Pregnancy Dreams

So, I have had THE WEIRDEST dreams lately. I have heard of people having "pregnancy brain", meaning they are very forgetful and accident prone. But, I have never heard of someone having "pregnancy dreams". And, these "pregnancy dreams" aren't just of me being pregnant. No, they're very real and life like, I honestly don't think I'm dreaming until Justin's alarm goes off or my phone rings and wakes me up.

I have been having these dreams for probably the past week and a half, pretty much since the morning sickness, a.k.a. all day sickness, started. 2 nights ago (Monday night) I dreamt that Justin and I were in charge of picking up his nephew from daycare, we forgot and the mom threw a fit because she had to go pick him up (when she wasn't doing anything). Then, Justin and I ran in a 5k. All of this was so life-like, but none of it would ever really happen. It was so weird, it felt so real at the time but I kept thinking in the dream, "this definitely is not really happening." Then, last night (Tuesday night) I had a dream that could've happened in real life, so it was weird. I dreamt that I was working at in-n-out (not out of the norm) and my dad and his gf/fiancee/whatever you want to call her came in to my work (this was a little odd, since I work/live in Utah and they live in Cali) and came for the grand opening of my new store. I sat with my dad and talked for awhile, and his gf got jealous (also not out of the norm) then, the manager (who was one of my former managers) told me I needed to go into the backroom. When I got to the backroom, she told me I was late (when really I was still a half-hour early for my shift) and that I needed to start already. When I clocked in for my shift, there were lots of people up in the stand (kitchen) who I had worked with before, back in Cali. (Another reason why this dream seemed so real.) Then, they passed around the schedule for that week, I got 50 hours! (Most people would think this was weird, but for opening a new store, it's not so weird.) They then started asking me what I could and couldn't do because I was pregnant. Then, Justin's alarm went off and woke me up. It was so weird how real it was. The other weird dream I had last night was that I was on Glee, and it wasn't like real Glee. The characters were the same, but nobody sang, and it was like real life. It was weird, I was hanging out with Kurt at his house, we were playing old school nintendo. Then I woke up.

Basically, now that I've gone on and on about my dreams. I'm wondering, has this happened to anyone else while they've been pregnant. Because it's kind of driving me crazy! I sleep HORRIBLE the first half of the night and then have WEIRD dreams the second half!

In-n-Out Burger

As many of you know, I work at in-n-out burger. I have worked there for almost 4-years (not consecutively). I worked there for 3-years (in high school and the 2-years after high school). I left the company for 2-years and now I have been back for about a year.

The most common question I get about "ino" is: Don't you ever get tired of it? And, my answer used to be, "sometimes, but I change up my order every once and awhile or I'll go a few days without ordering food." Well, I have noticed in the past week or so (due to "morning sickness") the only thing that I have been able to eat, without feeling nauteous, is an "ino" double-double with spread only. OMG, it is amazing.

As most of you know, I have a deep love for tomatoes. I have ever since I was a little girl. Nice big, juicy, red, delicious tomatoes... mmmm. Well, as of about a week ago I would eat about 3-4 slices of tomatoes on my burger. Just a little bit of spread and LOTS of tomatoes. Now, I can't even stand the sight of them, or the thought of them (I have been gagging while writing about the tomatoes). Anyways, so now, I can only eat spread on my burger. And, it's not only on my burger. It's spread on my fries. Spread on anything. It is going to be a problem if I'm like this the whole pregnancy, but OMG, I can't get enough spread!

Anyways, "ino" is wonderful when you're pregnant. I remember when my sister was pregnant with Hailey and she would always ask me to bring her a burger when I would get off work. Now, it makes sense. They're heavenly to pregnant women! I'm just glad that I work there, so I don't have to go and buy a burger all the time. I just have to work and then I get a free burger... mmmm! Good thing I'm working today!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day as a pregnant lady has been no fun. Today is the first day of this pregnancy that I have felt sick, and it has been nausea all day! I haven't vomitted at all, yet, but this "morning sickness" thing is no fun!

Justin has been very sweet and let me sleep almost all day. (Except while I'm babysitting, of course.) He said that when I get home from babysitting, he's going to go get me some rainbow sherbert (since it sounds delicious) and some crackers. Justin is an awesome husband and the best Valentine a girl could ask for.

I can't believe that it's been a year since we met. Justin and I met a year ago, yesterday, and a year ago today was when Justin made me a delicious Valentine's dinner. It has been an amazing year and I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

The 2 Tests We Took!

Here is a picture of the 2 tests that we took! If one test wasn't enough, the second one proved it! The first one (taken on Sunday night) took about 3 minutes to say "pregnant". The second one (taken on Monday morning) said "pregnant" within seconds!

Sunday, the 3 minutes waiting for the results to come through seemed like the longest 3 minutes of my life. Then on Monday, I wished that it had taken longer, so I could've had a minute to catch my breath! lol.

How Our Moms Reacted to the News

I think it's hilarious. Both Justin's mom and my mom reacted the same way when we told them that we are pregnant. They both LAUGHED! According to them, it's because we had been saying the whole time we've been married (2 1/2 months) and before we got marriedm that we were going to wait at least a year or 2 to have kids. But, they both predicted it would be sooner than that. And, they were right. They were both very excited for us and excited to have a new grandchild, but they thought it was funny that God was proving us wrong.

I Feel Bad For Justin Right Now

So, in the past couple days, since finding out I'm pregnant, I have had more emotional/hormonal outbursts than ever before. On Monday, I cried for almost an hour about being frustrated, which normally would not get me that upset. All Justin could do was hold me and tell me everything was going to be ok, and to not get stressed out cuz it's not good for the baby. I love my husband so much, and I think that I am falling even more in love with him, as I see how he deals with my crazy hormones and how I'm hungry every 2 hours.

The last 3 nights, we have been talking about baby names, cuz we want to be prepared. We're both terrified that we're going to have twins (because Justin's mom has been telling us we would have twins, pretty much since we started dating, and I've been cursed with twins). So, we picked out 2 boy names and 2 girl names. I pretty much only picked out one of the names, and Justin fell in love with it and he decided to start picking the other ones. For boys we have: 1st choice: Hunter Vaughn, 2nd choice: Alexx Jeffrey. For girls we have: 1st choice: Elizabeth Ann, 2nd choice: Alexxandria Marie. I picked all of the middle names, and Justin picked all of the first names (except for Hunter).

I am just so grateful for Justin and how well he has adjusted to this big shocking surprise. Neither of us planned this, but we're taking this as something that God obviously wants for us. We both already love this baby so much.
