My first baby Dream

So last night I had my first baby dream, and it obviously was reflective of my hidden anxiety about being a mother that I did not know I had.  Let me break it down for you.

Part One:
I am carrying my child, a boy by the way, and the name Cooper (that my mom loves), seems to be quite fitting.  He is blond and pale, which is so far from what this child will look like, it freaks me out.  Maybe I will have an albino child???!?!?!?!?  Anyhow, I have Cooper in my sling, go into a convienence store, and then leave....5 minutes goes by and it turns out that I left him in the store!  I run back in, grab him and then wander off to the next part.

Part Two:
I find a really sick, moribund greyhound in the middle of the road that has huge tumors on his neck.  He is about to die and I am freaking out that some owner could actually leave their dog out to die like this!  I have Cooper on my hip tending to this dog when the fire trucks come up the road and over the loud speaker announce "Everyone please stay where you are.  This is now a quarantined area.  This dog carries a rare spore that will kill everyone."  Great, I just freaking exposed my child to a mutant spore that will kill us all.

Part Three:
I am going to a horse show (dreams with horses =5-6 times now that I have been prego) and I need to get ready for the show, so I give Cooper to a dear friend to watch over (name will remain anonymous).  I go get ready for the show, tack my horse up, get dressed and run to the booth that Cooper and friend were at before I go into the ring to compete and Cooper is missing.  I can't find him anywhere, and then find him on the ground under the table at the booth.  He has a huge black eye!

Needless to say, I wake up, and tell my mom immediately about my weird dream.  Her sincere and not sarcastic response: "G, you are gonna be a great mom." 

Awe, thanks mom for making me feel better!
