Recent Dream
Okay so last night I had an amazing dream. About my daughter. My mom, sister and I had been discussing baby names the other night after dinner and I said that my two favorites were Electra Jeanne (for a girl) and Lucas James (for a boy). Well that night I dreamed about Electra, or Elie for short. In my dream I held her in my arms, she was about two months and she was mine from the soft auburn curls on her head down to her little pink toes. She was Electra. I was somewhere in my mid twenties, but I don't think I was married. The biggest thing was the feeling I felt. It was like being happy, ecstatic, joyful, all at once and as if the emotion infused (en? or in?) every inch of me. It was happiness to a degree I know that I've never, ever felt. It was my baby, a beautiful daughter I'd given birth to and who made me feel so complete and connected. I woke up this morning with a smile on my face and feeling very happy. I even told my mom. She smiled and the feeling and then said no babies yet. :) Don't worry, no babies till after law school.
