A couple of days ago, I dreamt that I had a baby. The pregnancy was a short 2 months and next thing I know, *poof* and I had a baby! And everything happened so fast, I couldn't find anyone to take care of the baby when I had to go to work, so I stayed home to look after the baby and I even fed the baby!
Out of curiosity, I went to check out the dream interpretation of having a baby.
"To dream that you or someone is having a baby, suggests that you are giving birth to a new idea or project. It also represents new beginnings or some upcoming event. A more direct interpretation of this dream, may represent your desires/ anxieties of giving birth or the anticipation for such an event to occur."

I have no idea what new idea or project is cooking in my brain. Neither do I know of any new beginnings or occurrence of new events. So I guess I fall into the category of anticipating the event of giving birth. Hmmm... Perhaps it's just because I'm always hearing Geraldine and Mabel discussing about babies in office?
To show how much I am infatuated with babies, I will share with you something which I experienced while I was on the train, heading for work this morning.
A relatively young couple, say in their mid to late twenties, were engaged in conversation throughout the train journey. Suddenly, the girl took out a plastic bag and started to make the puking action. I was initially horrified because I am super afraid of the smell of vomit; it never fails to make me nauseous. So I was holding my breath and hoping that the girl wouldn't puke in the train. She did it a couple of times throughout the remaining 1 to 2 stops. After a couple of minutes, I can't help but smile because I thought that she might be pregnant and having those morning sickness issues. Don't ask me why, but I felt really happy there and then. I even had the urge to congratulate the young couple, but of course I was too shy to do so. See, I wonder what's into all this baby infatuation lately.
I think that a baby is a very special gift that one should appreciate, love and treasure. In the movie "Juno", Vanessa asked Juno's father if he ever felt that he was born to do something and shared that she felt she was born to be a mother. Although later on things fell through between Mark and Vanessa, Juno still let her adopt the baby and it was a really sweet scene when she displayed the motherly affection for the new born in the hospital. And I always thought that I never wanted kids because they require high maintenance, now I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just like Vanessa -- born to be a mother.
Of course I'm not entertaining thoughts of having a baby now. Perhaps I'll have one in a couple more years down the road when I am married and everything has stabilized. In the meantime, I will be kept busy with enjoying life without commitments and doting my babies -- Nibbles and Xiaobai. I super love my babies.
