26 Weeks: “English Hothouse Cucumber”

Little Cillo is already almost 2 lbs. and as big as, quote: “an English hothouse cucumber.”  The weird baby dreams have also started.

I remember when I was pregnant with Jakey and I had all sorts of weird dreams.  Dreams he was as big as a GI Joe.  Dreams where he was born as a full-grown toddler.  Dreams where it was a boy.  Then a girl.  And dreams where I could see the whole baby through my stomach like a horrible alien movie.  My very last dream it was a regular-sized, normal looking baby.  They held it up and I said, “Who is it?  Is it Jacob?”  And so it was.  Like a dream premonition.

The little English hothouse cucumber has kicked into gear… leading to my baby insomnia and my first creepy baby dream.  I could feel a whole leg through my tummy… it sounds gross and I hate to say it… kind of like a cucumber?!  And then it was alien baby.  Sweet dreams.
