Pregnancy Dreams

One of the first symptoms of pregnancy for me has always been really wacky dreams. Sometimes they are violent, others include people that I haven't heard from or thought about in years. Almost nightly I have a dream that disturbs me enough to wake me up. Then I lay there in bed and wonder where in the world these crazy thoughts come from. There is something about the pregnancy hormones that just keeps me dreaming the craziest things. Last night's was hysterical and I remember enough of the details to share (aren't you all lucky?). I was very pregnant and I went into labor. Only I was living in the dorms at BYU. I was alone in my dorm room and knew that I needed someone to come down and help me out. I called Laurel, who came down from her room to serve as my labor support person. She did everything that a doula would have, rubbed my back, talked calmly and also helped me finish the life size Christmas tree jigsaw puzzle that I apparently had to finish before I could go to the hospital. With the puzzle finished she then called Nat (on those dorm phones we had) and he came over from his dorm to drive me to the hospital to have the baby. I had to meet him in the lobby, of course, because boys are not allowed in girl's dorm rooms (it wasn't visiting hours). Thanks Laurel, you really know how to help a girl out!
