Two nights ago I had the craziest dream I've had in a while. I dreamed that my teeth got really brittle and all fell out. Then in the same dream only like shots later I was left behind for my sisters wedding and stole my next door neighbors car and sped like crazy to the church. I was so scared about my teeth falling out that I woke up and ran to the mirror to make sure they were all still there. I also had to check with my husband, who assured, me that they were also all still there. I haven't had any crazy pregnancy dreams that I can remember, but this one was so vivid. I could just feel my teeth falling out. So that next morning I looked up what it means if you dream that your teeth are falling out. Apparently this is a common dream because I found several websites with meanings for this dream. Most of the websites wrote that if you dream that all of your teeth fall out, you are having insecurities about changes in your future. Well what do you know that sounds like pretty much everything going on in my life.....
I have not been scared or nervous one bit about having a baby, but the last couple of weeks I have become terrified. I know this is a common fear for new moms, but it is just starting to set in me. I am not really even scared about the whole birthing process, I'm more scared about the after process and that everything will be all right with this little girl that is going to be entering this world. I know all the tests say that she will be perfectly healthy, but I am still scared that something is going to go wrong or turn out wrong, not that I would love her any less.
I guess since I'm to the 32 week mark my fears are just now starting to hit me. My doctor says it will be 8 weeks or less and that is not a long time. We don't even have the bedroom finished because we won't receive the furniture until like 3 weeks before my due date. Though the room doesn't have to be finished, it would just help relieve my stress. Knocking things off the ever growing to do list is also a plus. We have almost completely finished the study! I am so lucky to have such wonderful parents to help put shelves up and surprise me with new organizational tools!
So now it's just two birthing classes, a nursery to finish, and showers thrown by friends and family! I can handle that right :)
Hopefully I don't have anymore dreams about losing my teeth or any part of my body because what little sleep I am getting needs to be good sleep!
I will try to post pictures of the nursery as it comes together for those that have been asking!

My speech
My goal was to post my speech for my sister's wedding last Sunday, but as usual time slipped away from me and I'm a week late.
My sister's wedding went off without a hitch! It was short and sweet, just like I like for weddings to be. She looked beautiful and didn't even faint! Sarah is terrified to be in front of an audience and she kept saying she was going to faint, but luckily she did great.
I almost didn't get to give my speech because the restaurant where the reception was held was so loud. We had the reception at Las Vaqueros in the Stockyards, and if you've never been there this place is huge. We were in a back room, but because it was Saturday night it was incredibly packed and that had a Mariachi band that was quite loud. I didn't want to give my speech because it was so loud that no one would be able to hear me anyway.
My mom convinced me to put on my loud teacher voice, which I won't lie projects quite well, and give my speech. Here is my speech for those who have asked to hear it:
I started off telling the people that one of my favorite books was Tuesday's with Morrie by Mitch Albom and then I read this section of the book.
" I've learned this much about marriage," he said now. "You get tested. You find out who you are, who the other person is, and how you accommodate or don't."
Is there some kind of rule to know if a marriage is going to work?
Morrie smiled. "Things are not that simple, Mitch" I know.
"Still," he said, " there are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're going to have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.
" And the biggest one of those values, Mitch?"
Yes?
"Your belief in the importance of your marriage."
With that being said, I want Robert and Sarah to know that marriage isn't just a ceremony, its a journey you get to go on with your soul mate. And I know this to be true because in my short 3 1/2 years of marriage life has thrown many curveballs and without my soul mate, I may not have survived. Now Robert, I know Sarah is a very emotional and passionate person, but she is never dull and always entertaining. So I'm sure your journey will be one with lots of fun. Now I can't say she won't be any trouble because trouble is her middle name, but Sarah won't ever be boring and you will never know what she's going to do next, which will make the ride that much more exciting.
To my sister and her new husband: enjoy the journey and remember we love you.
I think the words I was able to come up with pretty much sum up my sister because you never know what to expect with her, but that is what makes life more fun! I wish my sister and Robert the best and I know that their lives together will be full of joy and love.
