Dreaming of labor

I dreamt of my labor last night.  And as dreams go, it was not accurate, but it felt so real.  I was outside for most of it.  The person helping me was a doctor I had never met.  And of course, as in most dreams, I didn't feel any pain (ha!).

I felt the baby moving, turning, descending.  I loved pushing.  And in the end I had a baby.  A baby.  I held that baby in my arms and I felt complete.

When I woke up this morning, the last wisps of the dream fading away, I was fully disappointed to find that there wasn't a baby to hold in my arms.  Not yet anyway.
