I dreamt I had a baby in my arms

We are going to begin advertising for a baby in mid October. A friend who had referred us to these attorneys told us, you should expect a baby by December. It was the first time that I have been optimistic about the process since our aborted adoption in May. I had lunch with a friend who told me that his mother was an alcoholic and died from the disease. He said seven years later his son was born on her birthday, but he was supposed to be a girl and he felt sure that his mother was coming back for a second chance the whole time his wife was pregnant.

Then I was talking to another friend about renting a boat to sail around Croatia and I said but if we have a small baby it might be tough and a father sitting next to me said – no worries you could travel till they are two and another father said I traveled everywhere with my children without ever thinking about it.

Last night, I dreamt I was going to see a play in New York – I actually had tried to get into the Village Theater tonight but it’s members only night – and I had a baby girl, a big plump Gerber baby girl in my arms and I was sitting there sort of arranging her to be more comfortable and to get the light out of her eyes so she could sleep and I suddenly felt a flood of emotion and realized I loved her. But even more interesting was this baby had apparently just been found and handed to me sort of like Loca was and I knew that we were adopting a son, who was going to be born on December 28th, my mother’s birthday.

    For everyone of course. Meanwhile, we spoke to the attorney finalizing our ad which begins running Oct 11th – aside from the storm clouds of mom’s situation I feel, what can I say, excited about the possibilities.
