Spider Panic

And last night, during one of my 45 minute sleeps, I had a dream that my girls and I were all in one of their rooms and we saw a spider crawling down the wall. I pointed it out to the girls and it started walking on Angelica's face (she's never been scared of spiders). When it crawled off of her, it no longer looked like a large daddy-long-leg, but it looked like a tarantula, only it was black with orangey-red spots and it was about three times the size of a tarantula! Gabby tried to pet it but I yelled at her not to, because I had no idea if it was poisonous or not. I ran to the kitchen cupboard to get some bug spray (would Raid actually kill a spider of that size?) and then found it had moved to the bathroom. I went into the bathroom and found it right above the kitchen door poised to jump. *shudder* So I started spraying it with the bug spray, and it fell to the floor and started running. It ran into my room (which was really a room I haven't seen since I was 11), and into my closet. I kept spraying it and hit it with one more burst of spray before it disappeared into the closet, but I didn't want to check for it myself, so I called Robert and told him about it and that he had to come home and make sure it was dead. I don't like spiders, but I don't usually panic around them, yet in my dream I was really freaked out!

Unborn Baby Boy Visits

I had a dream about a baby last night.

I can't remember most of the dream very clearly, just that I was doing a lot of different things in it, and whenever I went back into my room, there was a REALLY tiny baby sleeping, just laying on top of the covers. It was dressed all in blue and it was really tiny - premie tiny. In my head I would think, "Oh, that must be Jenn's baby (my younger sister)," and I would let it sleep. But again, every time I went back into my room, the baby was still there.

Finally, I started to worry, because it was so small, that something might be wrong. So I went over and picked the baby up. He opened his eyes and kind of blinked over and over in that squinty, sleepy-eyed newborn way and I immediately felt so full of love for this tiny little baby, and I knew he was mine. His arms weren't any bigger than my fingers, and his body would have fit in the palm of my hand. He still had a wet umbilical cord attached to his belly. Then I woke up.

Now, this might sound typical for a pregnant woman to dream, but although I have had some very weird dreams during my pregnancies, I NEVER had one that so vividly included a baby in it (I had one about a monkey once though). It just really stuck in my head after I woke.
