Today It Seems Real...

As nearly anyone who's been pregnant will tell you, pregnancy inspires weird dreams. Often baby orientated, but not always -- tho the baby dreams usually have something weird going on. I know people who've dreamed that they've given birth to cats, and another that dreamed she went for her ultrasound and had a wonderfully healthy baby dragon in there. Personally I've dreamt that I've given birth to two at a time, also that I had a walking, talking, toddler-sized MiniMe straight after birth. Understandable, probably -- but very weird nonetheless.

Last night I dreamed that I had my baby. The weird thing last night was... merely that it wasn't weird. Granted, I dreamt that I went in to labour, then the next thing I knew I woke up and had my baby presented to me. Whether that means I had a c-section or simply that my mind blanked the parts it doesn't know, I don't know. I don't even really care.

What sticks with me is that I was presented with a beautiful, normal, newborn sized and newborn healthy, baby girl, swaddled up in a fuzzy pink blanket. With a full head of (newborn) dark hair.

Suddenly this all seems to very real to me. I'm going to have a baby.
