17 weeks, 4 days: Puppies for Sale!

Another weird dream...



I had a dream I was sleeping and I woke up on our couch with a heavy blanket on me. I was very confused and Scout was doing her crazy kangaroo hops all over the living room. I look down, and no more baby bump. I'm also feeling very tired.



Christopher comes walking through the door with our 'bundle of joy'. I realize at some point I have given birth, but I have absolutely no memory of it. I ask him, "Did I give birth?" He said, "Yes, last night. It went really fast and after about 3 hours I brought you home. You fell asleep so I went back to the hospital." I think 'What?!? I don't remember it and I went home 3 hours later? Is that even possible?' He promptly hands me the blanket with our 'bundle of joy' and I open it to find 6 tiny beagle puppies!! Then he takes the blanket and puppies away from me and sets them on the floor. Scout begins licking them and feeding them.



At this point I am so weirded out, but Christopher nonchalantly says "They're all healthy. Scout is a very proud mama and I'm sure she's thankful!" Again, I am so confused and ask "I gave birth to puppies?!? Where's the baby?" Christopher says, "Well sure, Scout can't have puppies of her own! The baby's at the hospital and I'm going back to bring the baby home this afternoon." I ask how I got pregnant with puppies, and he says it was because I kiss Scout all the time. Then he promptly kisses me on the head and leaves, I guess to get our baby!



I think to myself, 'Let me get this straight. I was a surrogate mother for my dog because we got her spayed. I first gave birth to 6 tiny beagle puppies because I kissed my dog too much, then I gave birth to a baby? And I have absolutely no memory of this?!? What the hell is wrong with my husband?"



I woke up very confused and had to go to the bathroom very badly. I think I'm obsessed with my dog. First I breastfed her, and now I'm having her puppies?!?! Enough with the dog already! (By the way, I know for a fact you don't get pregant by kissing too much!)
