I have read that when you're pregnant you can have more vivid dreams, and I would definitely say that has been true for me.
The other day I had a strange dream that I thought I would share with y'all. I dreamed that I took a graduate level micro-economics class at UW. And my instructor was none other than Greg Mankiw! I was so excited that I would get to meet Greg Mankiw, and I just conveniently ignored the fact that in real life he teaches at Harvard, not UW. (I think in my dream he actually commuted back and forth somehow, switching between Harvard and UW every other week or something.)
I get to class on the first day, and "Greg Mankiw" is this disheveled guy with scraggly, long hair. He basically seems like a semi-drunk homeless guy! He draws this squiggly graph on the board, says some stuff that I don't understand, and then just starts drawing random pictures. I was so disappointed! How could this guy who looked and acted like Randy Quaid from Independence Day be the former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors?
Here's my analysis. First of all, this is actually the second dream I have had about GM. The now officially "recurring" dream always starts out with me being super excited to meet GM but ends in disappointment somehow. I think it represents my fear of going back to grad school. I'm worried that it will be too hard, and/or that I won't be able to handle it with the baby.
But even though my subconscious is apparently worried, when I'm awake I am still moving forward with the plan! I signed up to take the GRE (again... argh), so spending all that money forces me to study hard! And really... if I can learn how to drive stick in Seattle, I can handle grad school, right? :)

You go girl! But do not take a full course load.
Remember to rest cause baby comes first. You need to make sure its healthy and happy so you and your husband can be tittilated by new life.We had pregnant women in our school and they handled it well and graduated just in time for their babies birth. Very well planned, I'd say.Me on the other hand, I had no help and tired myself out leading two lives and all the driving almost made me collapse from the duress.
Stick shift, is the best in the world.You eventually forget you have it.
My Dad calmed me down when he told me, on a hill, the car just goes back 7 inches. So you have time to change gears since the car behind you should be more than 7 inches away and if no, it deserves to be hit. lol It would not be your fault.So I never worried again.lol
