MY FIRST BABY DREAM - FINALLY!!

So I haven't had a SINGLE baby dream since the one I had when I first found out I was pregnant and saw "twins" on the TV screen.. I don't really count that one... and it kinda bummed me out that instead of dreaming of my sweet little baby I would just have these incredibly odd, extremely obscure, vivid dreams about who knows what. Well last night I had my first real baby dream and it was AWESOME!  I was standing in front of a bright window with the sun shining down on my belly and when I looked down I could see inside. It was as if it was being lit up by a flashlight which made my skin translucent.  When I looked down Lucas was laughing and smiling and making the funniest faces at me. It was soooo cute!!  He was just sooooo happy and absolutely adorable. That was it... it was only for a few seconds that I saw him but it was sooo neat! :)

SLEEP NEXT TO ME - I DARE YOU!!

So for the past 27 (almost 28) years of my life up until about 2 weeks ago I have always been a very quiet sleeper - never snore, no heavy breathing.. you know just a peaceful sleeper. Well not anymore!!!  Doug woke up one morning several weeks ago and said "You were snoring last night!!" I of course did not believe him since I DON'T snore... but apparently I have been doing it ever since!! Wait it gets better... about a week ago I woke up from a nap in a big pile of drool!!!  ahhhhhhhhhh!  so gross!  And ever since then every time I wake up I have a wet drool spot on my pillow!!  Sorry I know this is gross but I have to share because I don't know I just do.  And to top it all off (if that wasn't bad enough) I would say from about the time I started drooling every night until now, I wake up screaming in the middle of the night to horrible leg cramps!  The very first night I got them it went something like this....

Around 1AM..

ME: Ahhhhhh!!  Owwwwwwww!!!  Owwwwwww! OWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! 

DOUG: huh? wah? huh? are you okay? what's wrong?
ME: My LEG!!!! OWWWWWWWWW!!! 
DOUG: sits up half asleep and massages the cramp out of my left leg (what a sweet hubby!!!)

then that same night around 3AM..
ME: OW! OW! OW! OW! OWWWWWWW!! 
DOUG: wah? huh? are you okay?? 
ME: My other leg!!!!!!!! 
DOUG: sits up and massages the cramp out of my right leg (again I love him for this). 

So ever since this lovely night I've had leg cramps every night since (although now we are down to just one leg so that's good).. and Doug knows the drill at this point. :)  Soooooo... who wants to sleep next to the snoring, drooling, leg cramping monster??  Anybody?  I didn't think so... :)
