Oh baby

[jethrien]

Last night, I dreamt I was pregnant. I was two or three months along, and Chuckro suggested that maybe I should start looking for an OB/GYN or start taking prenatal vitamins or something. I told him I'm sure it was fine, I didn't see any doctors or take any vitamins at all for the last baby, and it came out fine! Speaking of the last baby - did he remember what we did with it? I remembered we had managed to settle on names - Gabriel if it was a boy, Cowan if it was a girl. But I couldn't remember which it had turned out to be, or what we'd done with the baby afterwards. And it occured to me that maybe getting pregnant again two months after having the first one hadn't been the best idea ever.

Also, baseball was involved somehow.

I can't decide whether this dream means my subconcious thinks I want babies right now, or whether it thinks that babies are a terrible, terrible idea. But Chuckro says I can't have any more until I stop losing the ones I already had.

Also, he vetoes Gabriel as a name. Strangely enough, he didn't have any remarks on Cowan. (Cowan? Is that even a name? WTF, subconcious? Where do you even come up with this crap?)

That is a totally awesome dream sequence, but I have to say... I also like the name Gabriel.

I actually really like the sound of the name Gabriel - but I don't think I could ever name my son that. It sounds pretty and girly, it has the sound "gay" in it, it's uncommon enough to be weird...I just feel like it would be similar to sending my seven year old out onto the playground with a target taped to his back. It's unfortunate that the opinions of other seven year olds is something I feel a need to consider, but my kid's already got a decent chance of being a bespectacled, clumsy, smart little nerdling with big hair. I don't need to add to the reasons to pick on him.

Point taken. Should I have children, however, I think I will try to keep them out of public school systems rather than try to make them more appealing to the rest of the little savages.
