Dreaming in pink and blue

This is a picture that I took while waiting on Roman.  Pink or blue?
While I was pregnant with Griffin I had a lot of dreams.  Very vivid dreams.  Not only did I have lots of dreams I was also able to remember many of them.  When I was 19 weeks pregnant I had a dream about a baby boy.  In the dream my baby was born and we were home from the hospital.  I was getting my new baby boy dressed.  Problem was I had a 12 month outfit that was too small for my newborn.  I am sure that this dream was actually about my fears of delivering my first baby.  The cool part of this dream?  The baby boy that I dreamt  of was my child.  I was actually seeing what Griffin looked like at about 1 year.  They say that even in the womb a mother just knows...

While pregnant with Roman I wanted to have a baby dream so bad.  I remember thinking and praying about my baby really hard before falling asleep in hopes of dreaming about my baby.  I had no luck.  During my second pregnancy I didn't have many dreams and none of them that I remember were about my baby.  I chalked it up to being really tired when it was time for bed.  I was pregnant with my second child and chasing around another baby.

Moving along to now, my third pregnancy.  Recently I started dreaming very vivid dreams again.  A few nights ago I had a baby dream.  In the dream I was obviously pregnant.  Some how I managed to get my hands on an ultrasound machine.  I decided to do an ultrasound on myself to take a look at our little beauty.  I didn't want to find out the sex, I just wanted to say hello.  As soon as I put the machine on my belly it clearly zoned in on the bottom region.  The body party that I saw resembled a hot dog bun. (this is what they say a baby girl looks like)  Even though it clearly "looked" like a baby girl I still called it as the truth that it was a boy.  I woke up from the dream positive that it was another boy.

Aren't dreams the craziest?!?  What did that last dream mean?  Who knows?!?  I wouldn't call it the dream that I first met my baby like I did with Griffin.  If I did I would have some serious questions!  The dream was probably a result of me having minor anxiety with the ultrasound tech accidentally telling us the gender of the baby or slipping in an accidental he or she.  It could also be God's sense of humor again.  As I long to dream about my baby He wasn't going to let the cat out of the bag that easily again!  Of course we could always just put the speculation to rest and find out if the baby is indeed another boy or a girl, but really....... what fun would that be!    

* Just for the record I think this is another boy!  Griff and Satch call a girl and Roman just calls it a "ba-bee."
