I cried myself to sleep last night. I am pregnant and hormonal and emotional and the devestsation from hurricane Kartina is so heartbreaking. I prayed for the victims first and then I prayed for a sign for me to know what this baby is to make me peaceful again. I dreamed last night- which is not something I remember usually, my dreams. L:ast night it was so real- so vivid/
I went to an ultrasound, but my entire family was there waiting. They put a probe on my belly and my belly became transparent and I cound see the baby. We took her out of my tummy and I held the baby up, water dripping from the tiny body. "see, it is a girl!" my family said. I turned the baby over and they said,"it really is a girl" and we looked at the anatomy. I then opened the legs and looked and reached down and saw that there was a pee-pee, it just hadn't been allowed to decend because of a small flap of skin there. I pulled it back and out it came. 'It's a boy," they cried. I dressed him in a yelloe sweater and held him for a while. He was too tiny, and not fully formed yet. He coughed and I knew he needed to go back in me. I kissed him, told him I loved him, and told him I would see him when he was ready to come out. And then I woke up....my 17 month old was crying "Mama" from his crib. Is this the sign I had asked for?
