Crazy dreams!

Last night was filled with some crazy dreams.. all these side affects of being pregnant. I don't remember if it was two seperate dreams or they somehow connected but the first part: I was going to the hospital because I was in labor and when I was giving birth she was in different pieces and had to be put together like a puzzle. And the doctors and everyone was fine with it, so this must be the normal way. But it was all hectic and everyone was scrambling to get all the pieces and put her together how we wanted.
And the second part, I think I had this dream since my friends boyfriend wanted to get me a gym membership and watch the baby for an hour a day so I can lose the weight and everything after I have her. So in this part of the dream I would be working out like crazy but I still had my same ol belly and it would NOT go away! And the weird thing is, I never had to go and pick up my kid.. so in all reality I am just a fat girl and don't have a baby inside of me or did I have one. I kid you not, I woke up and was feeling my belly and trying to get her to move just to make sure there was really a kid in there. I seriously thought it was real and that I was just fat.
It was all a very weird feeling, especially to wake up and think that it is true!

Lots to start with!

So where to start.. I am now in my 34th week of pregnancy and it is definitly getting uncomfortable. I guess I shouldn't complain TOO much since I have had it easy up til now. She is running out of room now for sure (which I thought was weeks ago) and is sticking her elbows and knees and whatever else out to where I have to rub it away. It's always fun to have her stuck in my ribs and pushing on my lungs so I can't breath too. All part of the wonderful thing called pregnancy! But anyways, I went to the doctor today and she said all the measurements look good and I am right where I should be at. She has started to drop and is in the right position, which is good, so I don't have to worry about a C-Section or anything like that right now. I am hoping for an early deliver.. this heat is just killing me! Devin isn't so sure about that idea tho. But that's something we really have no control over.
We start our birthing classes tonight at the hospital and I'm pretty excited about it. I know Devin is going to get freaked out after he learns some of the stuff but it'll be funny. He needs to know it!
Also, we're getting our maternity pictures taken next Tuesday with our photographer Dusty. Megan and Heather are going to do a shoot as well and then they will be the ones to do our newborn session since Dusty is also expecting and will be on maternity leave before then. I just can't wait to meet this little girl!

On a different note, last Saturday was Devin's birthday and we went to dinner with my family to celebrate and then went to Dave & Busters with some friends. That place isn't so fun when you're as big as a house and can't move. But the bartender did give me a free virgin strawberry daquiri. Yum! But it seemed like everyone had a good time, especially the birthday boy!Now that my birthday is in 2 weeks, I need to figure out what to do for it. It's obviously not gonna be the normal 21st birthday that everyone else celebrates so I need to do something else for it. Any ideas?
