I've heard that pregnant women (paper pregnant and tummy pregnant) can start having baby dreams. I know some have blogged about their dreams while waiting for their referral. I had my first baby dream last night - well, sort of. It wasn't actually my baby, I was only babysitting. Apparently my subconscious hasn't completely wrapped itself around the fact that I may indeed someday be a Mother....only that I am worthy of watching someone else's child for a few hours. I have also been reading about signing as a way to communicate with babies. My friend Andree' did this with great success and Karen from Gwenblog has also made me a believer.
Anyway, this baby that I was babysitting was adorable. However, she could sign EVERYTHING and FAST. I had no idea what was going on. Her little fingers just kept moving faster and faster and she kept looking at me like I was an idiot. I was feverishly turning the pages of my one signing book and was googling like mad to try and figure out what she needed. Apparently she needed a diaper change. So I started changing the diaper and COULD NOT DO IT. (Yes, I have changed diapers before with no problem. Well, maybe a couple went on backwards but no major problems.) However, not this one. And this baby just kept looking at me like I was a complete moron. After 45 minutes (in my dream I kept looking at the clock) this little girl just pushed my hands aside and changed it herself!!!!!
I'm sure dream interpreters can have a field day with this.

Sounds better than my dream last night, in which my daughter and I were stuck in my parent's kitchen with a stray skunk. It was not fun being "sprayed" even though it was just a dream! What the heck do you think that meant?
Congratulations on your decision to adopt. My husband and I just returned from adopting our daughter this past December.
Just wanted to warn you that the dreams only get more and more strange. One of our friends, just before her departure to China, dreamed that when she got there her daughter was already 13 years old and they found her smoking in a Chinese shopping mall!! :)
Hang in there and good luck!
