The kiddo is asleep and I’m waiting for him to wake up any second now, so I’ve been browsing old blog posts, and I came across this one<\/a> about a dream I’d forgotten I had. Since I am not delusional, I know you are not going to click that link, so I am going to quote the post in its entirety: <\/p>\n

I was in a swimming pool with [name redacted] and we were [activity redacted]. (Excuse the redactivity but telling the truth would be highly awkward.) When we finished, he made some sort of overture that something was going on down there, and I\u2019m sure I don\u2019t have to explain the exact geography of down there. I reach down and sure enough I can feel a heavy, round presence there, and it\u2019s getting bigger. It\u2019s a head! It\u2019s coming out! I\u2019m having the baby! And holy crap he is moving down that tunnel with a quickness!<\/p>\n

I feel no pain as he makes his exit \u2014 he just slips right out into my hands, and I struggle a bit to get a grip under his shoulders as he\u2019s underwater and slippery, not to mention heavier than I thought he would be.<\/p>\n

I bring him up out of the water and to my chest, and he is lovely and warm against my skin, and such a nice rosy color. I can\u2019t quite see if he is breathing but he is quiet and I feel his warmth next to me and the slight tensing pull of the cord against my skin.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s out and it was easy and unexpected and I\u2019ve finally met him. All smiles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had this dream nearly three months before Holden was born, but what’s nuts is that this is pretty much exactly what happened<\/i>, without elaborating too much. Except, of course, there was a period of many hours between the first activity and the birth. And it was anything but painless in the literal sense, but was indeed painless in a more philosophical sense. But good grief, that dream is spot on, down to the not being able to see if he was breathing and the cord tension (we had a short cord so I couldn’t hold the baby up and get a good look at him until it was cut.) Isn’t that weird? That is weird. Pretty amazing, actually. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
