A doozy

They say that you have weird dreams when you are pregnant.  I have weird dreams even when I'm not pregnant, but last night's was a real doozy.  I dreamt that we were watching my belly move (which is a common occurence these days) and marveling at how weird it is that there is a living thing inside me.  As we are watching, we see a little hand stick out.  And then I thought, "Hey wait!  I shouldn't be able to see an actual hand sticking out."  Then I looked down and realized that the baby had ripped a hole through my belly so as to be able to stick his hand out.  It was kind of gross looking--blood and guts and everything.  So I showed Justin (in the dream), who almost passed out at the sight of it.  We decided that we should probably go to the doctor considering the baby was starting to emerge of his own accord, but I realized I didn't have my phone with me, and I didn't know the doctor's phone number.  So we decided to drive to my parents' house to get my phone (we were living in a strange alternate universe where Provo and Arlington were somehow combined).  When we finally got my phone, we called the doctor, but she wasn't listening as I tried to explain there was a big hole in my belly with the baby's hand sticking out.  She kept asking about contractions--but I wasn't having any.  I think it was about at this point that Colton came bounding in saying "Me awake!" so I didn't get to see the exciting conclusion.  Pity.

Anyone out there good at interpreting dreams?  My personal take: I'm soooooooooo ready to have this baby!!

My interpretation: baby boy can't wait to meet you. He was literally extending his hand to shake yours.

Do vivid crazy dreams run in the whole Gardiner fam? Jonny is right there w/you with the crazy dreams.
