Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy!  Here is a slideshow of his first year for your enjoyment. :)

Just in the past week or so, Everett has decided to start talking. Most of the time it’s cute baby gibberish, but he has actually started to use recognizable words as well. Here are the ones I’ve been able to make out so far:

• Thank You
• More
• Cracker
• Ball
• Uh-oh
• Daddy
• Momma

He also claps, waves, and blows kisses. He’s walking like a champ now too! My little boy is growing up so fast! I can’t believe he’ll be 1 next week. CRAZY! We love you, Everett!

Dreams are so interesting.  Most of the time, my dreams are strange and make no sense at all.  However, every now-and-then I’ll have one that really shakes me and makes me wonder if it was more than just a dream…a warning or a prompting from the spirit.

Last night I dreamed that I was helping a pregnant woman through her labor (sort of like a doula).  As the labor progressed, I became the woman in labor and had the feeling that the child I was about to give birth to was not my own…that I was a surrogate and the mother of the child was in the room with me.  I gave birth to the baby, and the dream was so realistic that I could almost feel the physical sensations that I remember feeling when my two children were born.  I love that feeling of release when you give the final push and your baby is born.  I really felt that during the dream.  As soon as the baby was born and handed to me, the feeling of my dream changed and I knew that this was MY baby.

So…wow.  What to make of that??  Here I am, living my life, happy as a clam NOT to be pregnant.  Several close friends have recently had babies or soon will, and I have not had ONE BIT of baby hunger.  I am finally in the physical shape I would like to be in and feel like I’m still getting the hang of having two kids.  Why on earth would I have this dream and wake up wondering if it’s time for another?

So what are your opinions of dreams, dear readers?  How do you tell if they really mean something or not?
