What a nightmare...

Do you ever have those dreams that seem so real that when you wake up, you're convinced they happened for a little while? I had such a dream, rather nightmare. I was in the bathroom staring at a positive pregnancy test. (Now I know that this doesn't seem like a nightmare for some of you, but for me, I was scared out of my mind. Apologies go out to anyone trying to conceive.) I screamed into the air, "NOOOOOOO!" (Now I'm not saying that I'm never gonna have another kid but not for at least a year, if at all. So the thought of being pregnant again just about sent me over the edge.) In the dream, I waited around the whole day and thought, "What am I going to tell Merril?" (Merril supports everything so I don't know why I was worried in the dream.) So I wake up, roll over, and think to myself, "Ug. I'm pregnant. What a bummer." And then reality starts to take hold and I think, "What a minute, I'm not pregnant! Wahoo!" Talk about close calls. *wipes cold sweat from brow*

This last bit is just a picture from the 24th of July parade. Grandpa was playing with the kids and making them laugh until the parade started. Jack loves Grandpa.
