Parenting Dreams

Since before I was pregnant I would have tons of baby dreams. They seemed to never be good ones. Dreams that were so crazy they made me wonder... am I cut out to be a parent? I would wake up and tell Jesse my dreams where he would just laugh at me because they were so strange!

Lately I have been having labor & delivery dreams. I like these ones because I wake up going... Now, that wasn't that bad! Deep down I am afraid of labor & delivery, but I think every women feels this way when it is their first and they don't have a clue what to expect. Right? Please tell me I am right! ; )

Last night I had another one of those dreams... Here it goes...

I just delivered a baby girl! (First dream where I actually know the gender.) I name my baby girl and I take her home. A few days later I forget her name!! I have no idea what her name is!! (Jesse isn't in this dream.) I go to my Mom and my Sister and tell them I am such a bad Mom, I forgot my baby girl's name. I start crying. They tell me to go back to the hospital and they will be able to tell me the name. That's what I do. I get to the hospital and I tell the nurses that they are going to think that I am a horrible mother, but I forgot my baby's name. I start crying! They tell me that I named my baby... Fye Joy. I was shocked! I really named my baby that?!!? Was I on drugs? Did I really say that? I was so embarrassed. I kept thinking... I have a girl name that I really like. Why did I not use that name? Where did this name come from?

The dream went on for a long time with me having to tell people that my baby's name was Fye Joy. She was a cute and snugly Fye...

Other dreams I have had... I own a motorcycle and I need to figure out how to get my baby on the motorcycle with me. I come up with this brilliant idea to put my baby inside the motorcycle. So in the dream I am trying to squeeze the baby into this tiny spot so we can go for a ride.

Another dream... I now own a truck and the baby doesn't fit in it with the car seat. So I decide that the baby is in a car seat (so that is safe) and we can just let the baby ride around in the box of our truck!!

Another dream... I just delivered our baby and Jesse wasn't there. I wanted to see Jesse and tell him that we just had a baby so I leave the hospital and leave the baby at the hospital so I can go get Jesse!

Another dream... my sister and I go into labor together and we are in the same room having contractions. Except I have to go get a c-section. C-section was awesome! No pain! I felt great afterwards! (I woke up that morning thinking c-section is the only way to go.) Again Jesse wasn't there and I ended up having to call him, after the c-section, and tell him to come to the hospital because we just had a baby.

I don't think these dreams are going to stop. I've been hearing (and reading) that your dreams only get more vivid and strange as the pregnancy goes on. I also had about 3 more dreams last night that were totally off the wall and strange. I even dreamed about Maggy!! I think that is the first time I have ever dreamed about about a dog!

I gotta run and go finish painting my living room! It is looking so awesome!!!! The color is perfect!! Check back later for pictures!!
