Another cool encounter (?)

At our most recent ultrasound, I got to see the coolest thing I've ever seen: my baby do a full kick. It was amazing, and it's an experience I will never forget.

I had a dream the other night about the baby.

In my dream, I went 'inside myself' and saw the baby's face. I spent a few moments just being with the baby, and stroked his/her face with my index finger.

It didn't feel like a dream, it was very vivid, felt very real, and I woke up feeling much more connected to the baby.

Just thinking about it now makes me quite emotional, and I'm getting all teary-eyed.

I don't know what to think about it, though. Part of me wants to believe it's real, and part of me feels it was just a vivid dream.

Any input?

Update: Forcing the annoying scientific 'everything-must-be-proven-or-make-sense-in-some-way" part of me to go away, I believe that I met the baby, that I stroked his/her face with a spiritual representation of my finger or something like that.

Either way, the thought of it leaves me feeling a lot happier than if I believed it was just a dream. :)

I believe it was real.

I sure hope s/he'll visit again (didn't focus on anything but the face and upper body, didn't see gender!)

I'm also asking that the baby visit Chris in a dream. I feel so connected to the baby now, and Chris doesn't, I know it's normal but it makes me a little sad sometimes. Too bad guys can't feel what it's like to have this person kicking and moving inside.

It's become an awesome reminder of how lucky I am. : )

Instead of an Out Of Body Experience, you had an Into Body Experience!

Very cool, regardless! :)
