I think the fact that we are adopting a baby is slowly sinking in to my subconscious. I'm having dreams. Lots of dreams. Every night.
Dreams about caring for things, babies, friends with babies, babies dying. Dreams where I have to save babies or help babies. Dreams where baby animals are left on my doorstep.
Dreams where I am telling my boss about the adoption plans. Dreams where I wind up finding something else to do with my days so I can spend more time with my baby. Dreams where I am having a hard time balancing work and family.
Needless to say, I wake up just a tad exhausted from all these dreams.
I've heard when you are pregnant you have crazy dreams. Maybe the same applies for adoption?
Hmmmm.

- I'm a truth-seeker. Depending on what sort of mood I'm in, I might also tell you I'm a writer, consultant, doula, herbalist, educator, or activist. Fact is I'm trying my best to juggle all of these "me(s)" with strength and humor, grace and dignity. This is where you can grab a front row seat, watch me drop balls, and curse.
When we were going through the adoption process I had dreams all of the time too. The only thing that helped was slowly doing things that I knew would be helpful when we were matched...like painting a room or making some artwork. My anxiety speaks to me through dreams...i swear!
