Take your time to rant as much as you want rainbow.

I always have terrible dreams but it hits a new level when pregnant. With ds3 I had sleep paralysis (where you are awake but still dreaming so you hallucinate) and I thought there was a demon in the mirror who wanted to take my baby and the baby was scratching at the inside of my belly in fear.

This time round I've had dreams in which the morning sickness has crept in, like one where I dreamed I discovered I had cancer and had to start chemo while I was in labour so was vomiting everywhere. And another where I got Pre-eclampsia and was vomiting everywhere. Both these dreams I woke up and was sick for real. I think it is (sadly) normal but it doesn't make the dreams less scary.

How interesting, I get Sleep Paralysis anyway, and got it even more often with ds1, and my normal amount with ds2, this pregnancy nothing yet but there is still time. It's terrifying isn't it? The hallucinations are far worse and more real than any dream or nightmare I've ever had, and perhaps exasperated by the fact you think you are awake but can't move. I also get a searing burning headache between my eyes like my forehead is on fire with it, and feel super tired after. I have only met one other person IRL who has it, am kind of excited to know you do too! But obviously not happy for you, wouldn't wish it on anyone!

Meeks it is horrific isn't it? I only get it pregnant or very sleep deprived. So far not had anything this time so fingers crossed. With ds1 and ds2 I used to think someone had broken into our flat at the time and I was awake and could see the house and hear footsteps of someone coming for me.

The time with ds3 was worse though. Felt like Rosemary's baby or something. I get a headache after too and my limbs hurt because obviously I've been trying to force them to move. My friend had it where she thought she was being violated, very scary.

Apparently sleeping on your back makes it worse, not quite sure why. But I do tend to end up rolling over even when I start on my side. Funnily enough mine happens more when I am napping, not usually when I sleep properly at night. Don't envy you having it either Meeks, but it comforting to know we are not alone.

It's a GIRL! I'm having a GIRL! Ahhhhhhhh! I can't believe it!

I'm posting this earlier than Monday bc we came home early and my parents took pity on us and brought the boys to our house instead of having to drive to theirs and then back to ours and so I told DH after we put the boys to bed lets just open the envelope! We were so tired that I thought what the heck lets just get to it! We both sat on the sofa and my DH said lets say a prayer really quick before we open it and so we did. We opened the envelope read the words and both starting crying. I have never felt so much raw emotion. Both of us couldn't stop.

I can't believe I am writing the words it's a girl in my post. I'm in totally shock to say the very least. My intuition was completely wrong! Ramzi was wrong the skull theory was wrong they ALL pointed to a boy. Most of all my intuition had me going boy all the way. I am rambling I know. Please forgive me. I am still in disbelief!

Ladies I'm just so thankful for all of your support and listening to me rant. I can't believe one of you didn't tell me to shut up already.

Write more later and I will also catch up on all the happenings that have gone on since we were away with no cell phone service.
