Dreams

During the first few sleep-deprived weeks after Aidan was born I would often startle awake thinking that I was still holding Aidan and had forgotten to put him down before I fell asleep. That never actually happened, thank goodness, but I've heard from other moms that they've woken up thinking the same thing. I guess its just the anxiety of parenthood.
However, my dream last night took it to another level. I woke up, or really only half-woke up, and thought I was holding Aidan. I got up, went into his room, and leaned over his crib to put him in bed. But then my hands touched him, and I suddenly realized he was already in his crib. It scared the crap out of me, and it woke Aidan up. It was freaky. I hope it doesn't happen again.
