Re: *~* July Sparklers' Wednesday Check-in *~*

  • I have had a few dreams about DH holding the baby and me breastfeeding her.  I am just holding her and looking at her and smiling!  It feels like I am just feeling her and connecting with her.  Can't wait to hold her! 
  • Loading the player...
  • I've had a couple dreams... a few nights ago I dreamt I had her, but she was a boy! I have a crazy fear of the ultrasound being wrong, and my fiance & I getting the PINK nursery set up only to find out that we have a boy instead.?

    I've had a couple dreams... a few nights ago I dreamt I had her, but she was a boy! I have a crazy fear of the ultrasound being wrong, and my fiance & I getting the PINK nursery set up only to find out that we have a boy instead.

    I have this fear too. Although, I don't have everything(or really anything) pink...it's all fairly girly...And we founf out the sex at 18.5 weeks, which the tech said she could only guarantee 85%...not her usual 95%.......

    I've had a feeling all along that she was a girl though, so I' m not TOO worried....just that little voice in the back of my head.

    I've had a LOT of dreams though. and evey one since the big US, she;s been a girl.

    Only had one boy dream...but that one was too bizarre to go into details....so I just assume it was a fluke. :o)

  • I've had three dreams. In the first one I dreamt that my baby was a girl (which she is) but was only about 8 inches long when she was born and somehow that was normal. In the second one I dreamt I had a m/c, and in the third I dreamt that she was a boy (that was the night before our big u/s).
  • T:  My biggest surprise about preganancy so far is the fact that I haven't really been all that sick.  I'm just tired a lot.  I was also surprised when my feet and ankles started swelling.  I HATE that!  Ugh. 

     W:  No dreams about the baby.  Still having strange dreams in general, though, but I think that is due to stress.

  • I have had a ton of dreams about HER....oh yeah put me down for girl.  We had the big u/s last week and its a girl although I am still dreaming of her being a boy.  I have had like 5 dreams that she was a boy.
  • W: I have had a few dreams where the baby is at home with us and not sleeping unless it was laying right between us. It always has alternated between being a boy and girl.
  • W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?

    Every baby dream I've had was before we found out the sex. In my dream it was always a boy, and we were dying for a girl!!

    Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?

    I had a couple before we knew the sex that she was a boy, the night before our big u/s I dreamt about giving birth to twin alligators, and a few nights ago she was a kitten.

  • I had a dream about my oldest DD last night. She walked into our room and told me (in perfect english, mind you) that she wanted to be a judge when she grew up- but only if she could do it at a community college. Weird but funny.
  • Early on I had a dream that we had a boy (we're keeping the sex a surprise) and he had A LOT of dark hair and a cute little nose, both like his daddy. I had him naturally with no pain at all and I was just holding him and looking in his eyes and connecting with him. It was so real that when I woke up I thought we already had him.

    Just a side note: I'm completely convinced we're having a girl and have been since we found out we were pregnant.

  • Hey,

    I would like to be a "sparkler" too! I'm Crystal, 24yrs old, and we're estimated to be due July 17th with our first child and it's a girl. :) 

    M: (1) How was your weekend?  It was good, but I was mad I lost that hour sleep as it threw off my whole day for some reason.  (2) Any baby/pregnancy updates? Next U/S is the 23rd 'cause she moved too much and they couldn't get all they needed next time.  (3) How long did you TTC before getting a BFP?  About a month or two. We decided the end of August that we were ready then didn't really "try" just let it happen and found out Nov 5th that we were positive!

     

    T: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far?  That I have been so incredibly tired. I feel like I can't catch up on sleep and yet I sleep a lot.

     

    W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? I have dreams about her all the time. Before I knew she was a "she" I would dream that she was, but I had always thought it was a boy so it was weird. Most recently I had a dream that I went to my doctor appt and they couldn't find the heartbeat and did an u/s and said we had lost her. It was the most awful thing I have ever felt when I woke up.

  • My dreams about my baby are actually part of how I figured out I'm having a boy before big u/s. I had always dreamed of little girls, but then I started dreaming about little boys. I have a lot of dreams of DH and I with our little boy and in a couple of them I'm pregnant again. I have had some odd dreams regarding my ILs interaction with my child. I honestly fear leaving him alone with them.

  • We have a lot of July babies!

    I've had a few dreams where we will be with her in the park or taking pictures of her.  I can't ever remember what else we were doing or what she looked like though.

  • My EDD has changed to July 30th, and we're having a GIRL!
  • M: (1) How was your weekend?  (2) Any baby/pregnancy updates?  (3) How long did you TTC before getting a BFP? 1. Weekend was good.  Enjoyable and relaxing. 2. DH and I went shopping for clothes for the baby and for our daughter, also picked out our changing table! 3. We hadn't really been trying.  We thought we were going through secondary infertility when we discovered we were expecting.

    T: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far? Seriously?  That I got pregnant at all!!  My DD had just turned 5 about 2 months before our BFP and I had reserved myself to the reality of only having one child.  I guess the stars were aligned and Halloween really is our special day (it's our wedding anniversary) because that weekend was our conception weekend.

    W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? The only real dream that I've had so far is me talking to my belly and my belly/baby talking back.  It was really weird!

     

  • W:  I have had many dreams but one in particular that has been extremely funny!  I went into labor (at my own hospital) and the new Peds Dr. from Grey's Anatomy (the blond female from Arazona, I really don't remember her name) came in to deliver me and I refused to open my legs and just started screaming for my Dr.  So after 10 minutes of screaming for my Dr. she finally agreed to go get him, so everyone (nurses included) left the room and out popped the baby, in ran the nurse scopped the baby up and took it to the warmer to check it.  She brought it back all wrapped up and cute.  Our families then came in to see the baby and asked what we had to which our reply was, WE Don't Know! We never checked.  Then I woke up, hahaha!  I stopped eating oreos before bed after that one!
  • W: I did a couple of weeks before my big u/s, I don't remember what it was about except that the baby was a girl, and at my u/s I found out I am having a boy. Since then, I haven't dreamed about the baby. I dream about a ton of other crazy things though. My dreams are way more vivid and life-like than before pregnancy.
  • I'll be having a surprise on July 1st!!!
  • i have had two dreams about the baby the first one  i had the baby  and left him at tim hortons :S the other was that i lived in a house with all my family and they just took over when i had the baby i hardly ever saw him
  • Before we found out the sex of the baby I kept on having dreams about a little boy! ?I don't remember much about the dreams, just that they were very uneventful. ?I was doing regular everyday things but I had a little baby with me.

    ?

  • momtobetimes3 (29) - July 4th - BOY!!!

  • Tues-Biggest surprise by far was absolutely no pregnancy symptoms and finding out it was a boy.

    Wed- My only pregnancy baby dreams was before my big U/S I had a dream that it was clearly a girl on the U/S and everythought I had about the baby was the thought that it was a girl (see tues. answer above)

  • W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?

    I have had a couple but it was just kind of quick not much detail just that i had the baby at home.

  • I usually don't remember my dreams, but I've had one or two where she's just born or a little older and we are out as a family. 
  • I haven't had any dreams about the baby, but I'm pregnant in most of my dreams. My mom had a dream that we'll have a red headed little boy (before we knew the sex) and DH and I both have brown hair. There's red hair in the family, but it's not the prevelant.

    DH had a dream that he has blue eyes and dark hair. We've got such a blend in our family that just about anything is possible and I can't wait to find out what he'll look like!

  • Nope no dreams yet...
    Had the big u/s yesterday!! its a baby boy!!! everything looked great and he measured right on target thank God!!!
    Excited to welcome our third lil one! BabyFruit Ticker image
  •  

    Aside from crazy pregnant dreams, I have only had one dream about the baby. About a week before the big u/s I had a dream that we found out we were having a boy...turns out my dream was right!!!

  • Please update me too. Cheese59, Due on July 26. Its a girl.
  • I've had a couple of dreams.  Earlier on, I always dreamed baby was a girl!  I don't think I've dreamed about baby since we found out he's a boy, actually.  Can't remember any specifics.
  • W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? I havent had any really...but DH has. He has one the other night, it was a boy and he was throwing a football in our yard.

    I 'try' to have them...but cant seem to get away from the sexy dreams with random strangers in them..hehehe

  • Yes, I had one where they brought me back the wrong baby, it didn't have blue eyes. That's the only one I can remember but I know there were others.

  • I honestly have not had any baby dreams!!!  With DS I did all the time.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • I have dreams about my baby all the time!  They are about very random things though... I dreamed for several months that I was having a girl (its a boy!!), and last night I dreamed that we got surprise twins and we only had 1 of everything so DH was frantically trying to get baby stuff for our extra baby!  I woke up and was thankful it was a dream!
  • I had a dream that we were told the baby would be a girl so everythign we had was pink.  Then when the baby was born it was a boy, and I just kept crying and crying because I was so upset we had nothing blue for him.  LOL that is the only one so far and on Monday we found out it is a boy and there is no way that they are wrong.  Smile

  • : What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far?

  • M- I know I am behind but baby updates are I have another ultrasound Tuesday to check on my placenta moving up and cervical length. 

    How long did you TTC before getting a BFP? We actually weren't trying.  It was my first cycle after stopping BCP

    T: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far?  How worried it would make me about everything!!

    W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? I've had WEIRD dreams about the baby where things happened that aren't even possible.  No realistic ones yet.
