Goosebumps

When I first started my blog, I received a Book Face message from an elementary school friend, out of the blue. She was always a sweet girl when we were kids, but we have only been in touch occasionally since then. In August, her note gave me goosebumps (aka I desperately wanted it to be true), but we know how that turned out.

So, today I stumbled out of bed and checked email. This is what I found:

Hi HRF,

So I have a random thing to tell you. I know I wrote to tell you I had dreamed you told me you were pregnant a while back. I think I mentioned to you that when that happens it always surprises me to learn that it's true. You shared you had done a procedure and I hoped to hear that it had been successful.

Well, last night I had a dream I was your surrogate. Totally random, I know. I mean, my dreams are really irrelevant and one should pay no attention to them, but I felt I should tell you if only to say that your baby is in my thoughts.

Just know there is one more person out there sending massive amounts of good thoughts and well wishes for you. From what I see on Facebook alone you and your husband are a wonderful couple and adorable. I'll be so happy for you both when you get to wherever this journey is taking you.

All the best,
Old Friend

I don't know how to feel about this. Her note is so kind and thoughtful. But, it makes me both hopeful and sad at the same time. Why did her dream switch from me being pregnant to her being a surrogate? Does her dream mean I'll be successful, or that I'll need a surrogate?

Or, maybe it means absolutely nothing. His Royal Fabulousness dismissed the last dream, and I probably should dismiss this one. Right?

Twilight Zone

I got the most perfectly timed, random message from a girl I knew in elementary school today. We are Facebook friends, but never chat. Just occasional comments on posts and exchanged from time to time. Well this morning, I woke up to this:

"Hi [nickname I never, ever use as an adult],
Ok, so this is going to sound random but a few nights ago I had a dream that you were pregnant. This has only happened to me twice before and when I told the people they said that's crazy because I am and nobody knows yet. So...just putting that out there!!! Hope all is good at your end. Your side of the country got a little tremor, I see. :)"
- Friend I last saw in person when I was about 10.

My jaw dropped. I read it out loud to Kev.  I have re-read it several times. It just blows my mind when weird shit like this pops up.

It doesn't mean a thing, but it would be a great story to tell some day if we are lucky this cycle.
