Do you ever have dreams so real that you tell yourself in the dream that this is so real it can't possibly be a dream? I've actually pinched myself to be sure in dreams, then when I don't wake up I KNOW what I'm going through is real. Yes, I'm really losing my teeth down the sink as I brush them and cry hysterically over my mouthful of gums. But sometimes it goes in the other direction where I wake up and I'm so sad that the dream wasn't real I try to go back to sleep and pick up where it left off. Unfortunately that never works.
Well, now that we know we're having a boy, I can share something that I've known since I was first pregnant with Mister. I've been having dreams since then that we were going to have 3 boys. So when they told us Pumpkin was a boy I wasn't surprised. And now this time around I wasn't surprised either. I never said much about it because if I was wrong it would just be me with crazy dreams. But now that it's happened, I can say I knew it all along! :) The funny thing with my dreams is that I have enough of them that come true that I tend to read into my dreams a lot of times and worry about whether this one is the next one that will be true. But since most of them don't, I'm just left wondering "Oh goodness, is this the one that'll be true?" And sometimes something will happen that will spark a memory of a dream I'd forgotten about until it came true weeks or even months later.
And though they're not dreams, I get "feelings" about things sometimes. Usually they involve avoiding danger and Scott is forever telling me "it'll be fine," which might be the most annoying phrase that comes out of his mouth. On more than a few occasions my "feelings" have gone unheeded and it turns out that I was right. Like when I had a bad feeling about Scott going skiing one day and he ended up going over the side of the mountain and nearly impaling himself on a sharp branch of a downed tree. Or when he got in a car accident that I had a feeling was coming. Or any number of smaller things. After something like this happens he'll be really good about listening to me when I say something like this, but when too much time has passed he starts to think I'm just being paranoid again. I don't get these strong feelings very often, but when I do they're really powerful and actually quite scary.
So now I pose the question: Am I a little bit psychic, crazy or are these things just coincidence?

All dreams mean something...but don't read too much into them...it can just be a tired mind at the end of the day trying to unwind. On the other hands...dreaming that you were going to have 3 boys all along is pretty special!
I think it's the Holy Ghost and personal revelation. Keep heeding to the spirit.
And I love your boys. They are so cute.
I go through the SAME EXACT thing with dreams and strong feelings, so much so that I keep a journal just for that. I have strong feelings, (like a gut feeling, but more intense) like the time I knew something bad was going to happen on a road trip with friends, so I backed out. They got into a car wreck (everyone was ok), but I just knew something bad was going to happen.
Earlier this year, I knew my friend was going to propose to his girlfriend before anyone knew. I dreamed he was shopping for a ring, but was having trouble. When I woke up, I wrote down the date and asked him about it when he told me the news. Needless to say he was a bit freaked when he verified the date of the dream and the receipt were the same. He also confirmed that he was having a lot of anxiety over which ring to purchase.
Is it a coincidence? A little bit psychic? Someone from our past on the other side guiding us? I dont know. I feel like all dreams/premonitions mean something, but I could literally spend all day reading into them. I find it best to just jot down all those dreams and feelings. If something feels really intense, and involves someone I know, I always tell them, but let them make their own choices.
Hey congrats on the boy! I find out on Sept 2nd at 9am!!! I have felt all along that it is a girl and I have had a few dreams that it's a girl. Travis always tells me that my dreams are weird and that he doesn't want to hear it! I think that when you are pregnant and those little spirits are waiting to come they can influence our minds and souls. We've known all along what and how many children any of us will have, it just takes time to figure it out!!!
You are just super close to spiritual promptings and a really good listener when they come :) That is awesome. I think it is a gift.
Mister looks like a professional swimmer getting ready to dive off the platform! And, Pumpkin is just as cute as ever!
They say that when you dream in color it means that you're creative. I don't know if that's true, but I also dream in color and have fantasic dreams that I've even used for plots for my writing. If the dream is meaningful I write it down in my writing journal to reflect on later. So dreams can be useful.
Love the pictures of your boys. You are really blessed with a nice family.
Love,
Grandma Wanda
