Our beautiful church
In this dream, Ken and I were back in our church, DUMC in PJ on a Sunday for service. When we had arrived in front of church, I was so amazed at the natural beauty surrounding our church. At the back of my unconscious mind, I had remembered that our church was a building in an industrial area in PJ. However, in this dream, our church looked like this:
This is a picture which I had taken off the internet that best described the view I had in my dream. Our church is the building in white. Notice the nearby horses which I had added into the pic. 
I remembered telling Ken in the dream “I have forgotten how beautiful our church surrounding is!” Haha… heavenly isn’t it? The truth is, there are places in Malaysia that is also as beautiful as the picture above too!
Freak toad!
This was a nightmare! I was awakened twice and felt traumatised! I have a phobia with frogs and toads mainly because of their skin texture and bulgy eyes. No matter how attractive the colour and size of any frogs / toads, I just shudder at their looks!
In this dream, this toad was HIDEOUS! It was round in size, slightly larger than the size of a compact disc, had rough lumpy skin and big ugly poppy eyes. It not only could hop, it could also walk like a cat! (which means, it could pounce on you like cats do!) EWWWWWWWW! Just describing this gives me goosebumps! After seeing that this toad that could pounce on me, I freaked out and started running (with my bump) and woke up in shock. Baby was kicking frantically in my womb! I think I had scared baby because my heart rate had increased. So I tried to calm down, and fell asleep again only to dream that this freak toad had come into my house through my toilet drainage hole! Freaked me out a second time and I woke up to find baby kicking again! Awww my poor baby! I tried to calm down and sleep again, in the meantime, I reached out for Ken’s hand and rested it on my tummy. I learnt that baby could sense a different pulse from a different hand and true enough, baby’s kicks lessened after a few minutes because Ken was snoring away and obviously calmer than I was. I fell asleep shortly after, no more dreams of that freak toad thank God!
hey Cyn, some of your dream are so funny. I like the fatty mama-haahha! I dreamt alot too during my pregnancy, some are funny, some are really scary ones!
I slept alot too throughout my pregnancy. But I dont think sleeping now will make up for the sleep later. After birth, you will definitely be super tired and exhausted due to not enough sleep because you need to wake up throughout the night to feed your baby, eg need to wake up every 2-3 hrs for feeding. I was super duper tired in the first few weeks, luckily my mom was around to help out on house work and cook. Feeding I have to do it myself, mom can’t help. After awhile, once you get used to the sleeping + feeding time and you will feel less tired.
I think I gained about 12kg while I was pregnant, My weight dropped slowly after labour but I am still about 5kg more than my before pregnancy weight. I was like you very upset about the weight gains. Just can’t help it cause in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, my eating appetite was so good that I ate as much as Anthony. Worst, I was craving for sweet things too – like candy, chocolate, cakes etc.
