Preschool competition, and weird dream
D was reading the NY Times online about the competition to get into preschools. The parents have to write essays for their children. One mother described one of her children as a "soft-hearted jock" and the other as a "mischievous lover." He's three years old, people!!! At any rate, they both got in. Apparently there are more slots than people, and the process is fiercely competitive.
I had a really weird dream which in my view is blog-worthy, though controversial. With some trepidation, here I go.
In the dream, it was March and I got pregnant in January. We weren't telling anyone for the first trimester. There was some question of paternity but D said it was OK. (Again, just a dream, people!)
While I was pregnant, I was on The Apprentice. I decided to quit because the stress was bad for the baby. Donald was understanding.
Then D and I were at the supermarket and a girl started telling me how she was coming out to her family.
In the dream, I gained some weight (probably much less than a real pregnant woman would). I went from 4ish to 8. My chest also got bigger ;)
OK, end of weird dream.

i'm not sure i want to have a baby right now, but i have this fascination with being pregnant. weird, huh?
Here's my crazy dream (actually, I'm a little embarrassed by this). Sometimes I have to pee in the middle of the night, and every once in a while I don't wake up until I'm in physical pain. When this happens I always dream that I'm in labor (the pain), but I didn't know I was pregnant. And I'm panting and telling everyone how dumb I am and oh God, I haven't seen a doctor or taken a single prenatal vitamin!
When I wake up from "laboring" I know I have to get to the bathroom asap. Hopefully I'll never dream that my water breaks. :)
Kitkat - exactly! I don't know why pregnancy appeals to me, even, but it does.
I love dreams. I don't believe they mean anything, but they are quite fascinating what goes through our minds while we sleep!
Oh I can't even believe I'm commenting on a post about pregnancy. LOL What my sister went through didn't look very fascinating. She told me "it was like when we're kids, I dream of being pregnant and being a mommy, and you dream of being in the army and going off to war. The reality isn't nearly as great." with that said, she said she'd not trade it for the world.
Dreams are so cool. I believe that our brain's on a different channel when it dreams, and picks up different things, like the past, or the future or conversations with the dead.
Mike - You're a brave man :) I was thinking, probably no guy will comment on this.
I've had a couple of dreams of having a baby and I'm crying like crazy but I can never see their face. Maybe I'm crying because they're ugly. LOL

My dream this morning, a long lost friend contacted me and split up with his wife. In real life, she hated me because she was a racist b*tch. It's too bad that dream wasn't real.
Thanks for dropping by recently. I'll try to make it to blogland more often.
I think you're just kind of getting your self thinking in that direction. You seem to want kids someday and no doubt if it did happen you and D would be delighted, if scared. I have to say that I've always been among the people that wasn't afraid of pregnancy, but I'm scared of being a parent. I'm looking forward to it, but I just don't feel responsible enough.
