So tired, but... survey time!

I had dinner tonight with a friend from middle/high school. I hadn't seen her for quite some time.... it was nice though. I'm so tired though, I went shopping with my mom today too, I bought a nightgown for the labor and birth, and some stuff for my boyfriend's birthday which is next Sunday! I'm going to spoil him this year, because he's been so amazing and working so hard in school, and he deserves it, and I can finally afford to. I want to make it one of his best birthdays ever! It's his last one before we focus on the baby's birthdays instead of our own haha.

Dream

So I just woke up from my first dream about the baby, it started out I was in the hospital, I had her, and I tried to breastfeed right away. I kept having an awkward time holding her and trying to get her into the "tummy to tummy" position, and I also felt like there wasn't any milk coming out, but she was smiling for some reason. I then took her home and was still having trouble breastfeeding. I was just feeling like she must be starving!! She would only feed for a minute and I was so worried because I wasn't feeling this let down thing they talked about in my childbirth class. But she wasn't crying or upset at all. Then I kept swaddling her in really cute blankets and leaving her random places, like propped up on the very corner edge of the couch, on the floor, or on the bed surrounded by tons of pillows with my cat sniffing at her, and then going off and forgetting. Then she also kept turning into a doll when I would remember I had a baby, and go back to get her. It was frustrating me because I was crying and yelling "Wheres my REAL baby??" I kept thinking she was still at the hospital or something, I was going crazy, or being punished for leaving her like that. I also remember feeling like I hadn't even given birth, and forgot all about the delivery and labor part, although I know I had dreamed about it.

I was wondering when I was going to have one of these strange pregnancy dreams everyone was talking about... I guess dreams like that are common in pregnancy haha. It was very weird! I'm surprised I hadn't up until now. Maybe it was because I fell asleep reading the "You're Labor & Birth" book haha.

Update!

This is a digital scrapbook page I designed for my daughter :)

I should probably update on what's been going on, since I haven't in a very long time! I am now 34 weeks (Today) Only 6 more weeks left, that's just 42 days! (Give or take a few, of course) I had been feeling excellent up until this last week, it's kicking my butt! I've been tired and she's "dropped" so I'm feeling a lot more pressure on my hips and pelvis, which is not fun, I think it was all the walking I did on Sunday, I went to the City Fair (Rose Festival) in downtown Portland. It was fun though, and I was glad I wasn't the only preggo waddling around haha. It sure seems a lot bigger in my memory when I went as a little kid though... I can't wait to take Allorah! Anway, she is doing fine, kicking and rolling around like crazy. It's so strange but also so amazing that there's a little human swimming around inside me! A little mini me! Ha ha.

Today I Photoshopped a picture of Michael and I's baby pictures together, just to see what came about. I tried those photo morphing things online but they were just too weird and highly inaccurate. So here is what I came up with haha don't laugh, or do if you want! Ha ha!

I just have a feeling she's going to look more like Michael, especially from this last ultrasound, she has his forehead! I can't wait to see her little face in person :)
