Strange Dreams

When I was pregnant with Carson, I remember having some strange dreams. After we found out he was a boy, I dreamt that we went to the hospital, and when we were getting ready to take him home, the nurses dressed him in a pink onsie, and wrapped him in a pink blanket. I got so mad! I can remember yelling in my dream, are you just trying to tease me about having a boy?? I didn't think it was even a little bit funny.



Yesterday, I purchased, (well found a freebie deal, and paid shipping) one of these bad boys. I have heard them called hooter hiders, but found this awesome deal on the website "uddercovers.com." After ordering one, I remembered one of the strange dreams that I have had multiple times in the last few months. After Carson was born, I only nursed him about 3 weeks. I only had a 4 1/2 week maternity leave, and feeling a bit overwhelmed being a new mom, decided that was one of the things I could eliminate.

This time around, especially because I will have a three month maternity leave, I fully intend to figure out the nursing thing. Anyway, the dream... At least 10 times I have dreamt that after we bring the baby home, I just forget to nurse her. She is always totally content, but by the time I look at the clock it's always been 8-10 hours. Well after this going on for not very long, of course my milk dries up. I always wake up mad because I did it again. How could I forget to feed my baby? I'm hoping my mind is just playing it's fun pregnancy tricks on me, and we'll be a little more successful with the whole nursing thing this time around!!
