Baby Dream

-
So far this pregnancy has been emotionally difficult for me. Among other things, I've had difficulty feeling bonded with this baby.

Last night I had a dream.
My baby was born, a baby boy. The nurse told me his name was Joe. :)

I don't remember much, but I remember that he looked about 3 or 4 months old. I laid him on the bed and bent over him. And he looked at me straight in the eyes and smiled and smiled. His whole face was alight with the joy of seeing me and he smiled so hard he couldn't keep his eyes open.

And in that fraction of a moment, I was filled with joy too.
And I smiled back at him and said: "I'm so happy to see you and I'm so glad you're here with me!"

That's wonderful! I had a dream before my daughter was born that was really funny. I dreamed that I was hearing third hand that I had had a boy and that I had named him Peyton!?! I was fairly disappointed in my naming abilities, and glad it was just a dream.

God works in amazing ways :) When and how you bond with your children is so different with each one. I don't think there is really a norm, which is a good thing in my book ;)

thank you Laura! I am definitely seeing this dream as God's gift to help me out here. He is a good God. :)

Alaina, tonight I was talking about baby names with my husband. He kept pulling my leg with his supposed "favorites" so I thought of your dream and told him really seriously that I liked the name Peyton. He was aghast for about 5 seconds till I couldn't help laughing at him being taken in. ;) I'm glad you didn't name your child Peyton! :)
