The past week....

Has been hell for me, mainly because I refrained from posting any new blogs, but I just can't take it anymore!!! 

So, here goes:

I found out that my wife-y from Ohawaiio is coming in November to stay for an entire month, which is BEYOND exciting for me, because (after okaying it with the hubs) I was able to ask, and she graciously accepted, for her to be in the delivery room for the birth of Jesse.  And, if I might just add, that the hubs is considering using Christopher in the name now (male version of the wife-y's middle name), which I just think is amazing.  But the other two names we have chosen are very important to us as well, because they are family names.  Jesse is the name of his uncle whom he was very close to, Donald was my grandfather's name on my mother's side.  I found it very fitting that we decided to give him my grandpa's name since we found out we were having a boy on the anniversary of his death. 

I've also been working on my discussions with my guides.  I'm still really shaky on it all, but when I was little, I would see things, hear things, feel things.  As I got older and I was told I was out of my mind, there are no such thing as ghosts, etc., those things started to fade.  They never really went away; I just blocked them out.  My teenage years were hectic enough trying to fit in, without being the "ghost whisperer."  But yesterday, a bouncy seat that I had just bought started blinking and singing on it's own.  I promise, no cats, no dogs, no kids were anywhere near it when it went off.  This isn't really an uncommon event in this house either.  When Wesley was little, his toys would randomly go off in his room, and then when he got older he would speak of a little girl with brown hair he would play with in his room, and how much she loved a specific toy of his.  Alyssa said similar things, about the girl with brown hair, playing with her, that she was the one who got the kitchen stuff out, not Aly.  Things simmered down after Aly went to school full time this past fall, but I have a feeling she is still here, and just tickled pink that there will be another baby to play with, and of course all the spiffy baby toys. 

On the other hand, I used to feel the presence of my mother in law's late husband who passed away of a heart attack in the living room, very close to where I am sitting now, but that seems to have faded.  Either he's moved on, or just doesn't make his presence known to me.  But things are still coming up "missing" and then mysteriously show up in the most random of obvious places, one of the things my mother in law swears was/is his doing... but then again, she's never called me crazy for the stories of the things I've experienced.  I should probably do some reading up on the paranormal stuff I've seen, or how better to communicate with my own personal guides (one of which I think is my Grandpa Don, and I'm pretty sure Grandma Jackie is there too, cuz all of the sudden I have a craving for some Honey Nut Cheerios...)
