So, strange dreams are a common symptom of pregnancy...or so I've heard. But man! The one I had last night has got to be off the charts CUH-RAZY.
And for your reading pleasure, I will share:
It started out normal enough...I was feeling my stomach while Ziggy was moving around and I found his head. (That was the only normal part).
When I did he lifted it a bit and you could kind of see the shape of it protruding from my abdomen.
I called out to JT to come look. "His head, babe! Look you can see his head!"
As JT came running to see, baby lifted his head even more...so much so that I had two bumps on my stomach...the normal pregnant one, and a well-defined-baby-head-shaped bump on top of that one down near my right leg.
JT gasped, then exclaimed, "He's ugly!"
"What?!" I said, "He can't be! He's our baby!"
The little guy had lifted his head so much that my skin was stretched tightly around his facial features. Problem was, I couldn't see much more than the back of his head because his face was pointing down. I craned my neck for a better look...
"He's not..." I started, but then I too gasped. "You're right! He's ugly!"
Ziggy started pushing his whole body...outward. Slowly little fingers, knees, elbows, and toes were visible under my taught skin. He just kept pushing more and more until...he just...emerged from my stomach and was no longer under layers of skin. I feel like there is some image from a movie I could compare this too, but am having trouble placing it. Like a ghost going through a wall? But not that easy. It wasn't creepy or anything like Alien. It wasn't like my skin split...he just was under it...and then he wasn't. He kind of bubbled apart from it...not unlike a lava lamp. You know when a clump of "lava" starts to separate and eventually is two bubbles? If I had to attach an onomatopoeia to it, it would be "BLUB."
BLUB...and he was out.
As soon as he was out he started smiling and wiggling and was immediately cute and wonderful and I held him on my chest. I held him for a minute...just full of love and not at all phased by how he had come to be in my arms.
But after a short time, we all (baby included) decided he better go back in because he wasn't done.
For whatever reason, going back the way he had come was not even an option...it wasn't even a thought. Instead...
The little bugger got up, assumed a diving position with hands above head and lunged at...well...the NORMAL exit route babies take. I did one hellofa Kegel trying to block his re-entry.
"He's not going to fit that way!" I yelped.
JT said something like, "You've got to relax and let him back in."
I tried to relax, but every time he dove, I'd block him (unintentionally). Like when your tongue fights a pill you just don't want to swallow.
Eventually he got back up there...somehow...like that "Egg in a Bottle" science demonstration.
But then he was breech.
The end.
That was it! That was my crazy dream. Anyone care to analyze???
OMG, you're right! That is a CRAZY dream! Very descriptive, bizarre yet not entirely creepy. I hope the weird dreams don't get weirder... I have crazy dreams without being pregnant, so I'm a little terrified of what my twisted mind might cook up. You had me laughing so hard with the "egg in a bottle" -- I could just picture that (modestly, of course). Good luck on your first week of school!
