Crazy Dreams

Could my baby be born with a full-grown, black goatee?

My mother-in-law told me I'd have some crazy pregnancy dreams. She told me some of hers .. that freaked me out. But then, I started having my own that were just as weird.

A month ago, I dreamed the baby was born and looked like a Hispanic girl baby. Lots of jet black hair, dark skin, and he was tiny and feminine looking. I kept telling Jon he would change and look different if a few months, but he wasn't buying it. He kept saying "Laura, that's not our baby." I forced myself to love him anyways. I later realized I was probably dreaming that because many of the baby pictures at the doctor's office were of Hispanic babies he delivered.

Last night - I dreamed I saw my beautiful baby boy's face through my belly. His face was pressed against the skin and I could see him so clearly. He was adorable, but he had a goatee. It was a black, artsy-looking goatee. Strange. Again, I tried to tell Jon that the goatee hair would fall out when he was born, but he wasn't so sure.

I know. He'll be fine. But it's so strange.

Belly Shot

Jonathan got his first tattoo today. It was for the show - tattoo enhancement and belly art. Cute, huh? Shelly took some pictures afterwards.
It must have be tickling him because he kept moving around. It's a SUN - since he's my SON. : )

Baby Shower with Family/Friends/Neighbors

Thank you to everyone who came to our first baby shower. It was so nice to have everyone together to celebrate. I know Grandma and Aunt Stella enjoyed it - they were in town from Pennsylvania for my brother's wedding. It was so nice they were able to be here to celebrate both events.

Here's a picture of the name letters that everyone helped us paint for his room. It turned out even cuter than I expected. Thank you.

We got so many wonderful gifts from everyone - we don't know what to do with all of them just yet. : ) Jon is going to have to get busy putting things together and folding lots of clothes!
