregnant:"it's just really weird. our baby is in there and there is not way in hell that we are making love until we have our baby..." Sometimes I'll wake up horny, and I will notify the husband of this situation: "think of our baby"...... ok.....

The Cute Baby Dreams
Cute babies appear... I know they're not Derrick, our baby, but I have been just dreaming of cute babies  =)

The WTF Dreams
1. I had a dream that I was a witch, and I was attending Hogwarts, (yes the school from Harry Potter) and I was the president of the student council, and we had to do a fundraiser and we were conjuring up magic and other events and such.
2. I was in a car with a friend of mine, another car chases us, and then all of sudden, it turns into a car race, and I remember feeling that rush, kind of like the one you get when you're in a roller coaster
3. I'm at a buffet, and there are all the kinds of food that I was craving, but every time I reach for them, they move further and further away

I'm pretty sure I will have more dreams as this pregnancy continues, but for now, this pretty much sums up my crazy dreams. Other changes that are occurring are physical ones, enlarged breasts(went up two bra sizes) abdomen stretching, back aches, body aches.. I think my bones are rearranging themselves to make more room down there. My lower back bones and hip bones feel like they are at different places than before. I can also feel the ligaments in my lower abdomen stretching out. 5 more weeks left in the 2nd trimester and we will already be in our 3rd trimester!

We can't wait to see Derrick, and until we do, keep us in your prayers!
