Things, life, whatnot...

(Sorry I am so boring (not to mention disjointed) lately. I guess I'm just really taking this whole "Summer Vacation" thing to heart!)

This has probably always been the case for me, but until TTC I never realized that I tend to have really vivid dreams during the 2ww. Last night I dreamt that a woman I know who recently had a baby was telling me she couldn't have kids. Even though it was obvious she'd given birth within the last few weeks. I got so upset I just turned around and ran away. I woke up in a terrible mood of course, but now I think it's a little funny. Can you imagine doing that in real life? Sometimes I'd like to just run away when people say stupid things!

It was a nice weekend. We spent Saturday at my friend Tracy's engagement party, which was lovely (mmmm tacos and margaritas!). On Sunday we went out to breakfast at our favorite joint, then went off to test drive an Audi (we're thinking of buying my friend's 2006 A4), and I fell in LOVE. It has power, it's comfy, it's pretty... I want it! :) But we'll see if we actually end up getting it. We capped off the weekend with dinner at the in-laws' last night. Very mellow, good times.

This little vacation has been good so far, I'm already feeling more relaxed about TTC, and looking forward (but not in any rush) to starting back up. I want to give it our best shot for a few months before moving on to the RE, so I've of course been starting to plan. I think I'll use OPKs religiously until we change insurance, keep up on the green tea, and be EXTRA CAREFUL to avoid any more lady part issues. I gotta tell you, that last one is the LEAST fun. I'm a fiend for carbs, and I've been majorly cutting back on sugar and refined/white flour. I no longer look forward to lunch because I don't get sandwiches anymore, and I hate salad! There are only so many wraps a girl can eat! Sigh... but if it works, it is totally worth it. Plus, I think I've lost a couple pounds already. Gotta look at the bright side, right?

Happy friggin' Monday.

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'...

It's been a long time since I've had a baby dream, and even longer since I've had a dream I was pregnant. I thought I missed having those dreams, cuz heck, if I couldn't actually BE pregnant at least I could pretend I was for a little while. Now I realize I don't miss them at all!

Last night I had a dream that I did IVF, POAS, and it was +. And I thought, "They do exist!" Then I found out I was was carrying 5 babies - 2 girls and 3 boys (and somehow I knew all of this in the first few weeks). It was pretty vivid, I could feel pressure on my tummy, and I was excited, scared, and worried all at once...

So, ^J^ has posted on her blog about the meaning of dreams. I have never been a believer in that stuff. I think dreams are waaaaayyyy too subjective to generalize like that. But this I can believe:

To dream that you are taking a pregnancy test, may be a metaphor for a new phase you are entering in your life, blah blah blah... Alternatively, this dream may be literal in meaning and address your anxieties/fears of getting pregnant.

Hahaha. Uhh yeah, do ya think?? I think it also had something to do with watching America's Funniest Home Videos for a few minutes last night, and they showed that clip of a mom with her 4 little babies curled up with her in bed, laughing hysterically whenever their dad made a certain noise (I just love that one!). Plus, I always said I wanted 5 kids, mostly boys. So there ya go. My dream has officially been deciphered!
