A pregnant pause.....

I had a dream that I was pregnant.

Those of you that know me just laughed out loud....or at least chuckled quietly to yourselves. I don't think pregnancy is an option for me at this point....but for some reason this is the second time in the last 6 months that I have dreamed about it.

Of course I was thrilled! I was so happy to know that I had a new life inside of me that would soon be a beautiful bundle of joy to hold in my arms. It was a disappointment to wake up and come back to reality. I'm not sure why I am having these dreams. My theory is that it's because I am nearing the end of my childbearing years. Somehow my body is subconsciously either refusing to let go...or is letting me have some last bits of that type of happiness through a dream (since there is no chance of it ever being a reality again in my lifetime).

It's kind of sad....but yet.... as I now cross the threshold into a different era of my life, I am looking forward with a bit of excitement to the new adventures it will bring!
