My baby girl!

So, it probably stemmed from a pregnancy test I took yesterday. I'm not trying or anything, I just don't take birth control and (TMI) my periods are not cyclical and sometimes completely absent. Anyway, it's definitely negative and I left it at that and didn't think about it again.

However, my brain apparently did. I can't remember the gist of the dream, but at some point I gave birth to the cutest baby girl! I was asleep in the dream and I don't remember being pregnant ever, but I woke up in the dream and had given birth! She was already cleaned off and swaddled up when I first saw her, but she had the biggest dark eyes and lots of black hair (for a newborn baby). She had this tiny white headband with a tiny bow.

I was told she was mine and I was in love. I loved her. I picked her right up and held her for awhile. I went to feed her and she had those little mittens on her hands to keep her from scratching her face. She fed really easily, but kept getting distracted. Anyway, eventually everyone wanted to know what her name was.

Well, I couldn't figure it out, but then I remembered that I had a list. So, I said her name was Quincy, but I kept calling her that, and it just didn't fit. Then I called her Anne. And that was definitely a no, and it wasn't even on my list. Then I called her Hannah, and that was getting somewhere, but it still wasn't right.

Eventually, playing with the name Hannah, I got Jo Hannah and shortened it to Joanna. And that was her name. It just fit. Now, I'm not a huge fan of that name, but it worked for her and it was her name. I just knew it. Then I said her middle name was Lynne or Evalyn (I never did figure out what her middle name was). Either way, I loved having a daughter. And now I want one!
