So I had said there'd be more on how I knew my first would be a girl, and how I knew when I'd get pregnant, so here is the story, however short it is lol. I'll even throw in a bonus story of how I knew I was pregnant at just a few weeks along...
Five years ago, more like six now, Scott and I were living in Florida together and we were happy. One morning I awoke and told him all about this amazing dream I had of my grandmother (who passed away in 2000). In this dream I was sitting in her old house, at her kitchen table sipping tea with her. She leaned over and touched my hand and said "She's a beautiful girl. Lots of spirit." and then I heard a little girl laugh in the other room. This little girl came into the room, looked at me and said "Mama, juice please?" and I said "Sure thing Grace" and proceeded to get her a sippy cup of juice. I dont know how I knew it, but in the dream I was 26 years old and the little girl was 1 year old. I awoke from the dream so happy that I had just seen my nana, that it didn't occur to me to think anything of the little girl. That and having been told by a couple doctors that I couldn't get pregnant I had just about giving up hope of having children. Thats why I didnt want to believe the next dream I had with Nana in it....
It was Decemeber 2008, they had taking me off the birth control 6 months previous cause it was messing with my blood pressure, and the metformin the put me on for the PCOS was doing what it was supposed to anyway, so I didnt need birth control to regulate me anymore. I went to bed and all was normal. I awoke about 3AM after having a dream where my nana was telling me I had to wake up and take a pregnancy test because I had to stop taking my pills (they could harm the baby). She kept telling me to take a test as soon as I woke up. So when I awoke at 3AM I kept trying to push it out of my mind. I tossed and turned and finally about 4AM went to the bathroom. I looked to see if we even had any tests in the house (there had been a couple times when we werent ready that we thought I might be, so thats why there were some in the house). And there were two tests in there. So I thought, "well I'll take one so I can go back to sleep!" So I pee on the stick and set it on the counter and wait... and what happens? Two lines appear. I was in shock. Check the directions again to make sure I"m reading it right and yup! I'm pregnant! I pick up the test, walk back in to the bedroom and wake up Scott with "We, uh, we need to talk... I'm pregnant!" as I hand him the test. He startles awake, looks at the test, looks at me, and I have no idea what he said...something along the lines of okay, thats great, we'll talk about it in the morning or close to it I believe. In the morning I took the digital test (had to make sure lol) and sure enough the digital test came back with "PREGNANT" on it. Talk about a sweet dream :-).
So the start of my pregnancy everyone kept telling me not to set my heart on a girl cause if I did, I"d end up with a boy that would steal my heart lol. So when at 18 weeks we went for the big ultrasound to tell us, I wore mostly pink for luck. I had on a pink bra, pink socks, white pants, pink underwear, pink shirt and a pink hair tie. At first she didnt cooperate with us then she showed us her goods and it was definately a girl! Now I'm 26 and my little one with turn one on July 23, 2010, a good 2 months before mommy turns 27, making both of the dreams true. Now all I need is some curly blond hair to sprout on her head to make the first dream complete, but it seems like she got daddy's straight hair so far, but we shall see.
Oh and what makes her birthday so special (besides her of course!) is she was born in July (the same month as my mother) and on the 23rd (my nana was February 23rd). She knew she couldnt wait til her due date of August 10, or that mommy could either, so she came early for all of us :-).
Be well...
