So I finally had a dream about baby...
...and I'm very glad it was just that - a dream. In it I had the baby and forgot about it for two days, and when I finally remembered I found it lying in my bed looking really thin and hungry, like it was about to pass out. So of course I freaked out and tried to nurse it but my milk hadn't come in yet. So I ran to Walgreens for some formula and it took me forever to find some...So glad I woke up from that! Yikes!

Make a pregnancy ticker
I've been having nightmares about the baby, too. Most of them are about birth defects, really awful ones where the baby can't live. Or I will dream that I am suddenly in labor and I wake up panicked because I think it was real and it's way too early for that.
I think we're probably just stressing. I have a friend who lost her daughter 2 years ago. She's an amazing woman who has handled her grief incredibly well, but I still remember how she and her husband looked at the funeral and I can't get it out of my head. It just scares me and I know causes a lot of stress which probably causes these nightmares.
Oh how awful :-( About a month ago I had a dream that I wasn't pregnant anymore. I was so upset in my dream, crying and wailing about how it's not fair that I can't have a baby, and why me etc.....when I woke up it all felt so real that I was shocked at first to realize it was just a dream! Then of course I was so relieved that I was still pregnant! But it stuck with me for a few days.
More recently, I had a dream that the baby was growing in a cardboard box in my living room. There were small holes on 2 sides of the box so you could peek in and see how the baby was doing. I peeked in and saw the tiny baby floating around in there, stretching it's arms and legs, and it made me feel happy!! Dreams are SO weird!!!!
