It was JUST a dream!

I thought I would share one of my crazy pregnant dreams with you...

Background: Many people have seen this picture of a pregnant woman, and you can see the impression of a foot pushing out through her belly. Very cool picture. And I think it's where my dream originates.

So, I dreamed the other night that our little girl had her foot pushed into my belly and you could see the impression of her foot. It was so cool! So cool in fact that I didn't want Brad to miss it. Since he was just in the other room, I grabbed the little foot that was pushing out in order to hold it in place until Brad could see. Well, he saw it...and I BROKE her foot! I was mortified. We went to the doctor (obviously), and he told me I was the only mom he knew of that could break their child while they were still in the womb. He was even so worried that he gave me my own ultrasound machine in order to check her and make sure I didn't break her again. AGH!

Can you imagine a more terrible dream? To be told I broke my child, and to actually have done it. I think that it's probably one of those inner thought things that probably means that I'm worrying about whether I'm going to be a good mom, and if I can keep her safe and take care of her, etc., etc. But, I have to believe that that is normal, especially for first time moms. I mean, let's face it, I have no idea what I'm doing! But, somehow, in rare moments like this, I know I can do it, I can't tell you how I'm going to do it, but I know I can - WE can! Brad and I will learn together, and like so many other parents, all of whom have been parents for the first time before, we'll learn. And in the meantime we'll give our little girl all the love we can! We love her so much already. I can't wait to meet her. It's getting closer. :)
