Ben and I are not planning on finding out worm's sex ahead of time. We think that it's one of the last great surprises in existence, and so we're going to try to stick it out and be genuinely surprised. In the meantime, I am in love with hearing retellings of the dreams that my friends are having about the baby's sex.
My cousin Lizze was the first to call and report that she had a vivid dream that I was hugely pregnant, happy as a clam, eating everything in sight and that when she asked if we knew the sex of the baby I remarked that we had found out it was a boy.
Today there was a message on my voice mail from my friend Dave who gleefully reported, with his scratchy sick-man voice, that he had just awoken from a nap in which he clearly dreamt that I had a healthy baby girl and that we named it something that everyone hated.
Now, this seems like a problem, a contradiction in sexes if you will, until you take into account my friend Heidi's early premonition that there are actually two worms. Oy!
In other news, I learned that the term 'immaculate conception' does not refer to the idea that Jesus was conceived by a virgin, rather it refers to the idea that Mary was born without sin and lived a sinless life. Who knew?!
I knew. Also, I am really glad you guys aren't finding out the sex. I thought that maybe the fact that you only heard one heartbeat discounted my theory, but then I thought that so often you don't even hear it that early so there very well could be two. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any more dreams about and worm. However, I have been having dreams about me being pregnant and feeling the baby kick. I'm not sure I like that idea.
