Dreams...

Well I had a dream last night that I gave birth to a beautiful baby GIRL! We named her something Italian too- like Gabriella- I think this idea came from me having Kelson say "Bellisima" to people and kissing both sides of their cheeks- just to be cute. In the dream I just couldn't understand how the baby was born already without me knowing the gender first and how she was full grown and not pre-mature. It was a really cool dream and seemed so real. Not sure if this is a dream of things to come or just another weird pregnancy dream :) I have to say since the baby's heartbeat was 155bpm and now this dream, its got me thinking we may have another girl afterall. June 7th we will know for sure :)

Overall everything else is going good. LAst week in the first trimester, so really excited about my energy level returning.

On a sad and epic note- North Alabama was hit hard last Wed, April 27th, by several E4-5 Tornados. We were VERY fortunate that our house wasn't damaged in the storms. Roads on each side of us had severe damage and homes were demolished. Such a sad and devistating time. Poor Nin and George had some damage, but luckily are safe. Most all of North Alabama lost power for at least 5 days and some are still without. Worked was shut down and I'm just now returning back to work today. It's sad to see all the devistation and I feel so fortunate that we weren't involved and we were able to help those in need. God does listen to prayers and blesses those who bless others. Our house became the "command center" for the family/corner :) Our gracious buddy, Billy Hunt, let us borrow his generator, so we had power to our fridge, a tv, and some lights. He saved the day for us! It got so bad that we boiled water to mix in our freezing cold hot tub and the family members took turn taking QUICK baths. The water was unbearable. Its so easy to take things for granted. But we thank our Lord and Savior and angels for watching over us!!!!
