From the Womb

When I was pregnant with my second child, at the age of 26, I had two separate and distinct dreams about her. At the time, my husband and I had no idea what sex the baby was. In the first dream, I dreamed that the baby would be a girl with red hair and blue eyes. Within a week of the first dream, I dreamed that she would be born at 6:01 and that she would weigh 6 and 3/4 pounds. At her arrival, she did indeed have red hair and blue eyes. She was born at 6:01 a.m. and she was weighed in at 6 pounds. However, the nurse said that she was so close in weight to 6 pounds that they just rounded it off and that she could very well have weighed 6 and 3/4 pounds. I thought that a strange coincidence. I never had an experience like that with my first daughter...and I haven't had one like that since.

It didn't really change my life, but it did leave me with a calm reassurance.
