The pendulum has swung back to “holy shit, I’m pregnant!” after the weird
dream, the increased nausea and boob pain, and the fact that you know,
alllll the data points to me being knocked up.
I’m at the lake today, and we told my folks last night. My mom mentioned
that everyone is thinking of selling the Island, and I BURST into tears. I
am not a crier, but I was sobbing over the possibility of losing the Island,
and that helped reassure me that yep, I’m pregnant. We told them over
dinner, and they were excited again, so I’m glad I did.
Now our discussions are about whether to find out the sex (I’m a big NO on
that one, and Dave and everyone else is a big YES) and names. It’s sort of
nice to just be acting normal until proven otherwise.

You have been in my dreams all weekend. We were in hawaii on a trip with our respective boys and we had to build a crib while we were there (on vacation for three months) because you popped out the baby and we weren’t prepared. It was a very pretty crib with banyan leaves as the bumpers.
Just checking in for any updates…I’m so happy to see that you are feeling pregnant! It sounds like grad school and your job are great, albeit tiring.
We didn’t find out the sex in advance and it was the most amazing thing to hear Dan say, “It’s a girl!”. We asked our midwife to let him be the one who announced the sex. I’m so glad we didn’t find out. I was really surprised because I had a very strong feeling throughout that I was having a boy, including several dreams about a baby boy.
