Big brother???

Koreans believe you can get some "future" answers from your dreams... I know that sounds crazy, and I've had my doubts...but I've witnessed this craziness first hand.  When you dream of all white (usually a wedding)...and yes it does matter who's getting married..and the details....it usually means a death will happen within a week or so.  I can only imagine what that sounds like from a reader's perspective who didn't grow up with a crazy Korean mom!  But I assure you.....it's never been wrong! Then you have the other random ones like your teeth falling out....I'm always forewarned to be careful and to drive safely (but nothing bad has happened yet!  Knock on wood!)  

Where is this story going  you ask??  If you haven't guessed by now...I had a dream.  (DUN, DUN, DUNNNNNNNN!)  Not a death dream....but I had a dream about a fruit.  What in the world does that mean?! It means someone is pregnant with a girl.  Not just any fruit though...a yellow pineapple.  

So....I wake up and vividly remember this sweet, yellow, juicy pineapple I indulged in in my dream! The first thing I do when I actually dream of something (doesn't happen very often) is call that crazy, Korean mother of mine to see what it means.  I guess you can say it's become kind of a "family tradition" to do that!  

I called her up...always starting with the casual "how are you....anything new?"  Then I dived right into my goldmine of a dream that I was dying to know what it meant.  My mom is excitedly telling me....in between the details....how someone is pregnant with a girl!  Awwww! How cute!  Now everyone around me is running through my head as I try to guess who got stumped and drank the water :)))

In my excitement I blurted out "it was so sweet and juicy!"....you know....talking about the pineapple.  What did I hear on the other line?

 Nothing. 

Not a thing. 

Dead silence.  

Then out of the silence came one of the sentences my mom is known for....
"Ooohhh myyy gaaahhhhhhhh."  

At that moment...I felt my stomach drop into my butt.  What just happened?! This conversation just took a U-turn into "let's scare Jennifer-Ville."  My mom then decides to ask how old Maxson is.  Not only do I hysterically scream "HE'S ONLY 6 MONTHS!!!!" into the phone...but then I got a flood of thoughts!  Oh man?! Is it me!?? I can't be pregnant already?! It's not in MY plan! HA! Like Maxson was planned! :)))))  She just says to "be careful" and gets off the phone.

At this point I'm kind of panicking.  Can I handle a one year old...and a newborn?! How am I going to breastfeed and ninja roll around this place trying to stop Maxson from any mischief he's planning for the day?  THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!

So naturally I did what no girl should EVER do!  Never, ever, ever tell a guy you "might" be pregnant.  Not only is your stomach in your butt....but now so is his!   But I'm not considerate like that.....if I have to worry so is Jacob damnit!  And if I'm nervous....Jacob will be too!  .....but I actually just need a pregnancy test! I don't exactly feel like lugging Maxson around the store in his carseat...hunting down a pregnancy test.

Deja vu all over again.  Jacobs playing his game when I interrupted with "my mom scared me and now I think I'm pregnant."  Off to the store he went.  After 8 years of having my mom in his life...that sentence doesn't even confuse him.  Now this happened last time mind you...only we thought my sister was the knocked up one...and I was just taking one with her to be nice!  7 months later, Maxson arrived.  Now here we are again...except I'm by myself!

Jacob come back in what seems like the longest 10 minutes of my life! He hands me the box and takes Maxson downstairs.  Once again it's just me and this stick I have to pee on.  How special, right!? Why is it as women...we have to pee on a stick, then think of a fun way to let the "father" know and the rest of the family?? Why are we robbed from that celebration?! Don't get me wrong.  I will not hesitate to dance around my living room with a stick covered in my pee letting me know a baby is on shim's way.... but they should invent something cooler.  Like going to a doctor's office...and  walking through a door to a "surprise you're pregnant" party!  Just a thought.

After thinking 9 months ahead...waiting 2 minutes....and questioning everything going on in our lives at the moment....it reads "not pregnant!"  WOOOOOOOO! Take that mom!!  But now I can't help but wonder.....

Who's pregnant with a girl???  Is it you???  I guess in due time we shall find out!  Until then....I'm staying away from pineapples.
