Dreams

I'm a notorious bad dreamer. I wake up screaming, crying, and yelling more often than not, and my dreams sometimes continue when I'm awake. I hear loud noises, see people, and often don't recognize my husband sleeping beside me.

I've heard that pregnancy can really mess with your dreams, so I've been pretty nervous these past few months, but I haven't really had any unusual episodes. I'm pleased to say that tonight for the first time, I dreamed of my son. It wasn't a graphic dream like I've been dreading, but a sweet dream. He was absolutely adorable, I loved him more than anything, and all I wanted to do was carry him around and snuggle him. It was a quick dream, and when I woke up, I was really sad it was over.

I've come a long way from the anxiety attacks and dread I was having in the first trimester, and as I enter my third I think I can finally say with confidence that I'm ready, and I can't wait.
