His Father's Eyes

Last night I had my first "baby boy" dream. I've had a couple dreams so far that I had a little girl so I was surprised to see a little boy. The dream was very odd but definitely worth writing about so here I go...

Instead of getting ultrasound, the doctors in my dream would actually take the baby out at every check out to make sure it was okay. I know, funny right? Well, at my first appointment, I was only about 11 weeks and when they took the baby out I couldn't see it. Immediately, the nurse looked at it and said, "Oh I can see right away what this baby is!" (regarding the baby's gender). She never told me what it was nor let me see it, but I assumed that it was a boy because I was thinking that if she could tell right away then she must have saw the little thing right away. Well, at my next appointment the same thing happened. I was further along but still not able to see the baby when they took it out to check it, but the doctor took it out this time and he said the same thing as the nurse did. At my third visit, I actually saw the baby's face! This was my first time in any dream ever seeing my baby's face so it was very exciting and felt so real! When I saw him, I knew right away that he was a little boy and he was absolutely adorable. He had huge brown eyes with dark eye lashes, and he kept smiling at me with a crooked little smile that was so cute. Joshua was holding him and kept staring at him with a big grin. Now this other half of my dream got even stranger...

Whenever the baby was out of me, he only had so long before he would stop breathing and his heart would stop beating so there was a time limit for how long we could spend with him this last time. There was this thing hanging on the wall that looked similar to a thermometer and it would tell us how long we had left before he had to be back in. Well, Joshua and I were alone with him and the thing on the wall said that he only had seven seconds left! The nurse came in and I started to panic. I asked her about the time limit and she said that they still had to clean the baby before he could be put back in me, and that she really wasn't sure what would happen. I really started freaking out and crying. And that's how the dream ended.

I also had a second dream last night that involved the baby... or babies, should I say. In this dream, I just gave birth to a set of boy/girl twins! The girl was very tiny and looked premature, and the boy was like double her size. The boy was very active and kept rolling over the girl and wouldn't calm down. Everyone was concerned that he was "out of control". LOL. But that was pretty much it.

Strange dreams, eh?!
