Dreams

Maybe it's because I've been reading up on my Prenatal class information, or maybe it's because I'm finally feeling super pregnant or talking about labour and delivery a lot but last night I had the most vivid dream about giving birth (and yep I was at home when it happened haha!). I actually woke up and had to feel my belly to check if I actually had given birth or not.

Now the only thing (2 things) that made it not realistic was that there wasn't just one baby but three...some how the ultrasound missed those extra heart beats and bodies. And after I had held them and they were taken to get cleaned up when they returned one was at least 2 or 3 years old size and developmental wise and the other two about 1. And I thought, wow I just caught up to my sister just like that! Haha! It was really really cool and I felt super happy and so much love for those babies (toddlers).
But then I started freaking out cause I hadn't tried to breastfeed within the first 30 minutes of giving birth and thought I messed everything up, that and they didn't get too much skin to skin contact cause I was still wearing all my clothes. Weird. Anyhow so that was my dream, as weird as it was it was very comforting. Oh also after giving birth I remember in my dream not remembering anything but the pushing part and feeling the head. I couldn't remember how I got there. Ha lets just hope it's that easy! ;)

Well I am looking forward to it, I'm 37.5 weeks now, only 2.5 weeks (give or take) to go! I'm getting a little nervous but I'm more excited than anything else. I'm thankful that it is not a fearful thing in my life (thank you Mom and Ness and the other women who shared their positive experiences!) and I know even though life isn't always complication free, that God designed my body to work a certain way, He created this little one inside me and He'll be there to see it through.

  1. Yes - that's a strange outcome for your dream - but you always had 'out loud' dreams!! I just know you'll be a great new mommy and do all the things on your checklist - but you don't have to - it should be very natural so just take each sweet moment as it comes! xo Mom
