30 Weeks
So, more recent -
Maecy finds out June 1st if she's having a boy or a girl. We decided that we're going to have a shared baby shower. I'll start it off for a short time, then we'll crossover so family and familiar friends can come to both, and then she'll end it. It works because we both like the peach color. And I can't wait for the next few days because we can start the planning!
We also scheduled to take our Childbirth and Newborn Care classes together. Both are at the beginning of June. The Childbirth one she heard about, it's free and in Missouri (we might be the only white girls there…). The Newborn Care class Aldo and I took at Shawnee Mission about 5 years ago. So it'll be a good refresher for me. I'm nervous because I don't remember what I did with Luke except take pictures of him sleeping. And I had all that trouble breastfeeding. And I can't remember how to swaddle. Better just to take it again. And Maecy will have someone to go with too.
I'm also getting Luke prepped for school. He has his physical and medical history that needs to be taken care of, and the school also said he might need glasses. Awww… sorry about passing on the blind genes. You look cute in glasses anyway.
Other than that Luke and I have been home, but we've all been busy because we have youth camp at the end of the month. I have a new role this year, "make-it-happen" lady. And I'm in charge of a lot of paperwork. Speaking of which, I should probably get off here and start baking for the bake sale tomorrow…
Before I go though I want to tell you about a few dreams I had this past week. None are good. And I haven't been watching anything scary either. I will mention beforehand though, that getting a new house has been on our mind since Aldo's mom and sister are approved and looking to move before the end of the year. So curiosity says - Why can't we afford to get a house?
"Can't Live with My Mom a Moment Longer"
In the dream, we were living downstairs (like in real life) and I had just bought a whole bunch of stuff - can't remember exactly, I think it was chocolates. So mom had a friend come over and she needed a present for her, and she wanted to take my stuff. Without paying me for it. Without replacing it. I had just bought it and I wanted it, it was my purchase for myself, my blow money.. I told her no. She got basically irate and went off on me. I was like, I can't live in this house with my mom. Not anymore. Not if she's going to be like that, and take my stuff or get onto me about how I spend my money or just assume she has access to everything because it's her house. I was sooo angry when I woke up. Of course, it was all fake and not real at all. But it did make me think, maybe we should start looking at homes just to be safe…
"Luke's Big Fall"
The next dream, we lived in kind of a bad, inner-city neighborhood and we were broke. It was winter and I had to walk Luke to school. So we're walking along the sidewalk, snow crunching underneath our feet and I kept telling him to stay close and not get so far ahead. There were people behind us, probably also walking to the school or to a store nearby or something. As we were walking along the sidewalk, we were getting close to the school. Before you get there, on the right is a rock pillar to metal another rock pillar to metal fence. It blocked like a overhang over a asphalted city square below. Luke climbed on the bottom and walked sideways between the bars, trying to get to the other side. I was ok with it, he wasn't being dangerous. I was in the middle and he was almost to the end, when all of a sudden he decided to climb up further. I started to yell at him and tell him not to climb up on it so he wouldn't fall, when he fell. I saw his body fall… body spread out, flipping in the air. He looked so small. And instant panic hit me and I prayed as fast as I could, Lord, don't let him break anything. Let it be a miracle. It was faster than a second that went through my mind. I started to run toward the stairs, backtracking.. and I saw that by some serious miracle he had grabbed a street lamp and was hanging on. The man that had been behind us slid down the stairs before I could get to them and was under Luke ready to catch him. Luke ended up hanging on until I was below also. We told him he could let go and we would catch him. And we did. (From after he slipped over onward is where I was aware I was dreaming, and so I think I made it to where it had a happier ending.) But waking up, I didn't know what to think. How scary. What if that did happen? How would I act afterward? I would rock him in my arms forever and never want to let go. And I would be super protective too. He wouldn't be able to go anywhere with anyone or do anything. I'd get onto him about sharp edges and heights, any hazardous area.
"No-name"
When I went back to sleep again, I had another dream about a fight that I had with mom. I don't remember what it was. I just remember having that same feeling like - hmmm… not a bad idea to start looking at homes and figuring out our budget.
"Secret Passages"
I was at a private school or something with Maecy and a group of kids. It was a very strict place and our class had to report to someone in charge for being bad. So this boy was the leader, and I followed him, Maecy behind me, then the rest of the line. We weren't sure whether to go through this brown door or not, so we went to the passage on the right. It led us around and through hallways. I kept following him. He ended up going up a flight of stairs, into a room that had a hole in the wall. It was a secret passage I guess. Instead of whatever wall is made of, it was rock and muddish. It led to this room below. Originally I followed him in, and saw that there were chains all around the room and weird things. It turned into something like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with cannibals. Then I backtracked, and was able to stop in the tunnel before going into the circle room. He went all the way in. I looked back and saw that Maecy and the rest of the group hadn't followed us all the way, and they had ended up where they were supposed to be. Why didn't they stop us? But I looked down and heard the sounds of him screaming. Still a bad dream.
I also forgot to talk about Mila!
She's moving around a lot! I feel like pushes her elbows across my stomach and stretches out a lot. She's a strong one. The last couple of days I've been having pain to the upper right of my belly button. It can be sharp, but it's mostly hard. And feels like muscle stretching too far. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it. Ah, the joys of bearing children. I suspect it's one of the following: constipation, round ligaments (googled it), or Mila's butt.
Welp, hopefully I'll get some pregnancy photos on here soon. I have a long list of To-Do's. I'll try my best!
