Channeling anxieties

Apparently Packrat and I have delivery anxieties even though my due date isn't for another few months. It's manifesting itself in our dreams. Two nights ago, I dreamt that I was in labour and the doctor came in, in his scrubs and said he was busy with another delivery so could Packrat please do the honours? And apparently, the offspring was two months premature. But it didn't seem what I was concerned about. I seem to remember being more concerned that the offspring being premature meant my maternity leave for the year was screwed up. Way to go, Mommy, worrying about rubbish like that when obviously the offspring was off in NICU.

Anyway.

And last night, Packrat dreamt that the offspring were born. In the plural and both were boys. I didn't think it was that bad until he added that one boy was caucasian and one boy was dark skinned. That led to a look and a put-on accusatory"what have you been doing behind my back?" I wanted to retort that he went off to game so much and a girl had needs. But since it was 6 in the morning, my brain wasn't being all that mischievous.

Put the two dreams together, we're having premature twins that are not only fraternal, they're of different races and Packrat will deliver them.

I hope none of the above happen. No premature birth, no NICU, no Packrat standing in place of my Obgyn (primarily because I think he'll pass out from fright) and no surprises with skin tone.
