So here’s something I bet ya’all didn’t know about me.
I am totally pregnancy psychic.
It’s very weird. Especially to me because I am the ultimate skeptic.
Growing up in Catholic school we heard all the time about someone’s aunt’s sister’s friend who went to Lourdes and while she was there praying her rosary turned from silver to gold!!!! OMG!!!! None of this ever actually happened to me and somehow I didn’t have any magic staircases in any house I’ve ever lived in, so you’ll forgive if I remained a skeptic. Although after awhile I learned to keep my eye rolls to myself when I heard about Mary in the tortilla. But let’s just say that when you tell me about the ancient viking cairns on your property or the time the ghost turned off the lights while you were fiddling around with a ouija board, I’m probably not going to subscribe to your newsletter, if you know what I mean.
And yet, I can’t argue with the evidence before me.
1. When my best friend Sara was pregnant, I knew before she did, I had a flash while I was running some weekend long run and I swear, the flash in my head said “Oh! Sara’s pregnant” and when she didn’t get her period and she insisted to me that she couldn’t be pregnant, I knew she was. And she was. And then I thought it was going to be a boy, for a long time, but the week before the ultrasound I just knew it was a girl, and it was.
2. When my SIL got pregnant, I had no idea, but I knew right from the beginning that it was a girl, and it is!
3. My other SIL has various issues with her lady bits and went through years of infertility treatments and shots and all that hoo ha while trying to get pregnant. I had a dream a few months ago that she needed to sit down and tell the whole family something. A week later she told us she was pregnant. I thought she was having a boy for a long time. Then she sent me an email the day before her 20 week ultrasound and said “Ok, what’s it gonna be?” and I got another flash, the second I read the email, that it was going to be a girl. And it was!
4. I had a dream that a friend of mine was pregnant with a baby boy. Two weeks later I found she had been pregnant but had had a miscarriage.
5. None of this on its own would totally freak me out except for the following. Two weeks ago or so I was on the phone with my mother in law and I said, “You know, I just have the weirdest feeling that someone I know is going to have a girl and they’re going to name it Sophia.” Less than 24 hours later a friend of mine from Michigan emailed me and told me that she was 22 weeks pregnant and it was a girl. They are naming her Sophie.
FREAKY.

So, you should know what you are having next then! Well?
you are freaking me out.
Quick tell me I’m not having any more kids!
I, too, am usually a skeptic but damn if I didn’t just have chills run down my back!
Um, well if you get any of your visions about me, please ALERT.
I’m having a psychic vision too — I walk in the door to a house… it’s a nice looking house, but has some repair issues stemming from the overall age of the property… someone hands me a cold beer, tells me to sit down and relax, and that she’ll watch the baby.
Then, after going to an ill-conceived work-related ‘networking’ dinner at a logging conference, I return home to find more cold beer waiting, and a voice whispers in my ear … “Go ahead and go to a movie, I’ll watch the baby…”
When I return home from the movie, a path of flower petals leads me directly to the bedroom, where there is a note that says…
“I’ve taken the baby to a hotel for 2 days, go ahead and sleep as much as possible, you can cuddle with the dog if you like.”
