Ward Words

I had heard that many people have really strange and vivid dreams when pregnant, so I was prepared for that. In fact, I have found it much easier to remember my dreams because they have been really vivid. Last night was the first really strange one though. I dreamt that we had the baby and we had laid it down for a nap. Then, we left for a wedding--that's right, leaving the baby home alone. So, the baby is home by itself, and we arrive at the wedding, which was for Lucas' former roommate Nathan and his wife Morgan (who actually got married several years ago...but I guess my brain felt like it could do a much cooler version of the wedding). When we arrived, we were handed pilgrim hats and mini footballs. Apparently, Nathan and Morgan had each planned different "themes" for their wedding, but neither had consulted with the other to make sure they didn't conflict. Nathan had chosen "Football and the First Thanksgiving." Everyone in the congregation was wearing pilgrim hats, people were tossing mini footballs across the aisles, and the church was decorated with fall colors, leaves, cornucopias, and turkeys. Morgan's theme was "Cinderella." She was trying to direct a horse drawn carriage down the aisle of the church. There were also glass slippers being passed around full of candy. My dream skipped over the ceremony part, and then we were back at home and discovered that we had left the baby there all day! In doing so, we had not changed the diaper all day, thus giving the baby the world's worst case of diaper rash. Ever. I started to cry and then some lady appeared with this magic cream (looked just like vaseline to me) and said if I had coated the diaper with the magic cream, this never would have happened. (No one mentioned that we should have perhaps taken the baby with us. Then I woke up. Hmmmm.
