Pregnancy Dreams

Pregnancy dreams, they are weird, can be very real and also disturbing and/or beautiful and moving.

With Carson, I had a dream and he was the most beautiful little boy, blonde hair and blue eyes.  His hands were so little and soft.  When Carson was born, he was EXACTLY how I saw him in my dream.  That dream was so very real.  I remember holding him in the dream and staring into his eyes.  Holding him in real life was just like the dream. 

Last night I had a weird dream.  I had a dream that I had Sydney earlier than expected.  I felt disconnected during the C-section, almost like as if I wasn’t awake.  In my dream, I tried to remember the C-section, but it was like I wasn’t even there during the C-section.  Afterwards, I was ok, laying in bed, lots of people around.  I wasn’t holding Sydney, my mom was.  Sydney had a lot of brown hair and she was small, let’s say petite.  I didn’t see her face in this dream, I just remember seeing lots of brown hair and she had a bow on, already.  

The big brother

Carson: I think I am going to cry when the baby is born.
Me: why, because you're happy?
Carson: because it will be the happiest I have ever been.

24 weeks

In Sydney's Room
 

 

 

24 weeks, 6 months. 111 days to go until we meet Sydney. This month, we have been really working on getting the nursery done.  So far, we painted, cut and installed baseboards, installed the floors and finished closet are done.Notice I say, WE. Truth be told, the only thing I did was paint and and then just kept company for everything else and instructed. :)

This next month, we will be breaking down Carson's bed and converting it back to a crib.  Sydney will be getting Carson's furniture and Carson will be getting new furniture.  

 

My 24 week appt went great. My buddy, Carson came along with me.  Dr. G walks in and Carson says, Hey Dr. Goldberg and gives him a high five, like they are friends. ha! All the ladies love him there, he goes with me every month and knows the routine. Urine sample, blood pressure and then hear the heartbeat. There is something sweet about having Carson along for all of this and having him at the age that he is.  He understands so much.  I can imagine this would be a totally different experience if he was 2, 3 or 4. 

 

Next month, I am going to do the glucose test. My fingers are crossed that I pass because I only have to do the 1 hour and I don't have to fast.  If I fail and have to do the 3 hour, I have to fast for the test.  Ugh!  Weight gain, Im + 5/6 lbs.  So I believe my total gain is about 8 lbs.

 

The other night I was woken up with the most severe leg cramp. I did my "toes to nose" to try and break it and I couldn't. I jumped up out of bed trying to flatten my foot, but the damage was done.  My leg has been sore for the past few days.  I went back and looked at my blog with Carson and sure enough, it was the same exact time that it started with him. 

 

Along with that has also come the heartburn, which was also the same exact time as with Carson.

 

Sydney kicks all the time now.  Putting Carson to bed at night, he will lay there with his hand on my belly and she just kicks away.  He talks to my belly and tells her that he's her big brother.

 

If all goes the same, with Carson I had "cankles" shortly after my 24 week blogpost.  If things stay the same, I'm guessing I should be losing my ankles soon. Gosh, I really hope not, but we shall soon see. 

 

I truly love having my blog with Carson, which I still keep up, of his special moments.  But being able to look back and compare pregnancies and all my little notes has been priceless. 

 

With that being said, 2015 vs. 2009, both pics 24 weeks.

 

Side note: Turbo wasn't in the mood to pose this time around. He was outside wandering with Carson.
