I had my first strange baby dream last night.
I dreamed that I was pregnant, but I already had a son named
Patrick. I took him with me to the first doctor's appointment (he was
maybe 1 year old). At this appointment, a group of women including the
doc sat around a table with a bowl of fruit on it. The doctor sifted
through the fruit until she found a blueberry which she lifted up.
Expectant mother fact of the day: A blueberry is the fruit they use to describe the size of the baby at 7 weeks
(where I'm at today in the real world).
But then she put it back and pulled out a plum.
She said "nope, you're farther along than you thought. You're 9
weeks!" Then it got weird (ok, weirder). She asked me, "Do you want to make a
decision today on the baby's sex? How about the hair and eye color?"
All of these things could apparently be determined by changing something
with that plum. I guess the plum actually WAS my baby?? How do these things come out of my brain?
If I see any fruit at my appointment tomorrow, I'm running away as fast as I can.
Update: I just looked up the fruits associated with the baby's size each week of pregnancy. The baby is the size of a plum at 12 weeks. I'm going to take that as a good sign. :)
what an awesome dream!
