New dream

   So I took a nap this afternoon and had a very very vivid dream.  I am going to write it in here so I don't forget any of it.  I just woke up about thirty minutes ago so it is still fresh in my mind.  The rest of this post is going to be the dream:


   I wake up on March 27, 2011. I make breakfast for my husband and my kids knowing it is going to be two weeks before I see them again.  After breakfast we watch tv for a while and play games on our new XBox Kinect.  At lunch time I finish packing and load the car with my bag, the car seat and stroller, and a small cooler with snacks.  I am going to Louisiana to be with my friend Corby for her c-section the next day and stay for weeks to help her out since she won't be able to drive for two weeks.  I kiss my husband and kids goodbye, grab my cell and charger and head out the door. 
   I few hours later I arrive at Corby's.  Our other friends Kourtney and Kylie are there.  We all hang out and talk about Corby's other two kids, my three kids, my grandson, and my daughter-in-law.  We all settle in for the night and prepare for an early morning.  Kylie stays at the house to get Meredith of to school then heads to the hospital. 
   At the hospital Corby gets settled in and the nurse asks who will be going into the c-section. Corby tells her it is going to be me.  I get into scrubs and get the camera and we head in for the c-section.  They get started and within a few minutes the doctor says "Here comes his head." I stood up to take pictures of him.  The doctor holds him up and I take many pictures of him.  I even get to cut is cord.  They take him over to the small bed to clean him and check his first set of APGAR.  They wrap him in blankets and hand him to me to take over to Corby.  She kisses him and whispers I love you.  The nurse says she has to take him to the nursery for his first bath and check ups.  Corby tells me to go with him.
   I go back to Corby's room after they finish her surgery and Kourtney and Kylie are with her.  We sit and talk for a few minutes when they bring in the baby.  I pick him up to hand him to Corby and she starts to cry.  
   "I can't do this.  I can't take him from you." Corby says.
   "What do you mean you can't take him from me?  You aren't taking anything from me. He is your son." I say.
   "I see the way you look at him. You love him. He is yours." she says. I look confused at her, and Kourtney, and Kylie.  "You need to take him home, he was always meant to be your son."
   "Of course I love him, he is my godson. What do you mean 'take him home'?" I say.
   "I want you to adopt him and take him home." says Corby as she pages the nurse. "Can you find me an attorney?" she asks the nurse.  A few minutes later an attorney and a counselor come in the room.  They ask me, Kourtney, and Kylie to leave the room.  They talk to Corby for a couple of hours and tell her that she has to hold the baby.  After a couple of hours they call me back into the room. 
   "Mrs. Corby has decided that she wants you and your husband to adopt the baby.  After talking with her and making her hold the baby she says that she has no connection to this baby and that she feels he was always meant to be your son." the counselor tells me.  The attorney pulls some papers out of his briefcase.
   "These are basic adoption papers, all we have to do is put in everyone names and sign it.  Do you have a name pick for him?" the attorney asks.
   Before I have a chance to say anything Corby says, "His name is Jaxson William Dayle."  She looks at me and smiles and says, "I love you Shiela and I know in my heart that Jaxson is your son."  
   I stand there looking shocked and have no idea what to say.  Corby picks up the phone and calls my husband and tells him to go get the crib we have in storage and get it set up.  I tell her that we have nothing. No diapers, no clothes, no bottles, no formula...we are completely unprepared.   The nurse smiles and says that they can give us several packages of diaper and a couple cases of formula to get us started.  I call my little sister in Las Vegas and tell her what is going on.  She says that she has two boxes of my nephews clothes from when he was first born that she will over night to me.  
   "What about my husband? Doesn't he have to sign the papers?" I ask the attorney.  The attorney tells me that after me and Corby sign the papers I can take them home and have my husband sign them then mail them back to him.  He will then take it to court and have the judge sign off on them and within a few weeks we will have the birth certificate.
   I stay with Corby for a couple of days until they release her and the baby from the hospital and she tells me to go home.  I tell her that I am supposed to stay for two weeks and she says that she has Kourtney and Kylie to help her so I can go home and that I need to take the baby home so that his daddy, brother, and sister can bond with him.
   I pack up all my stuff and the baby's stuff get him settled in his car seat give everyone hugs and say goodbye. The drive home is the longest drive of my life even though it is only three hours.  I get home and am greeted by my family who instantly start cooing over the baby.  We start our new lives together as a family of five.  I call all of our family and friends and give them the news, they are all happy for us and wish us the best.


   Then I woke up.
