...So last night was Jeremy's turn to dream about kids. He told me this morning that he had a dream that we had two kids, and we were at some social function and each of us agreed to watch one kid. Apparently we both got caught up in conversations, and suddenly neither of us knew where our kids were and couldn't find them! I think that was about the gist of the dream, and he said it ended there.
At least he didn't dream that I lost MY kid and the one he was watching was perfectly fine! :-) We were both equally negligent... lovely.

Dream
I had a dream last night that I found out we're having a boy. And I was briefly disappointed that it wasn't a girl, but I quickly got over it. I find this funny because I honestly don't care what the gender of our baby is... I'd just prefer a healthy child.
I'll know in about 5 weeks if my dream was prophetic or not!

No turning back
So, it's been a while since I've posted. We left for Texas on May 10th and returned May 19th, and I haven't taken the time to write since then. However, much has happened. We had a fabulous vacation in Texas and I'll write more about that another time.
I think now is the best time to go ahead and talk about the biggest thing that's going on in our world right now.... I'm pregnant! It has been quite funny to see the various responses when we tell people. I know there are many people, especially people that have known me for years and years, that thought this day would never come. I think some people have been truly shocked, which just cracks me up.
The reality is, I think Jeremy and I could have been happy for the rest of our lives if it was just the two of us. We've never felt the NEED to be parents. But somewhere over the past year and a half or so, I've felt a gentle whisper that I should give up control of whether or not I become a mother. I've never been necessarily opposed to it, but I've never been super gung-ho either. So last summer we decided to leave it up to the Lord. I went off of birth control, and started monitoring all those things women do when they're trying to get pregnant. I learned more about my body than I've ever cared to know! And in March, God gave us our answer. Barring something happening between now and when I deliver in December, it looks like we will certainly be parents.
Here's something not many people know about me: I never thought I'd be able to get pregnant. I haven't ever had any "female" problems, so I don't really know where I got that feeling from, but it has always been there, as long as I can remember. I just figured my body would somehow say "no". Or, at the very least, I thought it would take a very, very long time to get pregnant. I was pretty wrong on all accounts. But see, that's kind of the beautiful thing to me. I turned the issue over to the Lord, and now I can be so completely content with the result. I am thrilled that we're going to have a little one. We've experienced so much joy already just seeing the little baby at the 2 ultrasounds I've had. It is truly an amazing experience, and I am enjoying the journey.
And now my friends and family don't have to think we're so weird for not having kids. Everyone wins. :-)
Here's the first ultrasound picture taken May 1st. I've had another one since then but I haven't scanned in the photo. More to follow, I'm sure.

2008 Capital City Gala
Jeremy and I attended a charity event a couple of weeks ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting any pictures. It's not every day we get all gussied up to go out, so I figured I should document it!
My friend Stephanie is a member of the Junior Women's Club of Raleigh, and they're the ones that hosted this charity event. The proceeds went to the Make a Wish Foundation. Stephanie is on the far right in the picture above.
Here's a random picture LouAnn took from the dance floor.
It was a really fun night. I highly recommend getting fancied up once a year and going out. It feels special and it's a great way to build fun memories. (Some more fun than others, right Lou?) :-)
