Nobody warned me 2016 was going to be an exciting one too...
Sometime in late 2015, my very dear friend and colleague shared with me the sudden news that she was expecting her third child. At that time to be honest it was "Omg Omg...how are you going to survive..." interjected with lots of sympathetic laughs. A scary scenario I couldn't even envision.
So she shared with me her story of pregnancy...she had a dream last night...she dreamt I was pregnant. What?!! Not herself but me...I swallowed and I felt my hair rising and I laughed nervously. She got spooked the morning after and got the pregnancy test kit out to test and indeed...jackpot. Unbelievable...I did not know how to react except to gloat..."did you not prevent"? Seems like the timing of the cycle was "off"...
A week passed and auntie red did not arrive...UH OH...cannot be. I was super sure my cycle was accurate and punctual. I couldn't bear not knowing, so i tested...a very super duper faint double line. Listen to your parents when they tell you never to laugh at other people because what goes around comes around. It's true!!! I told my colleague...of course it was her turn to laugh...so yes dreams do come true.
The upside was we had each other for company which turned to be the best ever from that moment on and up till now where we share the latest happenings on pregnancy woes, milk vomit and poop colors with each other. Her little Emily and my little Ashley came into the world in 2016 three weeks apart, two beautiful girls...the stuff dreams are made of.
On a side note....I recently discovered a hilarious wadsapp chat to my husband two months before my pregnancy. The photo attached below. Never say never...That said, I am so blessed to have Ashley...a pleasant surprise but a very much treasured gift from God.
