One of the dreams was that I was sitting in the living room at the Little House and Nannie & Popo were sitting next to each other on the green couch. They were surrounded by this clear, warm light. I think we were all visiting but I don't remember exactly what was said. I just mostly remember that they were holding hands; I was facing them and Popo was sitting on my left & Nannie on my right. They were looking into each others eyes & smiling & they just seemed to be so happy together & so in love.
In the dream that I had several weeks ago, I was standing in the hallway at the Little House and Nannie was standing in the den. Again, she was surrounded by this magnificent light that just radiated from her & she looked so beautiful with her hair all done, so pretty & smiling. She looked at me and said, "look who's here" & gestured to the other room. I walked toward the kitchen and saw Popo standing next to the back door. I was so thrilled to see him & I ran up and gave him a big hug! We sat down on those little chairs with the needlepoint flowers on the seats & talked; again, I don't remember the specifics. I do remember that I saw Daddy standing outside on the back porch; he was talking to someone. I told Popo that I love him & miss him so much.
The other dream I had this morning was also about my grandparents. I dreamt that I was at Nannie & Grandaddy's farm & I was in the milk barn. (Yes, for those who don't know, both of my grandmothers were nicknamed "Nannie"). The thing is that it wasn't exactly the milk barn anymore. It had been converted into a bowling alley! In the separating room the storage vat was gone & the walls were lined with all kinds of pinball machines. The milking room had a couple of bowling lanes in it instead of milking stalls! This was all very strange. I don't remember all the details of what happened while I was there, although I know that I encountered my grandmother & spoke with her. I also remember something about these books that were lying around - they had leather covers engraved with an ornate "C" & they looked really old. When you picked up the books they left an impression in the wood underneath & you could see the mirror image of the "C". I've never actually seen books like this at my grandparents house...or elsewhere for that matter...but it was very interesting. I was doing some sort of research & reading stuff out of one of the books & Nannie was telling me something that I was writing on a legal pad.
Ok, enough about the dreams...back to reality...
So, I got up & made Ryan & I some English muffins this morning. My stomach felt weird while I was eating - almost puky weird but not - had that feeling yesterday too. Hope I don't go back into that nauseous stage again - that would be horrible! Of course, Ryan just said that anyone would feel puky after eating what I had made for myself - I put an egg & a slice of cheese, some butter & some miracle whip on my muffin - ok, he might be right! I shouldof stuck to his version - just butter & honey.
In baby news, my belly is getting bigger :) AND...I've finally gained weight! I am so excited about this because I was wondering how my body could be changing so much & my scale not saying anything different. I've gained a whole 2 pounds! Yea...just wait I won't be celebrating so much when I weigh in at 130! lol. But, they say you should gain 25 to 30 pounds overall so that isn't totally out of reach for me.
Also, I have found out that rubber bands just stink at keeping your jeans buttoned...they break & are just all around not good. But, the key is to take one of those little elastic hairbands (that I have a ton of just lying around - why didn't I think of this sooner?) and wrap it around your buttonhole! Ahhh, the heavens shine down upon the genius.
Speaking of baby things, Ryan has decided that we should name the little bugger, get this...Curious. I said, "like Curious George"? He says, no, not George...just Curious. Kasey seems to like it too, although she doesn't sit around rubbing my belly saying, "hello little Curious" and "there's a little Curious baby in there"! I'm really thinking that a more traditional name is in the baby's future...but for now I do have to admit that Curious is growing on me :)
Oh, I have to upload pictures of Kasey in her scarecrow costume for all of you to see! She was just adorable. We are thinking that maybe next year we'll dress her as the tin man with a little silver shirt & tin cans around her legs...complete with a funnel hat & a red puffy fabric heart on her chest! Wouldn't that be soooo cute? The only problem is that Kasey was pretty bummed that we didn't get to go trick-or-treating to her regular haunts this year. Maybe we can do a little belated spooking later. ha, ha, I just thought of something...we'll have a cute little baby to dress next year too...so we can dress the baby either as the lion or Dorothy depending on its sex! LOL! Maybe I can be Toto carrying a Longaberger basket...nah, we'll give Dorothy the basket. Ryan can be the Wizard!
She is always such a good sport about our nonsense! I should clarify...about my nonsense!
Ryan's parents are coming over tonight & we are going to get the trim hung in the basement this weekend! Yes! Of course, we are going to have to go over to the farm & check out the trails & the new weenie pit! And, we are getting our sod & landscaping next week! Yes! So I should go kill some more dust bunnies if I can track them down with my stealthy swiffer! Beware all dust bunnies - I'm kickin bunnies & takin names!
