Baby dream number three
"I had another baby dream last night. It was very strange.
I dreamt that I 'woke up' to find my baby in bed with me. Now in the dream I was still pregnant with this baby, but it had emerged for a bit. I paused for a second and wondered how it was going to return to complete the nine months, but decided not to think about that and focus on figuring out why my baby was 'outside.'
In a diaper and about the size of a three month-old, my child needed changing. While still in bed, and trying not to wake Ross, I took the diaper off. By doing so, I inadvertently found out that we were having a baby girl (mind you I had not given birth to this baby yet, she just came out to get her diaper changed). I felt like I was in a bit of a pickle, knowing the gender of our baby before Ross -- especially since I am the one who wants to keep the gender a surprise until the delivery (Ross would rather know now).
I was trying to figure out if I was going to share the news with Ross when, upon re-diapering our child, she was actually a he! I got nervous because of all the stories I've heard about baby boys accidentally squirting the person changing their diapers. Low and behold he looked at me with impish eyes and let loose! Though I couldn't block the spray with the diaper, I didn't get hit because I chose that moment to wake up to real life. No baby, no diaper, and I still don't know the gender."
