Baby dreams :)

Mrs.HisOnly

I'm pretty sure we've all had them. I had one last night and it just made me realize how consistent mine always are.

So my question is, do you always dream of a different baby? Or is it the same baby every time?

For about the last 2 years, every baby dream I've had has been of the same baby. It's always a boy and he always looks exactly the same.

He's really cute, btw

How nice!!! well, then Justine - that will be your baby!!!!   I actually have not had any dreams I want to have one!!!  my mom keeps telling mne that she has...   and that it's a girl ( I only want girls ) and that she has red hair.. that will be different!

Honestly, I've only had one dream with a baby... and it was actually HER birth.  It was a bit traumatic as she got a dislocated shoulder during birth (random), but I wasn't able to see her face.  All I know is that she had Dh's toes.  LOL  I really dislike his toes, so it was the first thing I checked. LOL

I've had baby dreams, but they're always different. I have noticed though, that they seem to be related to my anxieties and fears. It seems like the more things I cross off my list that are directly related to her either being a girl, or something with her name on it, the more I think "what if this baby is a boy?"

I know I would be thrilled about having a boy or a girl, the important thing is that he/she is healthy. But the pink nursey and the more things I get that say "Carley" make me question the tech's results.

Nikki - not to freak you out because I'm sure Carley is a girl

but I had a friend who had a u/s done and the tech said it was a boy. Her whole pregnancy they told her it was a boy. She bought all blue, navy, boy stuff and when she gave birth it was a girl.

Awesome.

I used to get them often, but it was always vague and the babies were always different. The last one I had (a few months back) was *very* vivid and it was a boy. Strange b/c I always say I want a little girl.

I'm sure I had some baby dreams before I got pregnant, but ever since I found out I was pregnant I have had vivid dreams about having a boy - and I've seen him in different stages of his life - I think the last one was when he was 5, in kindregarten and I got called in to the principal's office cause he did something - I even had a whole conversation with him - weird.

So I always felt I was having a boy and then the day we were going to do the sonogram to find out the gender I was really nervous that it would be a girl and that I would be disappointed - I'm sure I wouldn't have been cause I just want the baby to be healthy, but I guess up till that point I was so sure it was a boy that I didn't know how I'd react.

Me?? Freak out?? No, I'm cool as a cucumber.  ::snatches paper bag and takes big, deep breaths:: LOL

Seriously though, I have NO IDEA what I would do if this baby is a boy. I guess he'll just be stuck wearing girly onesies and sleepers with colorful polkadots for the first couple days LOL!

That is amazing how you have had different dreams with the same little boy in it. That should mean something.

I have had baby dreams, but its always been different babies.

That is so cute Before I got pregnant, I had a lot of baby dreams but I could never make out the baby's features very clearly. Since I've been pregnant, I've BARELY had any baby dreams...I think maybe one? And again, I couldn't really remember what the baby looked like. It was just a generic baby.

Emma being a boy is one of my biggest fears. Not because I wouldn't love a boy, but because of how much I've already planned on her being a girl. I've already bought so much girl stuff and I'm sure I'll be getting tons of girly stuff at my shower. I can't imagine all of that going to waste and having to start from scratch with buying boy stuff. A lot of the big ticket items (furniture, stroller, car seat, swing, pack'n'play, etc.) are gender neutral, but we have sooo much girl clothes

Luckily, as far as ultrasounds go, we got a pretty clear, 100% sure type of shot proving that she is a girl. It's not just that there was a lack of boy parts...the tech could actually SEE her girl parts (the labia). So if it turns out at the next ultrasound or at her birth that she's a boy, there's definitely something freaky going on in there lol.

LOL don't worry, I think for the most part it happens the other way around (they tell people boy and it ends up being a girl). I was freaking out my entire pregnancy because of that (they told me boy and everyone kept saying my belly looked like a girl belly, etc.). In the end I had a boy! lol

Just- that is super cool that you always dream of the same boy! I read or saw (don't remember) something like that before and the person had that baby! I also read before that babies "pick" you and some decide to pop up in dreams (like yours). I'm not sure if I believe any of that BUT it's pretty cool to think about!

Definitely very cool to think about. That just made me all happy inside for some reason lol
