Hahahahahaha!

What a fantastic mood I am in today! Here's the facts:

1. Over the weekend, my friend Christie came over and showed me the video of her very easy and fantastic vaginal delivery of her son being born. It was fantastic, not scary, and actually a little amusing at times, as she told me it would be. What a wonderful thing for nervous mothers to be. I think she should sell it to us nervous folks.

2. I dreamt last night that we had a girl. She was perfect and little and I'm pretty sure born wearing a little pink dress with flowers and matching panties that fit right over her diaper that had ruffles on the butt. She had kind of a lot of really dark hair, and she opened her eyes a lot and had brown eyes (which is an extremely good possibility, since both Kevin and I have brown eyes). We named her Natasha.

3. I talked to my mom today, and she told me that she dreamt last night that my Grandma (who died a few years ago) and her were driving down to see me because I was having the baby. Grandma had a flyer from Kohl's, and they were selling baby blankets with lambs on them, and Grandma was insistent that they could absolutely go no further until they got to a Kohl's, and bought said advertised lamb covered baby blanket for the baby.

Isn't that fantastic? I'm pretty sure my Grandma knows I am pregnant. Actually, since she's in heaven and probably has an in with God, she probably knows what it is:)

4. My mom wants to know what crib we want, because she wants to buy it. It starts to feel a little more real everyday.

5. I'm starting to have a lot of weird sensations in my lower abdomen. A little cramping, which I think is due to my uterus growing, which my OB said would happen a lot during trimester 2, and a lot of pressure around my pubic bone sometimes. Nothing serious or painful, no bleeding, just mild menstrual like cramps, and a little pressure, like something's pushing down a bit by my pubic bone.

Anyone think that sounds normal so I don't have to call my OB? I think it's normal, like I said--no bleeding, and not persistent pain or anything. Slightly concerned, but just trying to tell myself it's the baby's way of making sure I know it's there, since I can't feel it move yet.
