Baby giveaway

        I dreamed last night that they were giving away babies at BYU. At least I think it was BYU; the setting in dreams is always a strange combination of different places I've been. The long-anticipated baby giveaway happened during a lunch break one day, when names were drawn to see who would win. I was dying to get a baby, but I was crushed when my name wasn't drawn. I don't remember everyone in the dream, but I do remember that my cousins, Liz and Sarah, each won a baby, as well as my old friend from the McKay TEC Lab, Joseph, and his wife. As barbaric as it may sound, it was supposed to be a way for couples struggling to have children to get a free adoption, and of course it made perfect sense in my dream. I remember begging and begging Liz to let me have partial custody of the baby she and her husband had won, or to let me somehow be a third legal guardian. In the end, she reminded me that there was a good reason I hadn't won -- because babies do best in a home with a loving father and mother, and not just one or the other. Well, I firmly believe that, so then I let the issue go. That's when I woke up!

        Can you say, "baby hungry"? I had no idea my subconscious wanted a baby so badly!
