Guess who's pregnant
No, not me. It would be an absolute miracle for us to have a baby. And a not-so-welcome-miracle at that. I’m 40, will be 41 in a couple of weeks, and I do not have the energy in me to keep up with a baby full-time. Kudos to those of you who do.
A little history here, I’m special (not that kind of special you meanies), I have a knack, weirdness, whatever, and can sometimes predict pregnancy and the sex of the baby. I don’t always get the person correct but, I know when someone in my life is pregnant.
Before I ever knew I was pregnant with Mikal, I had a dream that a friend of mine was in labor, gave birth to a boy and named him Michael. I kept waiting for her to tell me she was pregnant and she never did but, a few weeks after the dream I found out I was pregnant.
When I was pregnant with Haden, I had a dream that a different friend was pregnant. In my dream, she and I were in labor at the same time, I had a boy and she had a girl. I told her about my dream and she laughed at the thought of her being pregnant. A few weeks later she told me she was indeed pregnant. We’ll never know what she would have had as she had a miscarriage.
They whole time my daughter was pregnant I dreamed boy and she had a boy. Ok, enough history.
Now about a month ago I had a dream that Amy (my son’s girlfriend) was in labor and had a boy. I told Dennis about the dream and we decided to ask the kids at Christmas dinner, “Ok, who’s pregnant?” We did, and everyone said, no insisted, that it wasn’t them. A few jokes were made that it was probably Marissa (my step-daughter). But all I could do was wait until someone told me they were pregnant.
Now the blogosphere has been busy and a number of pregnancies have been announced but I knew none of them were the one I had dreamed of. I’ve known for a few days but had to wait to tell you guys, ~drum roll~ I’m going to be a grandma again. Marissa is pregnant and if my roll continues I will have another grandson towards the end of July or beginning of August.
Awww - as long as it's not mine: Babies are sweeeeeet :D
Guess we'll see a lot of Baby pictures then ;)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You are so young to have grandchildren already. Bet
you're a great grandma!
Congratulations granny.
Well congratulations! I have also had dreams like that and Im hoping that
the last one isnt true as I dreamt my sister, sister and law and myself all
had babies together. And like you Im quite over it thanks and looking
forward to a grandchild or two.
Congratulations to you and the mom to be.
Congratulations! I became a grandma when I was young and I must say that
it was (and is) one of the most excellent things in the world! Prayers
with you and yours for a healthy, happy baby.
Congratulations grandma! What a gift! And to have any gift, that is
probably the best one to have ~ predicting life.
Wow! This is awesome....congratulations!
Congratulations!!! It's funny..you are a grandma..and I'm older than you by
a few months and I'm step-mom to an 8 year old.
I'm gonna be an OLD grandma..but boy that sure sounds like fun!
Congratulations! How exciting!!!!
Congrats!!
Congrats to you and your step-daughter!! Also, if you have one of those
dreams about me, please break it to me easy.
Congrats. You are so lucky to be a grandmother so young!! My mother
lamented that she wouldn't have one before she was 60...SD showed up about
a month before then.
How exciting. I am pretty spot on when guessing the gender of a baby
someone it carrying. I am probably batting 98%. When I was pregnant with
our 3rd, the pastors wife came up to me and asked. No one knew and I
wasn't showing. She said her husband could always tell before anyone,
because of the glow on the face. That is pretty neat that you know by a
dream.
Congratulations! That's pretty exciting...I also just found out...my
oldest daughter is going to have her second...We can be grandmas
together...
Congratulations Lisa! I am so excited for you. This is the first time I've
read your step daughter's name. I'm not biased, but I think Marissa is a
beautiful name. :)
You're a grandmother? I'm only a couple years older than you and my kids
are only 2 & 5 years old! Your grandkids are so lucky to have a young and
hip grandma!
nice! better a grandma than a mom again... i agree!
Wow I guess I just assumed because you were a grandma you were a 'bit'
older. So young but all the better to run around with those grandbabies!!
If I'm a grandma by the time I'm 50 I'll be lucky....and even then I won't
be holding my breath with these kids of mine. Congrats to your
step-daughter and congrats to you grandma!
Congratulations!! It is hard for me to think of you as a grandmother when
you're the same age as me... and I have a 3 1/2 year old!
now that is wicked cool;) wish i could tell who in my life were preggers
like that;)
