Last night I got up to use the bathroom and I definitely felt a contraction! My belly was very hard. When I got back into bed I thought I felt another one, then fell asleep concerned about it which led to a very strange dream.
In the dream I think I was having a lot of contractions and decided I should go to the hospital. I called a couple from our church that we recently met and asked them to drive us to a hospital. We didn’t know where the hospital was that would accept my insurance, but we found one I could go to because I was pregnant. After getting checked out it was determined that I would need a C-Section right away, so I did and I was able to hold the baby for awhile, but then I was told he would have to be cleaned and put back into my uterus. So he was cleaned then wrapped in a new amniotic sac made of plastic and put back inside of me.

I remember feeling disappointed that I had had a C-section because that meant I would need another C-section in July before going into labor because the scar would be too new to withstand a normal birth. So I tried to convince myself of the benefits of the C-section; mainly that I could then schedule the birth and let Samuel’s mom know for sure when he would be born so she could be here then.

I told the dream to Samuel and he’s sure that I’ve had a similar dream before – where I gave birth, but the baby had to go back inside me. I don’t remember that one – it’s quite possible I did . So on that note, I decided to document this one. Crazy, huh?
