7 months

June 11th, 2012! I am 7 months pregnant today & you probably can't even tell. 2 more months to go! The day started with insomnia. From 2:45 to about 4:30 I could not sleep. I turned my alarm off & decided to skip Curves. The whole time I was awake I felt little missy moving & grooving. At times it'd keep me awake which was frustrating but what can you do? When your baby wants to move & groove, she wants to move & groove. :) I finally went back to sleep & the vivid dreams started. Unfortunately the last one upset me horribly. I have a friend who in October 2007 passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. She has visited me in my dreams 4 times before & the last 3 I was aware of her being gone and we talked about it. It's not a regular dream, it's a real time visiting with each other type of dream. This time was different & very odd. I won't go into detail but I woke up completely confused & upset. What did it mean? A friend told me she thinks she (jenny) was just letting me know that she's watching over Baby Girl & I. Maybe that's true, I hope that's what it meant. It's also nice to have a guardin angel watching over your baby. :)

Names: We may be close. Mike had a dream in late December about having a daughter with a specific nickname. We were pregnant but unaware of it. We've gone round & round with names since then. We were watching TV and one of the names I liked popped on the screen. He asked if that's how I would spell it too? Yes, I would. He doesn't like the name so I'm not sure why he was even asking. He asked what her nickname would be with that name? I told him. He likes said nickname. So, ok, take a leap Lisa. I tell him (because I've toyed around with what names go along with this nickname he dreamt of 6 months ago) 2 names that could also use it. He likes both! OK, we have our names right?! I don't know. I like the nickname too & it actually popped in my head when I was looking at a plague a friend made for me/baby girl. It seems too easy though. We've fought time & time again over names, over him agreeing to a name. Then all of a sudden it's as easy as that. "Yup, I like that name & that name". Do I like it though? Do I truly like the name & can see it for our daughter? Why must it be so darn hard! Mike I think prefers one name, a friend prefers another, & my sister prefers an alternative to our second choice. So, there are 3 names floating around but 2 of the names only have 1 letter difference, they're basically the same name. I don't know if I'm having an issue because we're actually close to naming her or if it's because I don't truly love the names. I have a love/hate relationship with the names. And part of me wants to just go back on ol' reliable that I've had picked out since before I got married. But it can't use the nickname Mike dreamt of 6 months ago. Grrrr, it's frustrating. So, I'm giving it time & seeing what feels right. All I know is her nickname will end with "ie". (ex: Kellie, Sallie, Pickl-ie) :)
