Dreams

I'd love to go to a dream analyst.  Lately, I've been having some crazy dreams!

Here's just a few of the latest strange dreams:

One night, I dreamt that I had a friend who had a car that could go to outer space.  We were gearing up for a trip and just before we left, I was sitting down.  All of a sudden, Sea Monkey's face started to protrude out of my stomach.  Not like it was popping out, but more like his face was stretching my skin so I could see the outline of his entire face.  Not sure exactly what it means but it was VERY STRANGE.  Even in the dream I thought it was odd.

(This one is probably the funniest)  I dreamt that I gave birth to Sea Monkey, and I was feeding him at night.  But I wasn't breastfeeding, it was from a bottle and there was no formula, it was only water.   Then I was in an elevator with my doctor and we were going to the nursery where all the babies were kept at the hospital to see Sea Monkey.  When they lifted him up in the window to show me so I could take a picture through the glass, Sea Monkey was a dog.  Yup, I dreamt that I gave birth to a puppy.  It looked like a golden retriever puppy.  I already have 2 dogs .... I want a baby to come out of me, not a puppy!

This last one was the scariest -
Again I dreamt that I had just given birth to Sea Monkey.  They put him on my chest and wiped him down, but then immediately the nurses tried to pull him away from me.  They kept telling me that they needed to take him to the nursery to perform some tests.  But I knew that wasn't right because in our childbirth education classes, they told us they can pretty much do everything they need to do right there in the room.  So I was fighting the nurses telling them I wanted to keep him in my room and they couldn't take him.  But they ended up winning, took him away from me and went down the hall towards the nursery.  I was so convinced they were going to steal him from me or switch him with another baby.  I ran down the hall after them!  We ended up in the nursery but then the dream switched to something totally different.  Maybe this one means that my maternal instinct is kicking in, and that I'm already scared to let him out of my sight.  At first I was thinking that while I'm in the hospital I may have him sleep in the nursery for one night - but now I swear he will never leave my side.  If the dream is a premonition I don't want to take any chances!


In other news:
*  It's July.  My due date is 8/4, but Sea Monkey might be born THIS MONTH if we go forward with induction at 39 weeks.  It's very exciting!!
*  I'm increasingly more and more uncomfortable as time goes on - and I'm more emotional too.  Yesterday I cried over preparing meals ahead of time to store in the freezer.  Yes, something totally rational to cry about.
*  Sea Monkey continues to be a busy, busy boy.  He is still heads down and I can feel him flip from side to side.  He kicks a lot less but rolls around A LOT.  Sometimes it hurts.
*  I start weekly doctor appointments this week - every Tuesday.  Hopefully all continues to go well and be fairly uneventful.

In non Sea Monkey related news:
*  We are updating the kitchen - today the guys are coming to do the template for the granite, so I'm working from home until they are done.  I'm actually hoping they are late and it takes a long time so I don't have to go into the office.
*  Next week the granite will be installed - still need to figure out how to unhook the kitchen sink and dishwasher, because I'm not hiring a plumber for something we can probably figure out ourselves.
*  TWO WEEKS from now, we will have air conditioning again!  I'm very excited about this one.  It's been incredibly hot and humid and the fan only does so much.

Well, that's about it for now ...... Can't wait for Sea Monkey's arrival!!
