Crankcase

Two bags of jelly beans, a ten-year old and a Tilt-A-Whirl.

I held my child for the first time yesterday. Sorry folks, not in real life, just in a dream. Freakish how detailed it was though.

All I remember was the Missus holding the baby as we walked around some building and went down a flight of stairs (maybe a new house we were moving into?). I commented that I hadn't had a chance to hold gender pronoun yet and she handed gender pronoun over. All I remember was this tiny moon face and pale blue eyes staring at me. The baby had my hair (or lack thereof) and looked a lot like my side of the family (round face, ski jump nose, bright eyes). That and gender pronoun seemed so incredibly small to me, like holding an eggplant (we don't do small children on my side of the family). Borrowing from Dream Moods:

Baby
To see a baby in your dream, signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings.  Babies may symbolize something in your own inner nature which is pure, vulnerable, and/or uncorrupted. If you dream that you are on your way to the hospital to have a baby, then it signifies your issues of dependency and your desire to be completely care for. Perhaps you are trying to get out of some responsibility. Babies may represent an aspect of yourself that is vulnerable and helpless. If you dream that you forgot you had a baby, then it suggests that you are trying hide your own vulnerabilities; You do not want to let others know of your weaknesses. If you are pregnant, then a more direct interpretation may simply mean that you are experiencing some anxieties of making it to the hospital when the time comes.

Which generally means bupkus to me.
