Beautiful Baby Ella... and other strange dreams...

Lately, I have been having the craziest dreams... at least they aren't nightmares. I don't know what has gotten into my brain, but the past two weeks or so I have had the most vivid dreams about real-life events coming up.

First it's beautiful baby Ella I have been dreaming about. --The dream starts out that we are going to see my sister after she has Ella at the hospital. When we arrive at the hospital, it is more like the Hico clinic... unimpressive and portable. Entering the "hospital" area we see my sister, Lacey, who has supposedly just given birth via c-section, out in the parking lot playing tennis. She intructs the family and myself to go on in and the staff will hand us Ella to hold and meet. We take our seats and this large baby is placed in my arms. Casey mentions that the child, who we think is baby Ella, looks peculiarly more like a boy. Then Casey instructs me to "check the diaper" to make sure. I do so and as I see what is obviously NOT a girl part... a lady comes from the back and says "Oh, sorry. That is baby Noah, this is baby Ella". And this kind lady hands me the most BEAUTIFUL strawberry blonde baby I have ever seen. -- Very strange dream isn't it?? My sister doesn't even play tennis :)

There was also an Ella dream that followed a few nights later, but as hard as I try, I absolutely cannot remember anything about it. I just remember waking up and having to question when Ella really was going to be here. Hmm....

Then a few nights ago I dreamt about my girlfriend's (Kelsi) bachelorette party which is this coming weekend in San Antonio. That dream didn't have quite the detail baby Ella's dream had, but I do remember going on a riverboat cruise on the RiverWalk and I was loaded... I mean D-R-U-N-K. Let me begin by saying I haven't really drank in probably almost 2 1/2 years, so this dream was the farthest from reality, nor do I plan on getting tanked up in SA. At the end of the dream I just remember being in my room in Hamilton and my mom telling me how stupid I was. --I agree, Mom!

Then last night (I must really be preoccupied with thoughts of this weekend) I had another dream about the Bachelorette Party. But, this time I got to San Antonio (sober) and had forgotten all of the decorations, paper goods, and my clothes.. EVERYTHING! I had to drive all the way back to Gonzales.

I actually have been getting really good rest, even though my mind is obviously working overtime. I usually take Unisom to sleep but this week has been so crazy, I've been exhausted enough to not even need it. Maybe crazy dreams are the trade off for restful sleep without medication though??
