Last night's dream started with a large dog. My mother had found him and he was quite wild. She had brought him to my wedding and we were debating where to put him. We decided (after much debate and trying the dog in different locations) that he could be left in the car during the ceremony.
The dream then moved on to getting ready for the wedding. B was there helping me do my hair and makeup. Todd was also there and she helped him with his as well. Then we were playing on the underside of a bridge.

Fruit dreams
Last night, I dreamed that we had stopped at a fruit stand. We bought apricots and plums. The apricots were fabulous.

Birth Center
I'd decided that I didn't want to have the baby in a hospital. Even the good hospitals in the area have above a 20% C-section rate. I don't think there's any way that 20% of births should require major surgery and I want a chance to have the baby without medical interventions (pitocin, epidural, etc). I'd decided to have the baby either at a birth center or with a midwife at home.
Today, we went and toured the Natural Childbirth and Family Clinic. It's very close to our apartment, which is convenient. Two of the doctors there are covered by my medical insurance, which is extremely convenient. We met with Dr Liz, who seems very nice. I liked her sense of humor. She addressed the major concerns that I had (question: what happens if there's an emergency? answer: we go to one of the hospitals that my insurance will cover, she stays with me the whole time). We also got to listen to the baby's heart beat! This is the first time that we've heard it. I saw it on the ultrasound, but that just showed the movement.
I have my last Kaiser appointment for a nuchal translucency ultrasound next week. Then, my new insurance will kick in Oct 1 and I'll start going to see Dr Liz.

B6 and more dreams
I think the Vitamin B6 might have helped. Yesterday was a pretty low-nausea day overall. I took my prenatal in the morning, followed by a B6 at about 1 and one at about 7. I'm going to try again today.... except that I may or may not have taken my vitamin this morning. I had it in my pocket, then it wasn't in my pocket anymore and I couldn't remember if I'd actually taken it. Stupid short term memory.
Last night, I didn't sleep well. I was up probably 5 times to pee. I'm not sure what kept waking me up, but it wasn't my favorite night's sleep. I did have a very lovely dream about whales and scuba diving. There were whales that had beached themselves on this rock. One large whale and several smaller whales. We were concerned about how to get them off, when all of a sudden the large whale jumped off the rock carrying the smaller whales on its back. I was suddenly in my scuba gear and dove into the water to look for something. There were all sorts of little brightly colored fish and tiny animals.
We're going camping today. We got off to something of a slow start. I had set my alarm for 7:30, but then just couldn't get up that early. I turned it off and we stayed in bed till 9, which was my target time for leaving. Now it's 10:15 and we still haven't left the house. Whoops.

Library Dream & Vit B6
Last night's dream involved searching through the library to find a book on something to do with paper crafts. I wanted it because I was going to use the pictures as patterns to put on baby onsies.
The midwife recommended extra doses of Vitamin B6 to combat morning sickness. I'm going to give that a try today. I looked at my prenatal vitamin and it has 104% of my daily B6, which could explain why I usually feel like I'm less sick after taking my vitamin. I'm going to count that as one dose, then take one this afternoon and one in the evening. I'll report back.

More baby dreams
Last night, I had a very complicated dream about two babies that I actually know: Sierra and Jordan. At this point, I can't remember what happened during most of the dream, but I remember at one point, we (me and J) packed both babies into a suitcase for storage. Then, the suitcase fell into the water and I had to jump in after it to rescue the babies.
