24w3d - 15w4d to go!

I had a very vivid baby dream this weekend that I just had to share.

I dreamed that I had made it to full term, and went into labor. I yelled for Scott to get the bag for the hospital, and I went in the bedroom (which, oddly enough was my bedroom from when I was a teenager), only to immediately give birth - no pain involved, the baby just kind of fell out. I then looked at the clock and realized that I had been in labor for 15 minutes. Wow.

The baby came out wet, but clean looking, and instead of crying, she was laughing and smiling at me. I called down the hallway to Scott, and told him to never mind the bags, the baby was here!

I threw some clothes on her, and suddenly realized that I had forgotten to check and make sure she was a girl. So I peeked. Sure enough, it was a baby girl. So, I dressed her back up, laid her down on her back on the bed, and then she flipped herself over and crawled to me. What can I say, I gave birth to a six month old.

So then we invited everyone over (all of our families/friends) and Scott and Stefanie were putting together a barbecue on the pool deck. I sat out on the patio and relaxed while everyone passed the baby around. Then I looked at the grill and thought I saw a baby on it, and ran outside screaming. The grill suddenly became engulfed in flames, and Stefanie ran out and threw water on it. It turned out to just be chicken on the grill and not a baby, but the grill needed to be put out anyway.

That last part was just plain weird.

But the most vivid part of the dream was how clear I could see the baby's face. She was absolutely adorable, with big blue eyes (like all babies have) and Scott's little nose and a cute little baby mouth.

When I woke up, I was actually sad because I had to "give her back". Now I just really want these last 15 weeks to hurry up and go by so she's here!
