I don't often have dreams about actually having a baby (I'm currently childless, this is my first attempt at TTC) but when I do it's normal life plus an infant. Not so today, my friends.
Last night I dreamt DH and I adopted fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. They were supposedly nine months old, but the girl looked way smaller. The boy was named Benjamin and was a happy, smiley blonde and blue-eyed chubber. The girl was named Naturea (are you mocking my love of nature names, subconscious??), which was given to her by her birth mother and which I desperately wanted to change. She was also an African American girl with very tight curly hair, and I remember thinking "oh god I need to look up how to style natural black hair, my white ass has no experience with this!"
DH and I were driving, and Naturea was asleep on his chest newborn style. I was playing with Benjamin who was sitting in the passenger side at my feet. Safety first! I spent the whole dream in a complete panic about having gone instantly from childless to mother of two. Poor Naturea and Benjamin.
So tell me what was the nuttiest dream you've had about having a kid? Or if you already have kids, about your present or future children?

I actually had recurring pregnancy dreams when I was really young, like 12-13ish. They used to really weird me out, especially since I was really not even remotely sexually active or even thinking about that kind of stuff back then. But they started up again after we started TTC. The best one was I was at someone's house and got a positive test. I went running through the house trying to find my mom (for some reason not H) and found Ronnie James Dio, whose house is was apparently. I told him and he was all happy for me (but still didn't leave the pool game he was playing).

I dreamt that I had gone an entire pregnancy w/out knowing that I was pregnant. I delivered and it was so exciting. I was holding my baby and was on the top of the world. Then I realized that I had to go to work and didn't have childcare. I kept trying to figure out how I was going to work with the baby. I someone decided that I would just wear a baby carrier all day and maybe nobody would notice. (I work in a hospital btw). It was kind of a stupid dream. I somehow in my dream didn't think it was possible to take maternity leave!
