DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

This was my bump at 27 weeks with Beau

I had a dream last about being pregnant.

In my dream, I was 7 months pregnant and I had just decided to start documenting my bump and was kicking myself that I hadn't started doing it sooner. 

In contrast, when I was pregnant with Beau, I actually started out documenting my bump from the word go...but it didn't last long, and I really regret it. Pregnancy is such a precious time, and I don't remember a lot of it. I think this dream was sent to remind me that if and when I am blessed enough to get pregnant again, I must savour every moment of it. I follow a lovely little blog by Gaelyn called My Corner View and she did the most amazing post in which she documented her 40 weeks in 40 seconds. She had taken a photo of herself every day throughout her pregnancy then put them all in a cool little stop motion video...I LOVE this idea and am totally going to steal it when the time comes. 

And I have every faith that the time WILL come. My theory is:

I had it so easy with Beau. He was unplanned, so we had no struggle to conceive, I had a relatively easy, trouble free pregnancy, labour was labour but I came out fairly unscathed, and in the 2 and a bit years that he has been with us so far, he has mostly been an angel. So I think this is the universe just showing me that actually, these things are not to be taken for granted, they are not always easy and they are to be very much appreciated.

I know that when the time comes and I am sat up in the middle of the night with a crying baby, pulling my hair out with exhaustion, I will look back and remember these times and remember just how much I wanted it all.

And in the meantime, at least I have this beautiful boy to make to smile :o)
